"Joe and his team are the very best of the best. We tracked Maplehurst down after seeing some of their previous work. They're busy, because they're excellent, but always were worth the wait! They completely transformed our entire lot / site up at Hyco Lake in Semora, NC. They also dug out our basement and repaired a faulty foundation before adding french drains that now keep our house nice and dry. Can't recommend them enough. 10/10 happy with our outcome. They are at the top of our list anytime we need anything else done."
Jon Little
"Joe and his team at Maplehurst Outdoors completed an amazing landscape/hardscape at our new house on Hyco Lake. Attention to detail was above and beyond, Joe was always responsive when we had questions, no corners were cut anywhere on this project and his team was just amazing at what they do. We had very little input to the design and just let Joe and his team use their imagination to design something that is absolutely breathtaking. Thank you so much for helping to create such a stunning layout."

"Joe Wilkerson and his crew did a fantastic job for us. They removed an old overgrown swampy area next to our house on Hyco Lake and built a beautiful outdoor patio area. Joe is very responsive and dependable. I was particularly worried about drainage and washout under the patio, but they did a fantastic job of pre-planning and making sure the water drainage underneath and around the patio would ensure the stability of the area. We get compliments on the patio all the time, and most importantly, it was well done and well constructed. He and his crew were punctual, and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend Maplehurst and Joe Wilkerson."
