You'll know exactly what your project costs before any work begins. We never charge to come out and assess your property — no fees, no surprises, no pressure.
One Crew Handles Everything — No Subcontractors
Landscaping, hardscaping, irrigation, and concrete — all done by our own trained team. You get one point of contact, one schedule, and one company accountable for the finished result.
Waterfront & Sloped Lot Specialists
Most landscapers avoid the tricky stuff. We specialize in it — erosion control, drainage solutions, shoreline grading, and tiered retaining walls on the challenging lots other companies won't touch.

What We Do
Complete Outdoor Services for Lake Norman Homeowners
From first concept to final installation — every aspect of your outdoor transformation under one roof.
Landscaping
Your Cornelius yard is fighting clay soil, summer humidity, and Lake Norman's unique waterfront conditions — and generic lawn care won't cut it. We design and install landscapes built specifically for this climate, from drought-tolerant native plantings to lush custom garden beds.
Hardscaping
A paver patio or retaining wall is only as good as what's underneath it — and on Cornelius's sloped, clay-heavy lots, the base work is everything. We engineer every hardscape project for drainage, load-bearing stability, and longevity so your investment holds up.
Irrigation
Hand-watering a Cornelius yard isn't just tedious — it's uneven, wasteful, and leaves your investment vulnerable to drought stress. We design custom irrigation systems zoned to your property's exact sun exposure, soil type, and plant needs.
Concrete
Concrete work lives or dies on proper base preparation — and in Cornelius's expansive clay soil, shortcuts mean cracking, settling, and costly repairs within a few years. We excavate, compact, and pour to spec on every project.
Our Specialties
What We're Known For
The services Cornelius and Lake Norman homeowners call us for most.
Landscape Design & Installation
We assess your soil, drainage, sun exposure, and HOA requirements before recommending a single plant, then design a landscape that fits your home's architecture and your lifestyle. Proper bed prep, soil amendment, and irrigation integration included.

We handle full excavation, gravel base compaction, edge restraints, and professional joint sanding so your patio doesn't shift, sink, or grow weeds through the cracks in year two. Natural stone, concrete pavers, and permeable options available.
Learn more about Paver Patio Installation →Irrigation System Design & Installation
We zone your system to your property's exact conditions with a smart controller that reads local weather and skips cycles when rain is coming. Includes backflow prevention to Cornelius code, full coverage testing, and a walkthrough before we leave.
Learn more about Irrigation System Design & Installation →Retaining Walls
We design walls to engineering specifications based on soil weight, wall height, and drainage load — and incorporate proper drainage tile behind walls over four feet to eliminate hydrostatic pressure, the number one cause of wall failure.
Learn more about Retaining Walls →Outdoor Kitchens & Fire Features
We design and install complete outdoor kitchen setups including built-in grills, refrigeration, sinks, stone countertops, and gas line hookup coordination. Fire pits and fireplaces built from natural or manufactured stone in configurations sized to your patio.
