Why Building in Orange Park Is Different

Architectural review. Planned communities such as Eagle Landing and Oakleaf Plantation run their own architectural review, and older Orange Park neighborhoods may have deed restrictions instead of an HOA. We prepare a neighborhood-specific package with a scaled site plan, elevations, materials and 3D renderings. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

Permits. Unincorporated Clay County issues permits through its Building Division, with a Planning and Zoning site review first for additions and accessory structures, while homes inside the Town of Orange Park use the Town's permitting office. A certified Notice of Commencement is required for most permitted projects. See our Clay County permit guide.

The setting. Orange Park sits on the west bank of the St. Johns River, with Doctors Lake and creeks running through it, so waterfront exposure and mature trees are common design factors.

Fans cool people, not rooms: the breeze creates a wind-chill effect, according to ENERGY STAR.

Local Notes for Orange Park Backyards

Town or county. The Town of Orange Park is its own municipality with its own permitting office, while neighborhoods like OakLeaf Plantation and Eagle Landing are unincorporated Clay County with an Orange Park address.
On the river and Doctors Lake. Orange Park sits on the west bank of the St. Johns River, with Doctors Lake to the south.
Our Orange Park work. In Eagle Landing we built a black cypress pergola with a custom stone wood-burning fireplace over a paver patio.

A roof overhead blocks direct sun, but some UV still bounces in from bright surfaces like dry sand or concrete, the Skin Cancer Foundation notes.

Who Builds Your Project

AY stands for Amany Youssef, the founder who designs every project with you and stays personally involved through the final walkthrough. Amany came to the United States as a young child, grew up in Jacksonville, graduated from the University of Florida, and earned her Florida building contractor license. When she did, she became the youngest female licensed building contractor in Florida at the time. Today she leads an experienced team of designers, project managers and builders.

Amany is a member of Professional Women in Building, a council of the Northeast Florida Builders Association (NEFBA), and serves as co-chair of its STEM committee. In St. Johns County, she speaks regularly to students at Tocoi Creek High School about careers in construction, and AY Luxury Designs takes on Tocoi Creek students as interns.

Our Design-Build Process

Design session with Amany. Your project starts at our Jacksonville design studio, where you sit down with founder Amany Youssef and watch your backyard take shape live on screen in AutoCAD.
Free AutoCAD design and a custom quote. You get to-scale 3D renderings and a fully itemized custom quote within 24 hours of your consultation, so you know exactly what you're getting.
In-home design visit. Amany comes to your home for an in-person walkthrough, so we look at the project together where you're most comfortable, finalize the details and choose your colors and finishes.
Engineering, HOA and permits handled. We get the necessary engineered documents for every permitted structure, prepare your HOA/ARB package and pull the Clay County or Town of Orange Park permits.
Build. We can start most projects within two to four weeks. Our crews follow a build process we've refined over many projects, and you get daily updates.
The AY Advantage. You hold back the final 5% for seven days after completion, so we can take care of any touch-ups before you sign off.

Financing is available through Synchrony Bank, including 18 months of no-interest financing, and we have other financing options as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an outdoor living project in Orange Park cost? It depends on the design, so there's no standard price. The main cost drivers are the size of the space; features like fireplaces, fire pits and screens; electrical; engineering and permits; HOA requirements; site work; and materials. Every AY Luxury Designs project has a $10,000 minimum, and you get a fully itemized custom quote within 24 hours of your consultation.

Is my Orange Park home in the Town of Orange Park or Clay County? Many homes with an Orange Park mailing address, including Oakleaf and Eagle Landing, are in unincorporated Clay County rather than the Town. We check your parcel and file with the right office.

Do I need a permit for a gazebo, pergola or outdoor kitchen in Clay County? Usually, yes. In unincorporated Clay County, additions and accessory structures need a Planning and Zoning site pre-review before the building permit, and a Notice of Commencement is required for most permitted projects. Inside the Town of Orange Park, the Town issues the permit. Every permitted structure we build gets its necessary engineered documents, and we pull the permits and schedule the inspections for you.

Do I need HOA approval for a pergola, gazebo or patio cover in Orange Park? Expect it. Most Orange Park homes are in a planned community, and the review board approves structures and most backyard changes before work starts. We design to your community's guidelines from the first sketch and prepare the full submission for you. Approval is up to the board, so confirm current guidelines with your association.

Do you serve Orange Park? Yes. In Orange Park, our projects include a pergola and an outdoor kitchen on a paver patio, with a spot for the hot tub and lighting. Projects start with a design session at our Jacksonville studio, followed by Amany's in-home design visit.

Have you built in Orange Park? Yes. In Eagle Landing we built a black cypress pergola with a custom stone wood-burning fireplace over a paver patio.

How soon can my project start? It depends on the project's scope. We can start most projects within two to four weeks.

Do you offer financing? Yes. Synchrony Bank financing is available for our projects, including 18 months of no-interest financing, and other options are available as well.
