SLC spent the first part of the week in Raleigh, NC tackling this nice little project for a great family!
Check out our step by step process ⬇️⬇️⬇️
We removed the old grass and top-dressed the red clay with quality topsoil —most people skip this and end up with poor rooting later. The grade work performed also sets the foundation (literally) for everything else, especially with drainage.
Using our famous VA cobblestone around the patio and gutters was a step in the right direction. It’s not just aesthetically pleasing but it’ll really help control runoff, reduce mud splash, and prevent erosion over time. Pairing that with brown cypress mulch in the back adds contrast and keeps moisture in for any future plantings.
Bermuda sod which was used is a great call for our area in NC. It handles heat, foot traffic, and family use really well which we are sure it’ll be put to use for—as long as it gets plenty of sun, it’ll thrive and fill in nicely
