Landscape Design & Build in Coastal Carolina

The Art of Outdoor Living, Perfected

At Element Outdoor Living, we design and build the Coastal Carolina lifestyle. From the sandy soils of Wrightsville Beach to the oak-shaded neighborhoods of Wilmington, our landscape design in Wilmington is shaped by how people truly live here: outdoors, year-round, surrounded by salt air and sunshine..








Where Inspiration Becomes Outdoor Living

Every property has a story to tell. The right design brings it forward.

Your home deserves a landscape that feels connected to the environment: from the sandy soils near the water to the shaded, tree-lined neighborhoods inland. As Coastal Carolina’s luxury landscape designers and premier landscape installation company, we design with plant selections suited to the region’s climate and layouts that complement your home’s architecture, creating spaces that feel comfortable, resilient, and perfectly at home in their surroundings.

A Comprehensive Design & Build Process

Designing with purpose begins with understanding your lifestyle.

From your first 3D rendering to the final planting, every step is managed by our Coastal Carolina design-build team. Our design packages often include:


  • Property Master Plans that map the full layout of your landscape
  • Hardscape and Feature Layouts for patios, walkways, outdoor kitchens, and fire elements
  • Planting Plans designed for color, texture, and long-term growth in the coastal climate
  • 3D Renderings that let you preview your new landscape before construction begins

Enduring
Care

Your landscape will mature beautifully over time. We stay connected to help it thrive through every season.

My wife and I couldn’t be happier with our experience with Chris at Element, and we recommend him without reservation!  He listened to what we wanted in our design, added his own expert ideas, and then executed it flawlessly.  We weren’t able to be present during the work, but Chris was incredibly communicative during each day and provided frequent updates via text, phone calls, and even video chat.  The project came in precisely on budget, which reflects Chris’s knowledge and transparency. We have worked with numerous landscapers in the past, and Chris is easily the best.  We look forward to working with him again.

All I can say is AMAZING! From the initial design to the final install, Blair, Josh and the rest of the team made the process painless. They were very knowledgeable, professional, and their attention to detail is outstanding. I have nothing but positivity to spread about this company! The maintenance has done nothing but enhance the installs “wow factor” Element is the right company for your landscaping needs!

I interviewed 4 companies to install and maintain a new landscape plan designed by someone else. Element won hands down and they have proven to be such a good choice that they do all my maintenance and I turned over the design of phase 2 to them.  They are a delight to work with and when Blair designs he listens to your needs and wants and blends them in to an exceptional creative design. Everyone from the office to the maintenance crews are very professional, friendly, on time and skilled. If I could, I would give them 10 stars.

Element has maintained and enhanced my yard for the last few years.  They do an outstanding job of communicating and automating. They are consistent and hire above average workers.  They cost a bit more than average but they are exceptional in their service and expertise.
