LYMAN, SC – July 29, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Backyard Builders Decks and Outdoor Living, a deck and outdoor living contractor based in Lyman, South Carolina, has completed more than 1,000 projects since the company was founded in 2015. The company announced the milestone as it continues custom deck and outdoor living construction for homeowners across the greater Greenville and Spartanburg region.
The 1,000-project figure spans a decade of work that began when owner Jason White renovated his own first home and neighbors and coworkers began asking him to take on their projects. What started as individual jobs grew into a full outdoor living operation, and in 2024 the company narrowed its focus toward custom deck and outdoor living construction. The milestone reflects that shift from general home improvement toward specialized deck work.
The company designs and builds custom decks tailored to each property, working in both composite and wood. Composite installations use products from manufacturers including Trex and TimberTech by Azek, selected for their resistance to fading and moisture in the region’s climate. These materials hold their appearance through repeated seasons of sun and humidity with limited upkeep. Wood decks are built from pressure-treated lumber, cedar, redwood, and exotic hardwoods such as Ipe, Tigerwood, and Cumaru, each offering its own grain, tone, and maintenance profile.
Deck styles range from platform, raised, multi-level, and freestanding designs to curved, cantilevered, covered, and pool and spa decks. The company also builds screened porches that extend the usable season by offering shade and protection from insects while keeping an open-air feel. For homeowners replacing aging structures, Backyard Builders Decks and Outdoor Living provides full deck rebuild and replacement work, shaping each project around the layout of the property and the way the household plans to use the space.
Each project begins with a design consultation and a three-dimensional model that lets homeowners review the layout and materials before construction begins. The company manages the full build, including foundation work, framing, construction, and permit acquisition. Because much of the Upstate sits on red clay soil that drains slowly, footings are sized to reach firm bearing, and the sustained heat and humidity of local summers factor into material selection and the flashing that protects the connection to the home. Attention to those regional conditions is part of why the company emphasizes planning and framing over speed.
Material choice has shifted over the past decade as more homeowners weigh long-term upkeep against upfront cost. Composite and PVC surfaces have become common in the Upstate because they resist the fading and moisture damage that heat and humidity can cause on untreated wood, while wood remains a frequent choice for its natural appearance and the ability to replace individual boards over time. The company reviews these trade-offs with homeowners during the design stage so material decisions match both the setting and the level of maintenance a household expects to take on.
Backyard Builders Decks and Outdoor Living is a member of the North American Deck and Railing Association. The company backs its work with a one-year craftsmanship warranty on wood decks and a three-year craftsmanship warranty on composite and alternative materials, along with the manufacturer warranties that apply to the products installed.
“Reaching more than a thousand projects comes down to building each one the right way, from the framing up,” said Jason White, owner of Backyard Builders Decks and Outdoor Living. “We would rather do it right than do it fast, and the homeowners we work with are the reason the company has grown the way it has. Every deck we build has to hold up to how a family actually uses it, season after season.”
The milestone comes as demand for low-maintenance outdoor living space continues across the Upstate, where composite and PVC materials have become common choices for their durability through hot, humid summers. The company expects deck and screened porch work to remain the core of its business as it builds on the 1,000-project mark, with a continued focus on custom construction rather than a broad range of general home improvement services.
