Before We Draw Your Avondale 3D Backyard Design

Avondale's 1920s homes, deep porches and live oaks set the tone, so new outdoor rooms should look like they belong to the house. Telfair Stockton's Avondale Company opened the neighborhood in 1921 with curving streets and parks, and most homes date from the 1920s and early 1930s. On an older house, a pergola's beam ends, color and scale are chosen so it reads as part of the original design.

Seeing two options side by side settles most backyard debates in minutes. Before we draw a 3D backyard design in Avondale, we check how the roofline ties in, where the sun sits in the afternoon and what your HOA will want to see.

When designing an outdoor living space, UF/IFAS suggests planning power for cooking and lighting early.

Approvals and Permits in Avondale

Most Avondale homes have no HOA, but the historic district review applies to nearly all exterior work. We prepare the Certificate of Appropriateness application with scaled drawings, materials and 3D renderings. A 3D rendering shows a review board exactly what will be built, which often answers questions before they're asked. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

Avondale is inside the consolidated City of Jacksonville, so building permits go through the Building Inspection Division's online system, JaxEPICS, where zoning and the fire marshal review plans along with building.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the price of a 3D backyard design in Avondale set?We price each project from its AutoCAD design. Electrical; HOA requirements; site work; what you're building; and engineering and permits all move the number. Every AY Luxury Designs project has a $10,000 minimum, and the itemized quote arrives within 24 hours of your consultation.

Is the design free?Yes. You get to-scale 3D renderings and a fully itemized custom quote within 24 hours of your consultation.

Does the quote match the design?Yes. Your itemized quote follows the design you saw on screen.

Do I need a Certificate of Appropriateness for a backyard project in Avondale?Yes, for most exterior work. Avondale is part of the Riverside Avondale Historic District, so the City reviews exterior changes before the building permit. We prepare the application with scaled drawings, materials and 3D renderings. The decision is the City's.

Do I need HOA approval for a new backyard project in Avondale?Only if your home is in an association or has deed restrictions, and many Avondale homes don't. If yours does, we prepare the package your board asks for (site plan, scaled drawings, materials and colors, 3D renderings). Either way, we design to the local rules and pull the permits. In Riverside and Avondale, the City's historic district review applies to most exterior work whether or not you have an HOA. Confirm current guidelines with your association.
