Planning a 3D backyard design in San Marco

Close to San Marco Square, lots are compact, so a single well-planned outdoor room often does the work of a whole backyard. The neighborhood's shops and restaurants center on San Marco Square and its fountain, a short walk from many homes. On an older house, a pergola's beam ends, color and scale are chosen so it reads as part of the original design.

Designing the whole backyard at once makes later phases fit without rework. Before we draw a 3D backyard design in San Marco, we check your survey and setbacks, how furniture fits and where lighting goes.

In NAHB's study of home buyers, 86% rated a patio essential or desirable, making it one of the two most-wanted features.

Approvals and Permits in San Marco

San Marco isn't a locally designated historic district, but individual homes can be local landmarks, and a local landmark needs a Certificate of Appropriateness from the City before exterior work. We check your property on the City's map before we design. Boards respond well to clear 3D renderings alongside the site plan and materials. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

The City of Jacksonville permits San Marco projects through JaxEPICS. We file and track the permit for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a minimum budget for a 3D backyard design in San Marco?Yes. Every AY Luxury Designs project has a $10,000 minimum. Beyond that, the cost depends on HOA requirements; site work; what you're building; materials and finishes; and engineering and permits, and your fully itemized custom quote comes within 24 hours of your consultation.

Where does the design session happen?At our design studio at 8917 Western Way, Suite 7, Jacksonville. Then Amany visits your home for the in-home design visit.

What should I bring to the design session?Photos of your backyard, a survey if you have it, and pictures of ideas you like.

Can an outdoor room fit a compact San Marco lot?Usually, yes. A single well-planned room, placed on the least visible side of the house, often does the work of a whole backyard.

Does my San Marco home need HOA approval for a new backyard project?It depends on your street. In San Marco, most homes have no HOA board and no historic review. Individually designated landmarks are the exception. If yours has one, we prepare that package along with the permit. Confirm current guidelines with your association.
