What Shapes a 3D backyard design in Riverside

Memorial Park, designed by the Olmsted Brothers firm, is Riverside's riverfront centerpiece. Riverside is part of the Riverside Avondale Historic District, one of the City's locally designated historic districts. On a tight lot, a pergola can define a dining area without making the yard feel smaller, and setbacks decide exactly where the posts can go.

Looking at the design from inside the house shows what you'll actually see every day. Before we draw a 3D backyard design in Riverside, we check what your HOA will want to see, the views from inside the house and where lighting goes.

UF/IFAS lists a tree, an umbrella or a pergola as ways to get daytime shade in an outdoor living space.

Approvals and Permits in Riverside

Riverside is part of the Riverside Avondale Historic District, a local historic district, so exterior changes need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the City before the building permit. That includes site work like fences, driveways and sheds, whether or not the work can be seen from the street. Most associations ask for drawings and materials; 3D views make the package easier to read. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

The City of Jacksonville permits Riverside projects through JaxEPICS, after historic review.
