Why the yard never gets done
Every spring you say this is the year, then summer is gone and the yard looks the same. Jake hands you the plan, the price and the start date.
It usually stalls because nobody will show you what it would look like or give you a straight number, so it stays a someday project. Jake draws the yard in 2D or 3D, so you see the patio, the wall and the planting before a shovel goes in, and the quote is free, so the only thing left to decide is when you want to be sitting out there.

- Free quote, and you see the design before you pay for anything.
- Design, hardscape, drainage and planting from one person, not four contractors.

Homes around the Sandhills
Everything a the Sandhills house needs from a landscaper.
Paver Patios
A patio sized for the table, the grill and everybody you invite, built on a base that keeps it flat for years.
Read more02Retaining Walls
Turn the slope you cannot use into flat, usable ground, with a wall that holds and looks like it belongs.
Read more03Landscape Design
See the whole yard in 2D or 3D before anything is dug, so you change the plan on paper and not in the dirt.
Read moreIrrigation and Lighting
Beds that water themselves and a yard you can actually use after dark, planned with everything else.
Drainage and Grading
Stop the puddles, the washouts and the water heading for the house by giving it somewhere better to go.
Planting and Sod
Fresh sod, clean beds and the right plants for the Sandhills, so the finished yard looks finished.
Gravel Driveways and Concrete
A driveway or slab that handles the trucks and the rain without turning into ruts and mud.
Tree Removal and Demo
Clear the old deck, the dead tree or the overgrown corner so the new yard has room to happen.

Before you call
Frequently asked questions.
The things people usually want to know before they let a landscaper in the door.
01Do you charge for a quote?
No. Call Jake, tell him what you want to do with the yard, and he will come look at it and put together a free quote. You know the number before any work starts.
02Can I see the design before you build it?
Yes. Jake does 2D and 3D landscape design, so you can see where the patio, the walls and the planting go before a single paver is laid, and change it while it is still just a drawing.
03What areas do you cover?
Gorilla Outdoor Design is based in West End and works all over Moore County, including Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Whispering Pines, Carthage, Aberdeen, Jackson Springs, and West End and Seven Lakes. Anywhere in Moore County, call Jake.
04Do you do the whole yard or just one piece?
Either. Some people start with one patio or one wall, and some want the full design and build: hardscape, irrigation, lighting and planting together. Jake can plan it so the first piece fits the rest later.
05What kind of projects do you take on?
Paver patios, retaining walls, 2D and 3D landscape design, irrigation, lighting, drainage and grading, sod and planting, gravel driveways, concrete, tree removal and demo, for homes around the Sandhills.
06I do not know what I want yet. Should I still call?
Yes, that is the best time to call. A lot of people just know the yard is not working: a slope they cannot use, a bare patch, nowhere to sit. Working out the plan is part of the job.
Tell him what you want the yard to be and he’ll draw it up and quote it free.
