Expert Landscaping & Outdoor Living Solutions in West Virginia and Beyond

At Backyard Escapes, we do more than design beautiful yards—we create functional, lasting outdoor environments tailored to your lifestyle. Our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to delivering high-quality craftsmanship and personalized service across every project.

Landscaping

Our landscaping services are tailored to enhance your property's natural beauty while meeting your functional needs. We provide complete solutions, including site analysis, 3D design planning, soil grading, turf and sod installation, planting beds, shrubbery, and seasonal color. Whether you’re starting from bare ground or refreshing a tired yard, we create thoughtful designs using climate-appropriate plants and sustainable practices. Our goal is to deliver a landscape that thrives all season long—and brings joy for years to come.

Hardscaping

Hardscaping provides structure and usability to your outdoor space. From elegant stone fire pits and outdoor kitchens to pergolas, garden walls, and built-in seating areas, we offer custom-built hardscape features that bring form and function together. Each structure is crafted with premium materials to withstand the elements and suit your style. Whether you're hosting guests, relaxing solo, or adding curb appeal, our hardscape installations serve as the foundation for outdoor living that feels like home.

Retaining Walls

Sloped yards, erosion, and poor drainage can create major challenges. That’s where our expertly crafted retaining walls come in. We design and build structurally sound walls using a variety of materials, including natural stacked stone, concrete blocks, and modern segmental systems. Our retaining walls not only provide stability and protection but also add definition, depth, and aesthetic value to your landscape. Whether you need a decorative garden wall or a multi-tiered solution, we’ll build it to last.

Pavers & Patios

Turn your outdoor space into a seamless extension of your home with custom paver patios and walkways. We work with a range of materials—natural stone, interlocking brick, and concrete pavers—to create surfaces that are both beautiful and built to endure. Whether you're envisioning a cozy patio for family dinners, a grand entrance walkway, or a durable driveway upgrade, we’ll bring your ideas to life with expert design and installation. All pavers are carefully set to ensure long-term durability and low maintenance.

Water Features

There’s nothing quite like the calming effect of water. Our custom water features are designed to create a peaceful, resort-like feel in your own backyard. We offer everything from small bubbling fountains and koi ponds to larger features like cascading waterfalls and stream beds. Every installation is designed with your landscape in mind to ensure a natural, integrated look. Whether you're aiming for modern elegance or rustic charm, we’ll craft a feature that adds movement, sound, and serenity to your outdoor environment.

Landscape Lighting

Elevate your property’s safety and ambiance with professionally installed landscape lighting. We offer custom lighting designs to highlight architectural features, illuminate pathways, and showcase gardens and focal points. From energy-efficient LED setups to automated smart lighting systems, we tailor every installation to match your landscape's design and your desired mood. Whether for function or flair, our lighting adds warmth, depth, and elegance—so you can enjoy your yard long after the sun goes down.

TESTIMONIALS

"Loved everything so far!"

"We had Backyard escapes install a mailbox and a sidewalk. They were professional and the work is very impressive. The mailbox added just the right touch to our landscaping and holds a ton of mail. Backyard Escapes are personable too—prayed for a situation we were having."

"Great customer service!"

Backyard Escapes has assisted in turning my outdoor space into my favorite place. They are up front and reasonably priced. Our first project was laying the foundation for a hot tub. They explained the pros and cons of pavers vs. concrete. They fixed 2 of my fences. and laid a beautiful dry rock bed. I highly recommend Backyard Escapes!

"My yard looks great!"

I called DeSean and he came the same day to give me an estimate. He came the next day & completed the work. He showed up on time, worked hard & my yard & shrubs look great!! His price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend DeSean “Coach Dee” and Backyard Escapes for your landscaping needs. I will definitely be a regular customer! Thank you, DeSean!
