Vision. Clarity. Confidence.

An outdoor space should feel
part of the home.

The pool, the terrace, the planting. The view from inside and the way you move through the garden. Each decision belongs to a larger vision.

B&D brings that vision into focus for private residences in Charlotte and Lake Norman, pairing conceptual design with pricing coordination and a considered installer handoff.

A considered path

One vision.
Every decision connected.

Three connected areas of service, tailored to your property and the stage of your project.

01 / The vision

Design the whole experience.

Conceptual design direction helps you see how the outdoor spaces can work together and feel like a natural extension of home.

  • Pool and outdoor living concepts
  • Terrace and landscape direction
  • Visuals shaped around your priorities
02 / The plan

Bring the investment into focus.

Coordinate scope and pricing conversations so the proposed work, assumptions and open questions are easier to follow.

  • Project priorities and scope review
  • Pricing coordination
  • Decision points and next steps
03 / The connection

Connect vision with execution.

When it is time, connect the vision with an appropriate installer and help organize the agreed project handoff.

  • Installer introductions when appropriate
  • Agreed design package and handoff
  • Clear roles for the next phase
One standard of care

Personal by nature.
Local by intention.

Our focus is close to home: Charlotte, Lake Norman and select surrounding communities. Engagements begin primarily through personal referrals and introductions from project partners.

01

For homeowners

A thoughtful starting point for a pool, terrace, garden or complete outdoor living vision—with the important choices made easier to see.

02

For builders & installers

Conceptual design and early planning support that gives clients a clearer view of the work before pricing and installation progress.

A direct design conversation

05 / HANDOFF

For project partners

A clearer starting point for your client.

When a homeowner needs to make sense of the outdoor vision before construction planning can advance, B&D can help translate the possibilities into a more organized conversation.

We coordinate with the project team around agreed scope, communicate directly with the client, and make the transition into an installer’s process easier to follow.

Clear roles, from the startThe proposal defines deliverables, revisions, fees, partner compensation where applicable, and handoff responsibilities before the engagement begins.
A private introduction

Every considered space
starts with a conversation.
