Backyards, start to finish

One plan. One crew. One backyard that works together.

Most backyards are built in pieces, a patio one year and a pool contractor the next, and it shows. We design the whole space first in 3D, then build it in the right order with our own hardscape, masonry and pool crews.

  • 3D design you can walk through before we break ground
  • Hardscape, masonry, pools and kitchens in-house
  • Drainage and grading engineered, not guessed
  • Built to handle Carolina summers and freezes
How we work

Services

Everything outside, under one plan.

Build it all at once or in phases. Either way, it starts with a single design so every piece fits.

Featured project

The North Hills backyard

Project detail

Project detail

A sloped, soggy backyard that the family of four only crossed to reach the car.

The challenge

Water pooled after every storm and the yard dropped four feet from the house. Nothing could be built until the drainage was solved.

What we did

We regraded the lot, added a French drain and two retaining walls, then built a two-level patio with a fireplace, outdoor kitchen and a lawn for the kids.

We've used the backyard more this year than in the previous ten combined. The kids basically live out there now.

The 3D design sold us. What they built matched it exactly, right down to where the sun hits at 6pm.

They fixed a drainage problem two other companies told us couldn't be fixed. Then built us a stunning patio on top.

FAQ

Questions homeowners ask us

Don't see yours? Call (919) 555-0163.

How much does an outdoor living project cost?

Patios with a fire feature typically start around $35,000. Complete backyards with a kitchen and pool range from $120,000 to $300,000+.

When should we start planning?

Fall and winter. Designing now means you're first on the build calendar for spring.

Do we have to build everything at once?

No. We design the whole backyard, then build it in phases that fit your budget.

Do you handle permits and HOAs?

Yes. We prepare drawings, pull permits and handle HOA approvals.
