Outdoor Living - Luxury Pool - Landscape Design and Consultations for the Greater Charlotte and Surrounding Areas
A beautiful outdoor space starts with a plan that works for your property, your priorities, and your budget. I’m Eric Zackaroff, The Landscape Design Guy. I bring 30 years of design and construction experience to outdoor living, poolside spaces, and landscapes across the Charlotte region.
Whether you plan to hire an installer, tackle part of the project yourself, or build in stages,
I’ll help you make the key decisions before construction begins because.....
"Failure to plan is planning to fail."
Outdoor Living, Poolside and Landscape Design Portfolio
This portfolio features landscape, outdoor living, and pool designs by Eric Zackaroff, owner of The Landscape Design Guy LLC, based in Cramerton, North Carolina.
Every property brings different opportunities and constraints. Browse examples of patios, poolside spaces, planting, lighting, and outdoor features I’ve designed. Finished installations and design concepts are labeled so you can see what each image represents.
Installation credits are shown where applicable.
