Terrell is a Catawba County community on the western shore of Lake Norman. Southern Style Turf & Design serves Terrell as a mobile business. We have no office there; we come to your property, walk it with you from the house down toward the water, and do the work with our own crew.

Many Terrell homes sit on lots that slope to the lake, so most of the work here combines drainage, grade and hardscaping into one plan.

Building on Slopes Toward the Lake

Lake-facing lots concentrate runoff. Rain from the roof, driveway and upper yard all heads downhill, and on red clay soil it moves fast during summer storms. Without a plan, that water undercuts patios, washes out beds and carries soil toward the shoreline.

Slopes also limit how usable the yard is. Retaining walls and terraced hardscaping can create level space for a patio or lawn, but only if drainage is built in behind and beneath them. We design the water path first, then the walls and patio around it.

Shoreline Work and Approvals

Work close to the Lake Norman shoreline may require approval from the lake's managing authority, Catawba County, or both. Requirements depend on exactly where and what the work is. We check what applies to your property before work starts and plan the project so it can be approved, rather than assuming.

Terrell Project Questions

Do you have an office in Terrell?

No. We're a mobile service-area business with no customer-facing office. We come to your Terrell property.

Do I need approval for work near the lake?

Possibly. Work near the shoreline may need approval from the lake's managing authority or Catawba County. We check requirements for your specific project before anything starts.

How do you keep a patio on a slope from washing out?

By handling the water first: diverting runoff above the patio, building on a compacted stone base, and using walls with drainage behind them where the grade drops. Our drainage page explains the approach, and the free Drainage Helper tool can help you describe the problem.
