Process

From the first walk to the first swim.

The same five steps our family has used on every Lowcountry project since 2015, now with a pool at the center.

Material samples and a site plan
  1. 01

    Walk the property

    We meet you at home, walk the yard together and listen: how you want to use it, who will be there, and what you want to spend. If several people are part of the decision, we ask everyone to be there.

  2. 02

    A clear, line-item proposal

    You get one written proposal that prices every part of the project on its own line, so you can see exactly where the money goes and adjust before you commit.

  3. 03

    Design and material selection

    We finish the drawings and pick materials together. Seeing pavers, stone and colors in person beats choosing from a brochure.

  4. 04

    The build

    One team builds the whole backyard. On day one we walk the plan with you again, so everyone is working from the same drawing.

  5. 05

    Final walkthrough and first swim

    We walk every detail together until you are happy. Then you get the keys to your new backyard.

What you can count on

Clear from the start.

Line-item pricing

Every part of the project is priced on its own line: the pool, the deck by the square foot, the walls by the foot, each light.

Everyone at the table

We ask everyone who has a say to join the first walk. It saves time and gets the plan right the first time.

Day-one walkthrough

Before the crew starts, we walk the drawing with you on site, so nothing is a surprise.

Signed off in writing

At the end, we walk every detail with you and close the project with a written completion of scope.
