Back Yard Resorts is the pool and outdoor living line from the Barbieri family, the team behind Carolina Paver & Turf.
It started with Betty and Alan, two kids from Brooklyn who raised three children and always put family first. When Michael wanted to come back east from Seattle, where he had built a strong name in hardscape design, the family built a business around it.
Since 2015 they have laid pool decks, patios, walls and kitchens across Charleston and Hilton Head. Back Yard Resorts adds the pool at the center, built by people who already know what the ground around it needs.
Family and veteran owned, with offices in Mount Pleasant and Hilton Head Island.
