Consultant Comments

Greenway was honored to guide and consult these homeowners—both lawyers—through the consultation, design, and installation phases. Richard, the husband, appreciated Alex Lawn’s honest and direct approach, stating, "Alex was not afraid to give us his opinion. If he had a better idea, he wasn’t shy about sharing it. In our business, we tell clients what we really think because that’s how you best serve them!"

Greenway’s suggestions resulted in stunning backyard patios, stairs, and pathways featuring modern Belgard Pavers in White-to-Tan hues, framed beautifully with charcoal paver edging that tied into their new pool coping. The wife was thrilled, noting, "Greenway suggested using darker pavers for the pool coping and edging, and it really makes the rest of our new patio POP!"

The integration of American Made Artificial Turf served a dual purpose—reducing irrigation and maintenance needs while providing a safe, odor-free play area for their dogs. Installed over permeable base materials with antibacterial Bio-Pet Sand infill, the artificial turf ensured no bacteria, no smells, and endless enjoyment. The wife raved, "I'm so in love! I walk out into my backyard now and it's clean & beautiful—it looks amazing all the time. Our dogs have so much fun with their multiple lawns, and watching them play is my favorite thing!"

The project was completed on time and within budget, and perfectly ready for their upcoming family gathering!

Key Design Considerations

During the design and installation process, Greenway focused on several key factors to ensure the project met both aesthetic and functional needs:

• Material Selection & Cohesion – The use of modern Belgard Pavers in White-to-Tan hues with charcoal edging ensured a clean, high-end, and cohesive look across all outdoor spaces.
• Efficient Use of Space – The placement of the putting green, stepper pathways, and designated play areas maximized usability while maintaining an open and elegant layout.
• Low-Maintenance Landscaping – Incorporating artificial turf with antibacterial Bio-Pet Sand infill provided a safe, durable, and hassle-free solution for the homeowners and their pets.
• Lighting & Safety Enhancements – Thoughtful placement of contrasting paver edging, stepper pathways, and step lighting improved safety and visual appeal, particularly around high-traffic areas.
• Timely Execution – With a strict deadline for their family gathering, Greenway’s structured project management ensured seamless coordination and on-time completion without compromising quality.

By focusing on these key design elements, Greenway successfully delivered a sophisticated and functional outdoor transformation that exceeded client expectations and provided long-lasting enjoyment for both family and pets.
