One contractor. Hardscape, landscaping, drainage — all in-house. No subcontracting, no scope confusion, no mystery quotes. Just 17 years of Triangle experience and a proposal you can actually read before you sign anything.
No obligation · We bring design concepts to the first visit · Durham to 100-mile radius
Most Triangle homeowners who've been sitting on a backyard project aren't indecisive — they got burned by a quote they couldn't evaluate, or a contractor who disappeared after the consultation. We fix both problems on the first visit: a line-item proposal you can actually compare, and a team that has been finishing projects in Durham, Apex, and Holly Springs since 2008.
"We had standing water every time it rained and a cracked slab that had been there since we bought the house. Antonio's team fixed the French drain, removed the old concrete, and put in the patio and fire pit all in one project. The proposal was itemized — I knew exactly what I was paying for before I signed. Six weeks from first visit to finished."
We handle hardscaping and landscaping in-house. No second contractor to find, no timeline coordination, no scope gaps.
Custom slab and paver patio design built for Triangle terrain — including sloped lots, clay soil prep, and proper drainage integration.
Built for Durham's rolling terrain. We engineer walls that hold — and transform sloped, unusable space into flat, functional backyard area.
Wood-burning and gas starter fire pits, code-compliant and custom-styled. Stone patios, walkways, and accent work in marble, sandstone, and granite.
Standing water in the rear of your yard isn't normal — it's a solvable drainage engineering problem. We fix it the same week we build the patio.
Zone 7 design that actually survives the Carolina summer. Sod installation, garden beds, mulching, and ongoing lawn programs — all calibrated to Triangle growing conditions.
Front-entry walkways, garden paths, and outdoor transitions that match your home's architecture and hold up through Carolina freeze-thaw cycles.
Seventeen years of Triangle projects means we've solved your yard's specific problems before — the sloped grade that pools water, the cracked slab that's been there since the previous owner, the sod that dies every August. These aren't surprises to us. They're the job.

Fill out the short form below. Takes about 2 minutes. Tell us what you're working with — sloped lot, drainage issue, cracked slab, fire pit wish list. We'll review it before we contact you so the site visit is focused, not exploratory.
Same-week scheduling availableAntonio or a senior team member walks your yard, assesses the slope and drainage conditions, and talks through what the project actually involves. We bring design concepts to the first visit — not a blank notebook. We answer the drainage question before you have to ask it.
Design concepts included at no chargeWe don't send a single number and wait. You get a written proposal broken down by category: demo and removal, patio area and materials, fire pit installation, retaining wall, drainage system, landscaping. You understand what you're getting before you sign. Your spouse can look at it and ask questions. That's the point.
Itemized scope · No surprisesOnce you're ready, we file all permit applications and coordinate all inspections in Durham and Wake County. You don't touch the county website. We give you a project timeline with milestones, and your project manager is reachable by phone — not just email.
Permits handled · One point of contactOur crew works the project start to finish — no subcontractors dropping in and out. Typical full backyard builds (patio + retaining wall + drainage) run 6 to 9 weeks. We don't leave a site mid-project. The backyard you use every weekend gets completed before summer.
6–9 weeks · No subcontractingReal reviews from Apex, Holly Springs, Durham, Cary, and Chapel Hill. Read them on Google before you call.
Takes 2 minutes. We review your answers before we contact you — so your site visit is useful from minute one.
