Outdoor Living
You take great pride in your home – you’ve probably spent countless hours decorating it and making sure it’s perfect for your family and entertaining your friends.
But what about your outdoor space?
Imagine having the same comfort you experience inside your home in the outdoors. The weather here in Alabama is beautiful, our winters are mild, and as a result, we have the perfect climate to enjoy outdoor comfort.
Have you ever considered expanding your living space to the outdoors? Turning your yard, patio, and porch into an outdoor living area can add a whole new dynamic to the enjoyment of your home. An outdoor living area is wonderful to enjoy family time and gatherings with friends.
The designers here at The Nelson Team are perfect for the job. Tell us your dream, and your budget, and let us do the rest. We design beautiful outdoor areas and would love to show you our portfolio.
Fireplaces
Installed for their warmth as well as their ambience, outdoor fireplaces turn patios and backyards into cozy outdoor living spaces. Fireplaces often become the design anchor of expanding your outdoor living space. We install a variety of fireplaces that burn wood or are gas fired.
Fire Pits
Fire pits are similar to fireplaces as they provide warmth and ambiance, however, can fit into smaller surroundings.
Outdoor Kitchens
An outdoor kitchen can bring indoor convenience to your outdoor living space. They’re great for entertaining family and friends. We install kitchens ranging from just a built in Bar-B-Q grill to complete kitchens with one or more grills, ovens, sinks, bars, refrigerators and storage cabinets. We use top of the line appliances and accessories such as Turbo, Lynx, Viking, Twin Eagles and Big Green Eggs.
Patios
The patio is the nucleus of any outdoor living space. We offer a variety of materials and textures for building your patio. Our landscape designers will help you to choose what size, shape, and style fit your needs and budget.
Retaining Walls
There are many types of retaining walls. Some are designed to hold soil on one side while freestanding on the other. Retaining walls are also used on level ground to raise outdoor living spaces above the surrounding area. They can also be used to elevate planting areas and at the same time be used as a sitting wall. Aesthetic, decorative, segmental, natural stone (of many kinds). Reinforced concrete block, poured-in-place and timber walls are just some types of walls. We can build retaining walls based on aesthetic, functional and/or structural needs.
Stone Edging
In laymen’s terms, edging presents a transition zone, whether to define a planting area, define a walkway or driveway edge or just defining the planting beds from your turf. Our design team can show you the different types of edging that we offer.

Paving
Our design team will help choose the right paver for your project!
Permeable Pavers
Basic in form, with a clean, modular shape, permeable pavers are an attractive, yet practical choice, easily adaptable to a wide range of design options. Strength and durability are combined with environmental compatibility, reducing water run-off, and ADA compliance for Floor or Ground Surface standards.
Cobblestone
Recalling the narrow, cobbled streets of Europe, these pavers are crafted with a natural stone cleft finish for the look and feel of time-worn cut stone. Strong and durable, cobblestone is perfect for high-traffic areas and offers a wide range of both color and pattern potential.
Peacock Pavers
Peacock Pavers are remarkable replications of Old World stone that can be used indoors and out. Handcrafted in architectural-grade concrete, they possess the beauty and texture of ancient crosscut Italian travertine, yet they’re surprisingly affordable and offer far more design versatility.
Perfect for new construction, remodeling projects and landscaping, they lend distinction to floors, terraces, fireplace facings, swimming pools, pool decking, water features, driveways and more. Trim pieces are available to add those finishing touches.
Brick Pavers
Unlike clay bricks, Brick Pavers have a long life and are very durable to high traffic areas.
Paver Repair
The Nelson Team can properly repair what the “other guy” tried to fix. We at The Nelson Team use a product called polymeric sand. This sand sets up like mortar but is flexible and does not crack or come out because of frost heave.
Interlocking Concrete Pavers
Interlocking concrete pavers is a method for installing pavers so that pressure is pushing on each paver from all sides. This insures that the paver is locked in where it cannot move. Here at The Nelson Team, we understand this interlocking concept and are trained extensively for this type of installation. You can choose any type of concrete paver in which to interlock.
