After purchasing an older home in the Montebello neighborhood of Charlotte, my wife and I met with several landscape architectural firms in the area to assist us in designing a $200,000 complete remodel of the pool and patio area including the addition of an outdoor fireplace, kitchen and raised cabana off the back of the pool area. We asked each firm to draw a conception that introduced new, modern features but also blended in with the 30+ year old stone work on the front of the home as well as the signature 20’ high x 8’ wide fireplace in the great room. Metro GreenScape’s design work far surpassed the other bidders and showed that they truly understood our vision and were the right “partner” for this project.
Throughout the project, Darin and his team at Metro GreenScape were extremely helpful in discussing options along the way that we hadn’t initially thought of on the project. Ideas including adding a high stone backsplash to the outdoor kitchen to hide view of the only home visible from the pool deck, as well as adding a high wall water feature to the pool coping that doubles as seating in front of the fireplace and includes a water feature viewable from the master bedroom. We were extremely impressed with the professionalism and ideas from the entire staff, from the job foreman to the guys doing the mortaring who came up with the idea to whittle the wood on the cabana and fencing to give it an aged, cabin look that fit in perfectly with the rest of the cedar home.
I would highly recommend anyone who is considering an outdoor living space project, big or small, to contact Metro Greenscape and see if they are the right partner for you.
