Find Hardscaping Pros in St. AugustineSt. Augustine's outdoor hardscaping market ranges from the small courtyard gardens and historic brick pathway restorations of the ancient city's residential neighborhoods to the expansive pool decks and outdoor entertainment areas of World Golf Village estates. The city's historic character creates unique hardscaping opportunities — reclaimed brick, antique-look pavers, and traditional garden wall designs complement the Spanish Colonial architectural heritage of the area. For newer communities, contemporary paver patios and outdoor kitchens are the most requested projects, with St. Johns County permitting requirements governing all structural outdoor additions.

Create Your Business ProfileStructures over a certain size typically require a permit through the City of Jacksonville Building Department. Outdoor kitchens with gas lines always require permits. Even in unincorporated St. Johns County, retaining walls over 4 feet and covered structures require permits. Your hardscaping contractor should handle the permit process.
Concrete pavers are the most popular and cost-effective for NE Florida driveways and patios. Porcelain pavers offer a high-end look and stay cooler underfoot near pools. Natural travertine is popular for pool decks but requires sealing. Avoid dark materials in full sun — they absorb intense summer heat.
Proper slope (minimum 1/8 inch per foot away from structures), permeable paver joints, and channel drains along the low edge of the patio are standard solutions. A good hardscaping contractor in NE Florida will assess your lot's drainage before designing the project.
