Low-maintenance, salt-tolerant landscaping, hardscape, decks, lighting, and outdoor carpentry for cottages and rentals across Folly Beach. Veteran owned, easy-care by design, and backed by a satisfaction guarantee on every project.
Folly Beach is a laid-back beach town of cottages and short-term rentals, and the yards here should match that feel. Owners want easy-care landscaping that still looks sharp, not a high-upkeep garden that needs babysitting between trips and guests. CHS Contracting handles the whole outdoor project from one company, with plant choices and hardscape picked for low maintenance and beach-town durability.
From the cottages just off Center Street to the homes spread across East Folly, West Folly, and out toward Little Oak Island, we install landscapes that hold up to sandy soil, high sun, and steady wind off the water. That means salt-tolerant, low-maintenance native beds, amended planting so roots can hold in sand, beach-hardy color where it counts, and drainage that keeps low lots from staying wet after a downpour.
Whether you want an easy-care front bed that frames a Sunset Point cottage, a backyard deck and pergola that makes a rental listing pop, or a full landscape package on a new build, we scope it, design it, and build it. Every project comes with a satisfaction guarantee, and estimates are always free.

Folly Beach sits at the south end of Folly Island between the Atlantic and the Folly River, and the beach-town setting shapes how every yard here should be built.
The soil is sandy and the lots are exposed. Strong sun and steady wind off the water dry beds out and burn back anything tender, so we amend planting beds to give roots something to hold and lean on salt-tolerant, low-maintenance material like palmetto, sea oats, and beach-hardy perennials and color. We place the toughest plants on the windward side and keep the softer material where the cottage or a fence gives it some shelter, so the landscape fills in and stays full through a hot, breezy season.
Water is the other half of the job. A lot of Folly lots sit low, so we grade and install drainage that moves water off the property and keeps beds and patios from staying soggy after a downpour. Because so many homes here are short-term rentals, we also build with appeal in mind, adding decks, pergolas, and clean hardscape that photograph well and give guests a place to gather. From Center Street out to Sunset Point, the goal is the same. An easy-care yard that still looks sharp.
Yes. That is most of what we do here. Folly is a town of cottages and rentals, and owners want a yard that still looks sharp without weekend upkeep. We design with hardy native beds, palmetto, sea oats, and beach-hardy color, plus the right hardscape, so the property looks finished and takes care of itself between visits and guests.

Folly soil is sandy, drains fast, and holds little, and the lots get strong sun and steady wind off the water. We amend planting beds so roots have something to hold, choose salt-tolerant material that handles the exposure, and place tougher plants on the windward side. The result is beds that fill in and stay full instead of drying out or burning back after a hot, breezy stretch.
Yes. Outdoor carpentry is a strong return on a short-term rental. We build decks, pergolas, fences, and arbors that give guests a place to gather and make the listing photos pop, all built to handle Folly's salt, sun, and wind. We also handle drainage on low lots so the yard and the new structure stay dry after a beach-town downpour.
