Palm Beach County · Delray Beach
Around Lake Ida and the beach the homes are older and the coastal breeze is the whole draw — a breeze-side patio with a built-in grill and fire feature is what the backyard was made for.
Delray's strength is the east side — Lake Ida, the beach district, Del-Ida Park — where established homes sit close to the water and the coastal breeze is the whole point of being outside. Many of these homes date to the 1950s through 80s, and the backyard is ready to become a real outdoor room: a breeze-side patio, a built-in grill, a fire feature, and a paver floor that ties the seating to the garden.
This close to the ocean, salt and heavy summer rain drive the material choices. We spec stainless components and sealed pavers that shrug off the salt, coordinate the gas and electric for the grill and lighting, and set the floor on a proper base for the sandy coastal soil so the whole space stays looking new with an occasional rinse and reseal.
The good news on the east side is simplicity — most of these streets are non-HOA, so approval is usually just the city permit for the gas and electric. We pull the City of Delray Beach permit, build the base for the coastal soil, and grade the drainage away from the home.
Coastal east-side lots deal with salt and high summer rain — we spec stainless and seal the pavers for the salt, coordinate the gas and electric, and build the slope to move heavy rain to the swale or street, away from older homes with low thresholds.
Yes. A built-in grill, a fire feature and a paver floor set to catch the coastal breeze is a favorite here on the east side. We spec stainless components and sealed pavers for the salt air and coordinate the gas and electric so the space is ready to use.
Usually just the city permit. Most of the Lake Ida and beach-district streets have no HOA, so we simply pull the City of Delray Beach permit for the gas and electric, handle any drainage requirement that applies, and get to work.
They will. We spec stainless components and sealed pavers so salt and storm runoff bead off, and because the floor is individual units over a compacted base, any section that ever settles near the water can be lifted and reset with no visible patch.
It depends on the scope, materials and site prep, which is why the on-site visit and written estimate are free and itemized. Financing through Wisetack is available so the budget does not decide the timeline.
