Fencing & Gates

Build privacy, define space, and stand up to coastal weather. We install and repair fences that look great and last, with hardware and finishes selected for salt air and storm season.

Styles & Materials

  • Wood privacy (cedar or pine): side-by-side, board-on-board, horizontal, shadow box

  • Ranch & field: split-rail, post-and-rail, no-climb/horse mesh, pipe + wire

  • Chain link: galvanized or black-vinyl coated, privacy slats optional

  • Ornamental/aluminum: coastal-friendly, low-maintenance curb appeal

  • Gates: walk, double-drive, rolling/cantilever; heavy-duty hinges & latches

Built Right for the Coast

  • Hot-dip galvanized or stainless fasteners & hardware

  • Concrete footings sized for wind uplift; posts set true and deep

  • Optional stain/seal packages to protect wood and even out color

Good Add-Ons

  • Trash-bin or AC enclosures • Pet runs • Gate automation • Stain/seal service

What You Get

  • Measured, line-by-line proposal with footage, hardware, and finishes

  • Clean site, haul-off included, and a final walkthrough before we call it done

Outdoor Living:
Kitchens, Pergolas & Patios

Shade you’ll actually sit under, surfaces that drain right, and a kitchen that keeps you outside with the crew. We design these elements together so the space works year-round.

Outdoor Kitchens

  • Layouts: straight, L-shape, U-shape, island with bar seating

  • Frames & Finishes: steel or treated framing with concrete board; stucco, brick, stone, tile, or composite cladding

  • Tops: concrete, granite, quartzite, or porcelain/slab

  • Appliances: grills (gas/charcoal/pellet), flat-tops, side burners, smokers, pizza ovens, sinks, fridges, icemakers, kegerators

  • Utilities: gas/LP routing, electrical circuits, water/drain, task & ambient lighting

  • Build Details: proper venting for gas appliances, heat-shields at combustibles, weather-tight storage, and GFCI protection where required

Pergolas (and Shade Options)

  • Materials: cedar, powder-coated aluminum, or composite

  • Roofs: open lattice/purlins, polycarbonate, or insulated aluminum panels

  • Upgrades: integrated lights/fans, privacy screens, curtains, trellises

  • Foundations: footings sized for wind loads; concealed anchors for a clean look

Patios & Hardscape

  • Surfaces: broom or salt-finish concrete, stamped/decorative concrete, pavers, travertine, natural stone

  • Drainage & Grading: correct pitch, channel/French drains where needed

  • Detailing: polymeric sand, sealing, and movement joints for longevity

Add-Ons & Structures (Playsets, Privacy, Comfort)

  • Outdoor Playsets: installation of quality pre-fabricated sets or custom builds; proper anchoring and recommended safety surfacing (mulch/rubber) and clear fall zones

  • Privacy Screening: louvered panels, decorative privacy walls, lattice/trellis with vines, vertical gardens, wind screens, and shade sails

  • Comfort & Hosting: built-in benches/seat walls, planters, railing, heaters, fans, misting systems, fire pits/fireplaces, and step/edge lighting

Outcome

  • A cohesive, coastal-ready space: cook, lounge, and entertain with shade, airflow, and drainage dialed in—plus privacy and kid-friendly play areas where you want them.

Landscape Lighting (Year-Round)
& Holiday Lighting (Seasonal)

Landscape Lighting — safer paths, prettier nights.
We design low-voltage LED systems that highlight architecture and landscaping while keeping energy use low.

Design & Components

  • Path, step, deck, and bollard lights • Up-lights for trees & façades • Down-lights for moon-glow effects

  • Coastal-tough fixtures (brass/aluminum), buried conduit where appropriate

  • Smart timers, zones, and dimming; app or switch control

Service

  • Night-aiming and fine-tuning after dark so it looks perfect

  • Maintenance plans for seasonal checkups and bulb/driver replacements

Holiday Lighting — stress-free sparkle, start-to-finish.
Custom-cut professional LED (C9/C7/RGB) for rooflines, ridges, peaks, trees, and entry features—plus wreaths and garlands.

How It Works

  1. Design & Quote: color/style mockup and all-in pricing

  2. Install: safe, ladder-free for you, property-friendly clips and methods

  3. Season Support: bulb swaps and fixes if something goes out

  4. Take-Down: scheduled removal and optional off-season storage

Options

  • Warm white or color-changing RGB • Timers & smart control • Ground displays and tree wraps
