Shade and entertaining for homes in Solana Bay at Avenir
In Palm Beach Gardens, FL, a backyard that is too hot at noon rarely gets used. Add shade, a place to cook and lighting that takes over at sunset, and the same yard becomes the spot where everyone wants to be.
Cliff's Pools & Patios has built pools and outdoor-living spaces in Broward and Palm Beach counties since 1986. We plan the pool, roof and kitchen together so they feel like one space.
Cliff's is not affiliated with Solana Bay at Avenir. What we offer is a free in-home consultation to study your own yard, sun angles and the way you like to entertain.
What we build for shade and entertaining
We mix and match these around your yard and how you entertain.
- Covered roofs - shaded living space that stays usable through sun and passing showers
- Pergolas - filtered shade and a defined lounge or dining area
- Outdoor kitchens - grill, counter and seating so the cook stays in the party
- Pavers and patios - durable surfaces that handle heat, rain and foot traffic
- New custom pools - a centerpiece with evening lighting planned in from the start
- Artificial turf - a green, low-maintenance spot for kids and pets
Designing for Palm Beach Gardens weather
Strong sun and humidity shape every choice. We can place a roof or pergola to follow the afternoon sun and suggest cooler-underfoot deck materials.
Heavy summer rain makes drainage essential. We plan grading, drains and patio slopes so water moves away from the house, pool and kitchen.
Hurricane season matters too, so covered structures must be engineered and anchored to local requirements. We also talk through salt-free versus saltwater systems and energy-efficient pumps and heaters.
HOA review and permits
Many planned communities require architectural review approval before exterior work. If you live in Solana Bay at Avenir, check your own community documents for what applies to a roof, pergola, kitchen or pool.
Cliff's prepares the drawings, site plan and material details you need for a submission. Approval decisions stay between you and your community.
We then pull permits with the building department that has jurisdiction for your address, whether the municipality or Palm Beach County. We are licensed (CPC1460184, CBC1265425) and insured.
