Upscale Your Outdoors

Curb appeal is a phrase everyone who ever sells a home knows. It includes everything from the exterior of your home such as the paint job and chosen colors for trim to what you feature on your porch and patio, to the landscaping and features of your yard. If you’re not in the market to sell but simply want your home to reflect your tastes at a glance, a customized landscape is where your personality and lifestyle can really shine through.

Matt Sandberg, president of Carolina Custom Lawn and Landscape, understands. He specializes in developing complete, high-end, outdoor solutions for clients. Matt started Carolina Custom Lawn and Landscape with a vision seven years ago and today the staff numbers 14. Matt graduated magna cum laude in horticulture from N.C. State University. Because he’s been interested in all facets of this business ever since he was old enough to work, it was only natural he chose this route for his own professional venture.

“Carolina Custom Lawn and Landscape specializes in retrofitting landscapes to meet the wants and needs of clients, from seamless designs to outdoor living spaces and water features for clients seeking upscale landscaping,” Matt says. “We offer turnkey solutions to meet all the wants and needs of our customers.”

The process is as streamlined and consumer-friendly as possible, putting the focus on making the project go seamlessly for the client. How? A potential client calls. Matt provides a complimentary consultation to conduct an analysis at the residence. He sits down with the client to discuss the “wish list” of ideas. Next, he sets the wheels in motion to establish a strategy for the yard that incorporates his creativity and the client’s vision for the property.

Clients benefit not only from Matt’s expertise in the customization of upscale landscapes, but also from the crux of his business principles: “Customer service is key,” he says. “Constant communication is not an option, but is crucial in my business, particularly in the busy season.

Carolina Custom Lawn and Landscape is a complete outdoor service provider featuring landscape design and installation, landscape lighting, retaining and decorative walls, swimming pools, paver patios and driveways, fireplaces and firepits, arbors, screened porches, and elaborate waterfalls and ponds.

Locally, Matt says the trends for 2007 continue to be outdoor living spaces including kitchens, fireplaces, comfortable furniture, and nice lighting. “Basically, anything that people can have indoors they now want to have outdoors,” he says. A constant across the country, regardless of which area or price range, is more and more homeowners are asking for living spaces that continue beyond the walls of their homes, often with elaborate gardens and outdoor living spaces.

If you’re interested in giving your landscape a customized, upscale lift, Carolina Custom Lawn and Landscape can present you with infinite options and an expert staff to successfully guide you through the process.
