Luxury Outdoor Living Across Coastal NC — From Johnston County to the Coast
Eastern North Carolina Designs LLC is headquartered at 8722 NC Highway 210 in Four Oaks, NC — a location that puts us at a unique inland-to-coastal crossroads. We curate outdoor experiences for homeowners in seven authoritative service areas, from the estates of Smithfield to the waterfronts of Wilmington and Topsail Island.
One Firm. Seven Cities. A Unique NC 210 Corridor.
Most luxury outdoor living firms in North Carolina specialize in either the inland estate market or the coastal beach-home market. ENC Designs is one of the only design-build firms that covers both. Our base in Four Oaks sits directly on NC Highway 210 — a road that travels east through Johnston and Pender counties all the way to the Intracoastal Waterway, linking the inland farmland estates of Smithfield and Wallace with the beachfront communities of Surf City, Carolina Beach, and Wilmington.
That corridor is more than a commute. It's a design philosophy. Our crews are equipped for the sandy, salt-sprayed soils of Topsail Island and the heavier clay soils of inland Duplin and Johnston counties. We understand coastal drainage, hurricane-grade construction, historic district codes, and estate-scale land planning — because we build across all of those conditions every single week.

Every ENC Designs project is fully custom, rendered in 3D before construction, and built by a single accountable team. Select your city below to see how we approach luxury outdoor living in your corner of coastal North Carolina.

Leland Services
One Team. Every Soil. Every Climate.
The NC 210 corridor crosses two radically different landscapes — inland clay to coastal sand, rolling farmland to flat dune terrain, mild winters to hurricane season. Most firms specialize in one or the other. We specialize in both because we drive both, every week.
That means when we show up at your Wilmington waterfront estate, we've already been on a Smithfield job site that morning. When we design a Topsail beach house, we bring the same precision we'd apply to a River Landing estate. The craftsmanship doesn't change — only the soil, the salt, and the setbacks.
- Coastal-engineered paver bases for sandy, salt-exposed properties
- Clay-soil drainage and grading for inland estate lots
- Hurricane-smart hardscape, anchoring, and storm-water management
- Salt-tolerant plant palettes alongside traditional coastal NC species
- Historic district compliance for Wilmington and Smithfield downtowns

Our seven service areas are where we operate every week, but we quote select projects in surrounding Johnston, Pender, Duplin, Brunswick, and New Hanover counties. Call us to discuss your project and property — if it's a good fit, we'll tell you. If it isn't, we'll point you to someone we trust.
