Backyard Design Ideas to Transform Your Outdoor Space in Charlotte, NC
You want to enjoy your backyard—but right now, it’s just not cutting it. Maybe it’s a patchy lawn, a poorly placed patio, or no shade when the sun is high. You’ve thought about updating your outdoor space, but it feels overwhelming, expensive, and hard to know where to start.

Outdoor design shouldn’t be trendy for the sake of it. Our work is timeless, functional, and infused with warmth—because we design for real life.
You’ll love our outdoor designs if you value:
- Family-friendly layouts that flow naturally
- Shady spots, cozy corners, and gathering spaces
- Thoughtful plantings and materials that elevate your home
- Integration with pools, spas, kitchens, and porches
Your Project is in Good Hands
Frequently Asked Questions
A professional design is the cornerstone of any successful landscape and exterior project. While it’s not necessary, it’s highly recommended as it not only ensures that your vision accurately translates into reality but it also addresses functional aspects such as space utilization, material compatibility, and aesthetic harmony.
The design phase can last anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks, largely depending on the complexity and the pace at which you make decisions. Each client’s decision-making process is unique. We work as quickly as you do, adapting our pace to meet yours while diligently respecting your timeline. Our commitment is to deliver detailed, quality designs without cutting corners, ensuring that every project reflects our standard of excellence. With our award-winning design team, you can rest assured that both your functional needs and aesthetic preferences are in expert hands.
To ensure the final design resonates with your vision, we include two comprehensive revisions in the design process. This approach allows us to refine and tweak the design based on your feedback, ensuring the final plan meets your expectations.
This can vary depending on what you are trying to achieve within your outdoor space. Our custom landscape and exterior designs typically range between $500 and $2500, depending on several key factors. These include the scale and scope of the project, as well as the complexity of the design.

Honest Reviews from Our Customers
From the first call to the final stone, our customers consistently tell us the same thing — it was worth every moment. See what Charlotte families are saying about their Ivy Creek experience.
I gave them 5 stars because they deserve 5. Highly recommend.
Project turned out way better than I ever anticipated. I truly felt like they were trying to impress me the whole time and I have been impressed since before we even started. I highly recommend giving these guys a chance, you won’t be disappointed.
The grading of our space being on a sloped yard was challenging to navigate in the initial building phases and Martin (our project manager) handled those complicated issues with knowledge, expertise, and patience. Although this and a rainy season created significant delays in finishing the project according to the original timeline, we were pleased with the end results and can say “it was definitely worth the wait!” The final result is beautiful, functional, and has already become our favorite place to unwind and spend time with family.
The project itself took about 6 weeks in total, but considering the strange weather, combined with a sloped yard, it was a reasonable timeframe. And the results speak for themselves.
Great work, Ivy Creek team!
This was a big project for us, and we were emotionally invested in this new chapter in our family/home experience. Ivy Creek absolutely delivered, and we are so proud of the showpiece we have for the rest of our time here. Well done!
From the very beginning, Branden (owner) was a pleasure to work with. He was professional, knowledgeable, and truly committed to ensuring that the project was designed and executed at the highest standard. His vision and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process.
Our project manager, Joe, was nothing short of phenomenal. He managed the project with impressive organization, clear communication, and genuine care for the quality of the final product. Joe consistently went above and beyond—keeping us informed, addressing every question, and making sure each element of the installation was completed. His dedication and professionalism made the entire experience smooth, efficient, and enjoyable.
The putting green turned out beautifully—expertly installed, functional, and fully integrated into our landscape. The travertine repairs around the pool were restored, polished and like-new condition. We couldn’t be happier with the craftsmanship and the finished result.
Ivy Creek Landscape has earned our full confidence and recommendation. Branden, Joe, and their team deliver outstanding quality, reliable service, and a level of customer care that truly sets them apart.
Sincerely,
Ted
