What does CT Outdoor Pros do?

CT Outdoor Pros is Christopher Trejo’s Raleigh-based outdoor company. We help with sod, drainage, grading, planting, mulch, stone, stumps, patios, walkways, and low-voltage landscape lighting.

What areas do you serve?

East Raleigh is our home base. We regularly serve Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Apex, Garner, Knightdale, Wake Forest, Wendell, Clayton, Holly Springs, Morrisville, and nearby communities. Send your city or ZIP and we will confirm the route before quoting.

How do I get a project estimate?

Text your address, city, a few photos, and what you want to change to (919) 454-7678. We will talk through the likely scope, then confirm the details during a walk-through. The final price depends on access, grade, materials, and whether drainage comes first.

Do I need to be home for the walk-through?

Not always. If the gate is unlocked and pets are secured, we can often look at the property, text you with questions, and schedule the next step without you staying home.

What grass is best for a Raleigh lawn?

Tall fescue is a strong fit for many partly shaded yards. Bermuda and Zoysia are better for sunny areas and summer heat. We look at the light, drainage, and how the lawn will be used before recommending one.

Can you fix drainage before installing sod or a patio?

Yes—and that is often the right order. We trace where water is coming from, improve the grade where possible, and add drainage when it is needed before installing new lawn or hardscape.

How long does new sod need before I can use it?

Plan on light foot traffic while it roots, usually around two to three weeks depending on the season and watering. We leave you with a simple watering and mowing plan for the first few weeks.

Can you remove a stump before a new lawn or patio?

Yes. We grind below grade and backfill the area so new sod, planting, or a compacted hardscape base is not sitting on a leftover stump or root mass.

What should I send before we talk?

A street address, your city, a few photos from different angles, and a sentence about what is not working. Include the gate location, slope, standing water, or anything else that changes access.

Why Google reviews matter for a Raleigh outdoor company

Real reviews from finished jobs are the trust file for neighbors, Maps, and AI answers. We do not invent ratings.

People in Raleigh search CT Outdoor Pros when they need sod, drainage, or a stump gone. The Google Business Profile is where photos and reviews should live. We need those reviews from real jobs — not from friends who never hired us.

Google and AI answers look at the listing, the website, and whether the name, phone, and address match. This site uses one public name everywhere: CT Outdoor Pros, Christopher Trejo, Pearl Road in Raleigh, (919) 454-7678.

The honest way to get more reviews is simple: do the job, then ask. A text after a finished visit with a link to the listing is enough. We will not write the review, offer a discount for stars, or ask only the happiest customers. That is how listings get filtered.

This page will never show a fake star count or made-up quotes. When a neighbor writes what actually happened, that is the review we want.
