Fuquay Fantasy

This large back yard in Fuquay Varina, NC was the perfect setting to create an outdoor living area for entertaining family and friends in the great outdoors. Starting with a screen room and upper grilling deck directly off of the home, our clients can enjoy all seasons with no interference from mosquitos and other pests. When the party really gets going, the large lower deck with custom railing provides amply room to sprawl out with 40 of their closest friends. We also created a lower paver patio off of the lower deck bringing the rear lawn into the living space.

Italian Outdoors

Creating an inviting 2 story structure to overlook an inground saltwater pool was a dream for these clients. After working with our design team and an architect, the vision was born. This plan was devised to take a plain rear wall of the home and incorporating a lower level covered entertaining area and private sun deck on the upper level. The finishes had to match the interior as well as offer low maintenance. We added ‘Timbertech’ composite decking to both levels, fiberglass support columns, a clever blend of concrete and composite siding & trim materials, and powder coated wrought iron railing. The interior features stained tongue & groove ceilings, 5 piece crown moulding, recessed can lighting & ceiling fans, and an AV outdoor music system. To ensure that the ceiling below stays dry, CORE devised a hidden gutter system to channel all rainwater. This is an architectural feat that our homeowners have absolutely enjoyed presenting over the years and hope you enjoy it too.

Jamison Gem

When our customers approached us, they really wanted to enjoy the great outdoors throughout the entire year. Their deck was a great space for outdoor entertaining but needed an outdoor room. We created a 3 season room complete with: ‘PGT Vertical 4 track’ windows and doors, slate tile flooring, gas fireplace insert with custom fireplace surround, tongue & groove ceiling with skylights, and ceiling fan. The outdoor patio is a nice place to grill out and sit around the lower landscape.

Raleigh Landscape

This small rear lawn began with a small deck off of the home. As we began to expand the master plan, retaining walls, a cobblestone paver patio, and landscape beds were added to soften the landscape and terrace the dramatically sloping rear lawn. A specialty grilling station was created by constructing a custom western red cedar pergola complete with privacy wall. With the continued desire in mind for a low maintenance lawn, the deck was resurfaced using ‘Timbertech’ composite decking and railing.

Redwood Pergola

This rear lawn was in need of some landscaping and our clients had a vision. They approached our landscape designer to construct the lawn of their dreams. The creation was a sprawling crab orchard stone patio and seating wall to wrap around the custom built redwood pergola.
