Built on Experience.
Run on Integrity.
SDS Construction is a Fernandina Beach-based contractor with over 30 years in the field. We build outdoor spaces, install landscape lighting, and handle light commercial construction across northeast Florida.
We've been doing this
a long time.
SDS Construction LLC has been in the construction business for over 30 years. We started — and stayed — in Fernandina Beach because this is where we work best. We know the soil, the codes, the coastal conditions, and the permit process here. That local knowledge is part of what you're getting when you hire us.
We're not a large regional company. We're not a franchise. We're a local contractor with a small, focused team that handles the projects we take on from start to finish — no hand-offs, no crews we don't know, no communication gaps.
Over the years, we've built patios, pergolas, hardscapes, outdoor kitchens, fire features, and landscape lighting systems for homeowners, designers, and general contractors across Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island, Yulee, Nassau County, Jacksonville, and St. Augustine.
We also added light commercial construction to our scope — tenant improvements, commercial build-outs, and commercial outdoor projects in Jacksonville and St. Augustine — because the same project management discipline that makes us good at residential outdoor work translates directly to commercial.
The Practical Choice for
Serious Builds.
We're not the flashiest contractor in northeast Florida. We're the one that shows up, communicates clearly, and delivers what we promised — on time and within budget.
30+ Years in the Field
Three decades of construction experience means we've seen the problems that come from cutting corners — and we don't cut them. We've built through Florida's humidity, hurricanes, and coastal conditions long enough to know what lasts and what doesn't.
One Team, Full Scope
From the first concrete pour to the last lighting fixture, we handle every phase of your outdoor project in-house. One point of contact. No subcontractor shuffle. No communication gaps between trades.
We Work Around You
Occupied properties are not a problem. We've built on lived-in homes and operational commercial sites for years. We plan the work to minimize disruption and we keep you informed every step of the way.
Trusted by GCs and Designers
General contractors and interior designers bring us in because we show up on schedule, communicate without being chased, and deliver clean work that holds up to scrutiny. If you need a sub who can manage their own scope, we're it.
End-to-end, start to finish.
We offer a turnkey experience — we can plan, coordinate, and complete your project to your schedule and your specific needs. Here's what that looks like in practice:
We listen first.
We meet with you to understand exactly what you want. We ask questions, take measurements, and make sure we have the same vision before anything gets built. If your plan has problems, we'll tell you before you spend money finding out the hard way.
We put together a clear scope.
You get a detailed proposal with an itemized scope of work and pricing. No vague line items. No surprises in the invoice.
We manage the project.
Permitting, scheduling, coordination, on-site organization — we handle it. You don't have to manage the process. That's our job.
We build it right.
Solid, quality construction. Materials selected for Florida's climate and your specific location. Work that holds up.
We follow up.
When the job is done, we don't disappear. We walk the project with you, make sure everything is right, and stay reachable afterward.
Based in Fernandina Beach.
Built across northeast Florida.
Our home base is Fernandina Beach. We've been building here long enough that we know this market — the neighborhoods, the conditions, the codes. From there, we serve Amelia Island, Yulee, and Nassau County for residential outdoor construction, and Jacksonville and St. Augustine for light commercial work.
"SDS built our pergola and patio from scratch. They showed up every day, kept us informed, and the finished product exceeded what we imagined. Our backyard is completely transformed."
