Outdoor living in Wilmington.
Wilmington's outdoor living specialists — custom outdoor kitchens, hardscapes, pergolas, and lighting from the team at Bluefin Designs.
Why Wilmington homeowners choose Bluefin.
Wilmington is home base for Bluefin Designs — and it's where we've built our reputation project by project, neighborhood by neighborhood. From historic downtown bungalows to sprawling new construction in Landfall and Mayfaire, we understand the unique character of Wilmington properties and the outdoor spaces they deserve.
The Port City offers some of the best outdoor living weather on the East Coast — mild winters, long springs, and warm summers that make your backyard a year-round gathering place. But coastal humidity, salt-carried air from nearby beaches, and seasonal storms mean materials and construction methods need to be chosen carefully.
That's where our local expertise matters. We don't just build in Wilmington — we live here. We know which materials perform best, which contractors to partner with for specialty work, and how to navigate local permitting. Every project is built for this specific climate, this specific coast.
Wilmington's mix of historic homes, golf course communities, and waterfront properties means no two outdoor projects are alike. Whether you're adding a paver patio to a home in Forest Hills, building an outdoor kitchen in Landfall, or screening in a porch in Ogden — we design for your property, your neighborhood, and your lifestyle.
