Custom Outdoor Living Project in Charlotte, NC
The Challenge
This Charlotte, NC homeowner needed an outdoor space that solved a specific problem — drainage, sloped grading, an underused yard, or a transition between indoor and outdoor living — without compromising the look of the home. Our team scoped the site, identified the constraints, and proposed a design built around the way the family actually uses the space.
The Design & Material Selection
For this project we specified premium hardscape materials, chosen for durability in Charlotte's freeze-thaw cycles and for the way the color and texture sit against the home's existing architecture. The layout was drawn to match the home's sight lines, the lawn's natural grade, and the way the family moves between the house, patio, and yard.
The Final Result
Drainage Solutions & Fescue Grass Sod
The Outdoor Living Tip of the Day is Drainage Solutions & Fescue Grass Sod. From a muddy mess to a new lawn, we installed a French drain. Included with the drain was several pipe outs. In addition, we laid down new Fescue grass sod. Happy times ahead in this backyard in Charlotte. Thanks Debbie Blair Stallings for the business and allowing us to create your Drainage Solutions.
