Numerous homeowners in Fort Mill, SC face a common issue: ineffective drainage and red clay soil. In this highlighted project, the team at CLT Pros converted a backyard that was nearly unusable during wet weather into a luxurious, easy-to-maintain oasis. The video above showcases the entire process, from the initial grading and groundwork to the final, refined results. Our philosophy is Strength You Can Build On, emphasizing the importance of your land’s structural integrity before we install any turf.
Project Breakdown: The Anatomy of a Transformation
- Solving the Water Crisis (Drainage & Grading): The foundation of every great yard is what you don’t see. We installed a high-capacity French drain system and executed strategic site grading to ensure water moves away from the home and the living areas. No more standing water, no more soggy paws.
- Modern Hardscaping & Functionality: We replaced dirt paths with a custom mud-free paver walkway and a reinforced concrete grill pad. These additions create a seamless transition from the back door to the outdoor dining area, making the space perfect for hosting.
- The “Evergreen” Advantage: Artificial Turf: To eliminate mowing and mud forever, we installed premium, zero-mow artificial turf. It provides a lush, vibrant green look 365 days a year, regardless of the scorching South Carolina summer heat.
- Privacy & Custom Carpentry: Our team built a custom privacy fence featuring a modern horizontal-slat gate. This design provides a contemporary aesthetic while ensuring the backyard feels like a private retreat from the neighbors.
