Outdoor Construction in Fernandina Beach, FL
Based in Fernandina Beach. Building outdoor spaces here for over 30 years.
We know Fernandina Beach.
SDS Construction is located in Fernandina Beach. We're not a Jacksonville company that drives down for jobs. We're not a national franchise. We're a local construction company that has been working on homes and properties in this area for over 30 years.
That means we know the neighborhood types — the older homes in the historic district with specific character requirements, the newer construction in the subdivisions west of US-1, the coastal properties that need materials rated for salt air, and the wooded lots in Nassau County that need different foundation approaches.
When you hire SDS, you're getting a contractor who already knows your area.
One Contractor.
Full Scope.
Patios, Hardscapes & Concrete
Concrete and paver patios, walkways, driveways, and outdoor surface work. We factor in Florida's rain, heat, and coastal soil conditions in everything we pour and set.
Patios & Hardscapes →Pergolas & Patio Covers
Shade structures built to handle Florida's sun, humidity, and salt air. We match materials to your property's specific conditions and your maintenance preferences.
Pergolas & Patio Covers →Outdoor Living Construction
Full outdoor builds — patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and everything else that turns a backyard into a space you actually use. Multi-phase projects coordinated by one team.
Outdoor Living Construction →Low-Voltage Landscape Lighting
Path lighting, accent lighting, patio lighting, and security lighting. Installed as part of new builds or as a standalone project on existing properties.
Landscape Lighting →Outdoor Repairs, Restorations & Renovations
Cracked patio, rotted pergola, outdated outdoor space. We assess honestly, repair what can be fixed, and replace what can't.
Repairs & Renovations →What We Know
Coastal material requirements
Properties close to the water — Centre Street area, beachside, Amelia Island — need materials and fasteners rated for salt air. Zinc hardware corrodes fast near the ocean. Certain wood species hold up better than others. We spec accordingly.
Historic district considerations
The Fernandina Beach historic district has design guidelines for exterior changes. We're familiar with the requirements and can help you understand what's permissible before you commit to a design.
Nassau County permitting
We know the permit office, we know what's typically required for the projects we do, and we handle the application process. Outdoor construction permits in Nassau County are required for most structures over a certain size and all attached structures.
Soil and drainage
Sandy soil and Florida's rainy season make drainage planning important on any concrete or hardscape project. We assess drainage before we design and build.
