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.
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.
Listed roughly in order of how often they fit Terrell properties. All work is done by our own crew.

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.
A sloped yard our crew completed in Terrell: a large river-rock bed covering the slope beside a stone retaining wall, with an existing mature tree kept in place and the lawn edge left clean.

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.
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.
