An Award-Winning Outdoor Oasis by Your Trusted Outdoor Living Space Contractor
As your trusted outdoor living space contractor, Carrington Lawn & Landscape is thrilled to share this residential project, a stunning outdoor transformation that combines modern aesthetics with year-round functionality. This multi-phase project impressed homeowners and national associations alike, earning accolades such as an honorable mention for Remodeler of the Year from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) and a Unilock Award of Excellence. Located in a vibrant Verona neighborhood, this project is a testament to our dedication to craftsmanship, design, and creating outdoor spaces that inspire.
From Vision to Reality: The Project Overview
This project is a showcase of modern landscaping at its finest. Our team worked as the outdoor living space general contractor, managing the layout and coordination of all elements, including a sleek pool surround, an inviting patio, and an all-season outdoor kitchen under a striking overhead structure.
The design integrates geometric precision with functional elegance, featuring clean lines and a cohesive palette of materials that tie the entire space together. Every element, from the gradient-gray pavers to the black trellis structures, was chosen to reflect the client’s vision of contemporary luxury. The outdoor kitchen is a focal point, offering not just functionality but also a stylish gathering spot sheltered by an architecturally distinctive roof. Lighting and plantings add depth and warmth, creating a versatile space that transitions effortlessly from day to night. By combining innovation and craftsmanship, this project exemplifies the possibilities of modern outdoor living.
Meet the Client and Their Vision
This project came to us through a referral from a past client and realtor who were impressed with our design abilities, attention to detail, communication, and follow-through on quality construction. With these attributes in mind, the client trusted us to bring their vision of a modern, functional outdoor space to life. They envisioned blending sleek aesthetics with year-round usability, and our team was ready to deliver. This long-term collaboration, spanning multiple carefully planned phases, allowed us to build a strong relationship and ensure every aspect of the project exceeded their expectations.
Design Elements That Shine
- Hardscape Mastery: Using Unilock’s SiennaEdge™ wall block and Umbriano™ pavers, we created clean lines and subtle gradient grays that enhance the property’s contemporary feel.
- Striking Structures: Black wood, metal, and composite materials, paired with elegant trellis designs and turnbuckle details, define and elevate the outdoor dining and cooking spaces.
- Timeless Plantings: A perennial-heavy palette with massed, repetitive forms adds order and complements the geometric hardscape.
- Illuminating the Night: Discreet black lighting fixtures extend the usability of the space while maintaining the modern aesthetic.
Challenges Turned Into Opportunities
Every great project has its hurdles, and this project was no exception:
- Pool Integration: Delays with the pool contractor required flexibility in scheduling. To seamlessly integrate the pavers with the pool edge, we used a poured concrete base, ensuring precision and durability without compromising the pool’s integrity.
- Navigating Grade Changes: Minor grade adjustments were addressed with retaining walls that combined functionality with a cohesive design.
- Innovative Material Use: Incorporating a new wall material presented opportunities to refine our techniques, achieving both structural soundness and a sleek finish.
The Stunning Result
These clients got much more than a backyard—this project is a lifestyle upgrade. The segmented retaining walls, lush plantings, and seamlessly integrated features create a space that’s as functional as it is beautiful. From daytime relaxation by the pool to evening gatherings under the illuminated structures, this outdoor oasis truly has it all.
