Luxury Lake Murray Outdoor Living, Designed for the Water
Screened porches, multi-level decks, covered patios, outdoor kitchens, glass railings and shoreline work — designed and built for the slopes, sun and setbacks of Lake Murray.
Sloped lots, saturated red clay and wave action at the bank change how a structure has to be built. We size footings, terrace grades and detail drainage for shoreline conditions rather than for a flat suburban backyard.
Views designed from a seated position
Deck height, railing type and beam placement decide whether you see the water from a chair or see a picket rail. We plan elevations and sightlines around where you'll actually be sitting.
One builder for the whole exterior
Porch, deck, patio, kitchen, railings, retaining wall and seawall under one contract and one crew. No coordinating four trades who each blame the other for the elevation that doesn't meet.
What we build on the lake
Every structure below is built in-house, and most of our lake projects combine several of them into a single connected exterior.
A great deck on a failing bank is a temporary deck. Before we frame anything on a lake lot we look at where water goes, how the bank is holding, and what has to be stabilized first — then build the outdoor living space on top of ground that will still be there in twenty years.
Retaining walls and terracing engineered for steep, eroding banks
Seawalls and shoreline stabilization coordinated with required approvals
Multi-level stair systems from the house down to the yard or dock area
Drainage and erosion control so runoff doesn't undercut new construction
Setback-aware layouts that respect shoreline buffers and permitting rules
Lake Murray neighborhoods we work in
