RK Preferred designs and builds full backyards, outdoor kitchens, fire features and lighting for homes in Weddington and Marvin, about 6 and 9 miles from our Indian Trail yard.

With more room to work with, the design matters more. Where the terrace sits relative to the house and the view, how the lawn steps down and how the yard reads at night are what a 3D render is for.

Many neighborhoods here have an architectural review. Your scaled plan and render are the drawings most review committees ask to see.

Weddington and Marvin are in Union County, NC.

Projects we build here

Full backyards are the norm: a paver terrace, an outdoor kitchen, a fire pit or fireplace and a pergola, designed together. Larger properties also get landscape lighting that carries from the terrace out into the trees.

Larger lots, full designs

Properties in Weddington and Marvin tend to be large, with mature trees and homes with a lot of architectural detail. That gives the design more to work with: where the terrace sits against the view, how the lawn steps down, and how the yard reads at night.

Projects here are often a complete backyard built in one or two phases. Drawing the whole yard first keeps phase two from undoing phase one.

Neighborhood review

Many neighborhoods here have an architectural review committee or HOA. The scaled 2D plan and 3D rendering from your design are the kind of drawings those reviews usually ask for.

“The design team helped us create the backyard we could only imagine.”

Working with RK Landscaping was smooth and effortless. The design team helped us create the backyard we could only imagine. Once the project started, Hardy, Paulo and Marcelo did a great job of being timely and tidy. We are completely enjoying the transformation.

“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.

We highly recommend RK! They were very professional and did great work! We had a back patio installed with full landscaping in both our front and back yard. It was beautiful! Thanks so much Rob, Hardy & crew!

Rob works with you to make sure your objectives are well understood (and even offers good suggestions). The costs are clearly articulated ahead of the job. Workers are on time and respectful. The quality of the final product is excellent. Highly recommend. Will use again.

“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.

Questions from Weddington & Marvin

Do you work with HOA architectural review?

Your 2D plan and 3D rendering give the committee clear drawings to review. Rules vary by neighborhood.

Can a big project be built in phases?

Yes. The design covers the whole yard, and each phase is built to fit it.

Start with a visit to your property.
