Alabama Avenue NE Shore Acres Courtyards

Alabama Avenue NE sits in Shore Acres, the canal grid northeast of downtown St. Petersburg. Lots are shallow, seawalls are close, and summer rain sits in the courtyard if the field pitches the wrong way.

What the courtyard actually needs

We measure the lanai threshold, the side-yard outfall, and the low spot after a rain before we cut the field. Native sand does not lock a paver courtyard. The base is compacted aggregate, deep enough that the first wet season does not dish the middle.

Pitch runs away from the house and toward a legal outfall, not into the neighbor's swale or against the seawall cap. A rigid edge keeps the first course from walking into the planting bed.

Salt air and joint sand

Shore Acres salt air fades a painted face faster than a mainland driveway. We specify through-body color and wait to talk sealing until joints are locked and the field has settled. A seal on a dirty or wet courtyard just traps the problem.
