Backyard Builders Decks and Outdoor Living, a custom deck and outdoor living contractor based in Lyman, South Carolina, has reached its tenth year in business after completing more than 1,000 residential projects across the Upstate since 2015. The company, owned by Jason White, reports a 5.0-star Google rating built over that decade of work in Spartanburg County and the surrounding region.
The milestone reflects a decade focused primarily on custom deck construction, which has remained the core of the business as its broader outdoor living services developed around it. Over that period the company has built decks for homeowners throughout the Upstate while adding patios, pergolas, screened porches, and fencing to its scope of work.

Much of that work has involved replacing and rebuilding aging decks as well as new construction, reflecting demand among Upstate homeowners for low-maintenance outdoor space suited to South Carolina's climate. Composite and wood remain the two primary material paths the company builds in, each chosen to fit how a household uses the deck and how much upkeep a homeowner prefers.
Backyard Builders builds residential decks in a range of configurations, including platform, raised, multi-level, freestanding, and pool-side designs. Decking materials extend from pressure-treated and exotic hardwoods to composite and PVC, with Trex and TimberTech by Azek among the supporting product lines, and framing is done in wood, steel, aluminum, and composite depending on the design.
Each project follows a defined process that begins with a design consultation and moves through 3D modeling and 2D floor plans, permitting, foundation and framing work, and finish construction. The company also handles deck rebuilds, replacements, and additions, and it runs a maintenance program covering cleaning, sealing, staining, refinishing, and restoration for existing decks weathered by the region's humidity and pollen cycles.
The company holds TimberTech Silver installer status, a manufacturer credential tied to the composite decking brand. It structures warranty coverage by material, providing a one-year craftsmanship warranty on wood and a three-year warranty on composite and alternative materials, alongside the manufacturer warranties carried by the products it installs.
Jason White, owner of Backyard Builders Decks and Outdoor Living, said the company's approach has stayed consistent since it began. "I stay involved from the first design conversation through the final walkthrough, so the same standard carries through every stage of the build," White said. "Reaching ten years and more than a thousand projects came from handling each deck that way."
Around its deck work, the company builds the features that complete an outdoor space. Railing systems are offered in wood, composite, aluminum, and cable styles, and the company installs deck and landscape lighting, pergolas in attached, freestanding, and gable styles, and gazebos in traditional and custom designs. Patios are built in concrete and stamped concrete, and the space beneath raised decks is finished with skirting and underdeck systems that can create dry storage or added usable area.
Backyard Builders also installs and services residential and farm fencing, including privacy, wood, chain-link, and aluminum fences, along with gate installation, maintenance, and fence repair. Those services operate alongside the company's new-construction work rather than in place of it, keeping deck building at the center of its operations.
White said the company intends to keep that focus as it moves into its second decade. "The plan is the same work, done the same way, for the same homeowners across the Upstate," he said.
