Design & Installation in Wilmington, NC

About twenty minutes from our Leland showroom, over the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge.

Design and installation across Wilmington means coordinating with whatever is already on site, and often with whoever is already working on it. We handle consultation, 3D design, and installation, and we keep supporting the project after it is finished. Twenty minutes from our door covers most of the city.

Great outdoor spaces take more than great products. We provide expert guidance, professional installation, and ongoing support from the first conversation through the finished project. From a simple grill upgrade to a fully customized outdoor living space, every project receives the same attention to detail and commitment to quality. We work with homeowners, builders, contractors, and designers throughout southeastern North Carolina and partner with experienced hardscape professionals to bring custom masonry outdoor kitchens to life.

About Wilmington

Wilmington is a short hop over the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge from our Leland showroom, and it is where a lot of our installation work happens. The housing stock varies enormously here, from historic downtown lots with tight access to the newer builds out toward Mayfaire and Autumn Hall. That range is the interesting part.

Common questions

Do you work on historic downtown Wilmington homes?

Yes. Older downtown properties usually mean tighter access, existing masonry to work around, and sometimes a courtyard rather than an open yard. Those constraints shape the design, so we would rather see the space in person early than design something on paper that cannot get through the gate.

Jeff, owner of What the Grill, did a nice job of consulting with us to help us design our outdoor kitchen. We are extremely pleased with the outcome. So far, I’ve cooked appetizers before dinner (we ate dinner out with friends) and this morning I cooked breakfast outside. The Primo ceramic grill is wonderful.
