What recent reviews say

Most projects finish on time with crews arriving punctually and leaving yards spotless. Owners Bill and Luke often visit sites to guide work, and reviewers consistently praise creative design options, straightforward quotes that don't balloon, and professional staff who adapt to feedback.

One client reported feeling unheard during a consultation: Luke steered toward ideas outside their vision, overemphasized a non-issue around their pool, and didn't reference their detailed video brief. The reviewer found this frustrating but acknowledged the company's beautiful finished work. All other recent reviews (19 of 20) reflect strong satisfaction with design guidance, execution, and communication.

Praised for
  • responsive design consultation
  • on-time delivery and efficient crews
  • clean job sites and professional cleanup
  • fair pricing and quote accuracy
  • creative solutions and attention to detail
Watch-outs
  • consultation not tailored to client vision
  • suggestions proposed outside project scope
  • poor listening during site visits

Best for: Homeowners wanting design input from experienced owners and transparent, fixed pricing on patio and outdoor living projects.
Think twice if: Prefer a single designer to stick with your vision throughout; one client felt consultation steered toward ideas they didn't request.

  • Bill noted for scheduling and follow-up communication
  • Owners personally visit most sites to guide crews
  • One project: 20x20 paver patio with 32 privacy trees completed in two days
  • Another: 20x20 covered pavilion with TV wall, pavers, sidewalk, driveway expansion, and curbing
  • Quotes given on-site before crew leaves property
  • Jobsite cleanup described as 'spotless' and 'no evidence of work'

Common questions

How quickly can they provide a quote?
Luke typically delivers a quote on-site before leaving the property. One client received theirs the same day and paid exactly that amount with no additional charges.
Do they handle large multi-component projects?
Yes. One reviewer had them complete pavers, sidewalk, driveway expansion, new curbing, and a 20x20 covered pavilion with TV wall. Another had a 20x20 patio, 32 privacy trees, and additional shrubs installed in two days.
Will they work within a budget?
Reviewers report they 'deliver quality results' while 'working within budget' and find their pricing 'competitive and fair.'

Daniel and his team transform aged travertine decks reliably. Every recent review cites punctual arrival, clear updates during the job, and finishes that look newly installed. Their core strength is travertine repair-leveling, re-grouting with polymeric sand, sealing, mastic replacement-but they also handle broader deck resurfacing and paver work. Willingness to wait for their schedule suggests demand outpaces availability. Reviewers mention specific crew members (Daniel, Leo) by name and trust them for follow-up projects. Pricing is consistently called fair for the caliber delivered. One customer waited weeks for an opening; no rushed timelines documented.

Reviewers consistently praise Corey and the sales team (Juan, Ken, Brandon, Julia, Erin) for friendly, attentive service and keeping customers informed at every step. Hot tub purchases, repairs, and sauna installations earn strong marks for efficiency and professional setup. A few customers report gaps in follow-up communication and frustration with product durability and warranty repair fees. Most reviews centre on hot tub and spa sales, service calls, and setup assistance rather than deck or porch work. The business states it serves Charlotte, Cornelius, Matthews, Winston-Salem, and Rock Hill since 2004.
