St. Augustine · St. Johns County
St. Augustine's fort was built from coquina stone in the 1600s, so this city knows a thing or two about building to last. In St. Johns County, the right outdoor kitchen depends on where your yard is: a historic district downtown, a barrier island in the salt spray, or a master-planned community inland. Here is how we plan for each.
Downtown, island or inland
Each one comes with its own rules and its own conditions, so each gets its own model picks.
The City of St. Augustine has five Historic Preservation zoning districts, HP-1 through HP-5. A Certificate of Appropriateness is required for most work inside them, and the Historic Architectural Review Board (HARB) reviews applications against the city's Architectural Guidelines for Historic Preservation. Talk with the city's Historic Preservation staff before you settle on anything. Downtown lots and courtyards tend to be small, so think compact.
On the barrier islands, salt exposure is the main design problem. Choose models with the GSL-32 grill in 304 commercial-grade stainless, rinse it with fresh water and keep it covered. 304 holds up well with that care, and 316 resists salt better still. Avellaero stone does not oxidize and never needs sealing. On the ocean side, St. Johns County has a state Coastal Construction Control Line, and most construction seaward of it needs a Florida DEP permit.
Master-planned neighborhoods such as Palencia, north of the city, usually have bigger lots, screened pools and an HOA or architectural review board that signs off before you build. Bring your community's guidelines when you visit, and see our Knowledge Center for HOA approval tips. A free 3D design and the product spec sheets make a clean submission.

Our showroom is about 45 minutes north
Philips Highway, where our showroom sits, is US 1. Follow it south and it takes you to St. Augustine, or take I-95 if you'd rather. Either way, plan on roughly 45 minutes, depending on traffic and where in the county you start.
The drive is worth it once. Photos can't show you how Avellaero stone feels, how heavy a 304 stainless grill hood is, or how much room an island bar actually takes up. Our showroom floor can.
Possibly, but check first. A Certificate of Appropriateness is required for most work within the city's five Historic Preservation districts (HP-1 through HP-5), reviewed against the Architectural Guidelines for Historic Preservation. HARB generally meets on the third Thursday of each month, and the city's Historic Preservation staff can tell you whether your project needs review.
Choose models with the GSL-32 professional grill, which is 304 commercial-grade stainless, such as the St. Croix 9 + GX-6 or Maui 10 + GX-10. Rinse the stainless with fresh water, dry it, and keep the grill covered. Avellaero stone countertops never need sealing and do not oxidize.
Rules vary by community, so read yours first. Most master-planned communities have an architectural review board that wants a site plan, product specifications and color selections before you build. We provide a free 3D design and spec sheets, and our Knowledge Center at /learn/ covers the HOA approval process.
About 45 minutes. Our showroom is at 8206 Philips Hwy, Jacksonville FL 32256, on US 1, the same highway that runs south into St. Augustine. I-95 works too.
