Restoring Coastal Beauty After the Storm

We’re proud to highlight one of our most rewarding transformations to date: a complete backyard remodel for a beachfront residence that had suffered extensive hurricane damage. This project is a testament to our team’s ability to not only restore what was lost, but to elevate the landscape with thoughtful design and lasting protection.

Rebuilding from the Ground Up

When we were brought on, the property’s outdoor space had been severely impacted by storm conditions. Our team completely reimagined the area, starting with debris removal and erosion control measures. We rebuilt the entire backyard from the ground up by installing new hardscapes, fresh landscaping, and functional outdoor features that enhance the beauty and usability of the space.

Elegant Mediterranean-style house with arched windows, palm trees, and a paved driveway. Lush greenery surrounds the property under a clear blue sky.

A serene beach with clear blue skies, vibrant plants, and a sandy path leading to the ocean, bordered by rock formations.

Custom Turf, Dune Creation, and Coastal Protection

One of the highlights of this project is the custom golf hole, finished with high-performance turf designed for both play and aesthetics. To further protect the property, we created a dune system that blends naturally into the environment while providing vital erosion control. These additions ensure the landscape is both enjoyable and resilient, built to withstand future storms.

A Stairway to the Shoreline

To complete the coastal experience, we installed a custom-designed stairway that leads directly from the backyard to the beach. This feature not only enhances accessibility but also provides a visual anchor for the entire space, connecting the home to its surroundings in a way that feels effortless and intentional.

The Arbor Difference

This project reflects our passion for creating coastal landscapes that are as functional as they are beautiful. From storm recovery to premium design, we’re proud to help homeowners reclaim and reimagine their outdoor spaces with care, creativity, and attention to detail.
