From Backyard Dreams to Reality
If you’ve ever imagined transforming your backyard into a luxury retreat — complete with a shimmering pool, spa, or outdoor kitchen — you’ll want to meet Brandon Glover, founder of Ivy Creek Pools & Patios. Based in the Charlotte and Lake Norman area, Brandon’s team has earned a reputation for designing and building stunning, resort-style spaces that feel like a personal escape right outside your door.
It all started humbly. A Raleigh native and UNC Charlotte graduate, Brandon launched his business from the ground up — literally. “I was just a college kid who needed money,” he laughs. “I bought a chainsaw, borrowed my dad’s trailer, and started offering landscaping services on Nextdoor.”
What began as Ivy Creek Landscaping soon evolved into something much larger. As the projects grew, so did Brandon’s vision. The company transitioned from residential maintenance to high-end installations, ultimately specializing in custom pools, patios, and outdoor living spaces.
Today, Ivy Creek Pools & Patios is known for its attention to detail, functional design, and flawless execution — from first sketch to final splash.
Designing Your Backyard Oasis
Building a pool is no small project, but the Ivy Creek process makes it seamless. “We’re function-first,” says Brandon. “We start by understanding how you want to use your backyard — lounging, dining, entertaining — and then we design around that.”
Each project begins with a consultation, followed by 3D renderings and virtual fly-throughs that let clients visualize their space before a single shovel hits the dirt. “We can show every angle — even the hot dogs on the grill,” Brandon jokes.
Once the design is finalized, the team helps clients choose from premium materials — pool finishes, tile, decking, and lighting — and coordinates every step internally between design, sales, and operations to ensure a smooth process. “The more intention we put into planning upfront, the smoother the build goes,” he adds.
It’s More Than Just a Pool
Sure, the pool is the centerpiece — but Ivy Creek’s magic lies in crafting entire outdoor experiences. Think lounging areas, dining spaces, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and even putting greens.
“We build the space where you’ll make memories — from poolside cheeseburgers to s’mores by the fire,” Brandon says.
They also take care of the details homeowners worry about most: HOA coordination, neighbor communication, and keeping job sites clean and organized. Their project managers personally introduce themselves to nearby residents and oversee every phase with professionalism and courtesy.
