Projects we build in Waxhaw

Most projects start with grading and drainage on a new lot, then a paver patio off the back door, a pergola or fire pit, and sod and a full planting plan to finish a bare yard.

New construction yards

Many homes here are recent builds: compacted fill, thin topsoil and grading that can send water toward the house. We fix the ground first, then build the patio, kitchen or planting on top of it.

First backyard build-outs are common: a paver patio off the back door, a pergola or fire pit, and planting to soften a bare lot.

“He was friendly and spent time in my yard with me, discussing observations and options.”
Our French drain project was completed yesterday and we couldn’t be happier with RK Preferred. Rob was quick to respond to my initial quote request. He was friendly and spent time in my yard with me, discussing observations and options. Hardy was great with communication, including when rain pushed our project back. The two guys who did our work were friendly, informative, and careful.

“The communication from beginning to end was excellent and much appreciated.”
RK Preferred did an amazing job transforming my backyard. The sod and stone installation was exactly what I wanted. The guys were very professional and cleaned up after all work was completed. The communication from beginning to end was excellent and much appreciated. I would highly recommend RK Preferred and will absolutely use them again.
