Outdoor Lighting in Ponte Vedra Beach: What's Different

Outdoor lighting in Ponte Vedra Beach. Lighting is what makes a Ponte Vedra Beach backyard usable after sunset: lit seat-wall caps, step lights, lanterns on columns and recessed lights in a wood ceiling. On our projects in The Coves (Sawgrass Players Club) and Sawgrass Country Club we planned the lighting with the structure, and the electrical work was permitted with the build.

Your neighborhood's architectural review comes first. Lighting and electrical additions are permitted work, and many Ponte Vedra Beach associations review exterior lighting. We include fixtures and placement in your HOA package and pull the electrical permit. Confirm current guidelines with your association.

St. Johns County permits. Ponte Vedra Beach is in St. Johns County, which issues the building permit, usually after a clearance sheet, and automatically notifies registered architectural review associations. A recorded Notice of Commencement is required for most permitted projects. See our St. Johns County permit guide.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, LEDs use at least 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs and last about 25 times longer.

Our Work in Ponte Vedra Beach

Pergola-to-gazebo makeover with travertine and seating walls, Sawgrass (Ponte Vedra Beach) We removed an aging pergola and outdoor kitchen and replaced them with a custom cedar gazebo with a wood ceiling, a screen enclosure with a motorized retractable screen and a linear fireplace. French-pattern travertine, seating walls, columns and a water feature tie it together, with in-ground lighting for evenings.

Shed-roof covered patio extension with linear fireplace and natural-stone lanai, Sawgrass Country Club (Ponte Vedra Beach) This family's old pergola was falling apart, so we took it down and rebuilt the whole back lanai. The new covered patio extension uses a single-slope, shed-style roof, chosen because an A-frame wasn't the right fit for this home, with a stained tongue-and-groove ceiling, recessed lights and ceiling fans. A linear fireplace sits on a white stucco wall with a wood mantel that matches the ceiling, built-in seating and a TV above. Heaters are tucked into the headers, and stucco columns carry lanterns. Natural stone runs through the covered and open patio, framed by a white stucco seating wall with lit caps, and lit steps lead down to the yard. A retractable screen separates the covered extension from the open-air patio, and the upper balconies were rebuilt and re-tiled to match. The new roof was color-matched to the home's original tile roof.

Cedar A-frame over-frame, gable screen enclosure and fireplace bar, The Coves (Sawgrass Players Club) We demoed this backyard and started over. An expanded-view A-frame (gable) screen enclosure flows into a custom cedar A-frame we over-framed onto the house, with a second A-frame dormer to match the home, and large panoramic sliding doors open the living room straight to the lanai. Under the A-frame, a stained tongue-and-groove ceiling holds lights, ceiling fans, speakers and heaters. A white stucco linear fireplace with a TV above is flanked by shiplap privacy walls with lit shelves and a wet bar on each side, and a white stucco outdoor kitchen has a grill, storage and a level back bar. A French-pattern natural-stone deck and a fire bowl finish the space.
