Meet Owner Nathan Morales
Hi, I’m Nathan Morales, owner of Conceptual Outdoor Design. I am a proud husband, father of two, and avid outdoorsman. My favorite moments in life are when I’m spending time with family and friends, enjoying an evening around the firepit, playing with the kids in the pool, or celebrating birthdays and other life milestones with the people who matter most.
In the nearly 20 years I have operated this business, it has been my experience that our clients find some of their greatest joy in some of the simplest moments. Having an outdoor area that allows them to relax, unwind and reconnect with one another is an invaluable investment in both their home and more importantly, their family. When you choose to work with us, you get a space that encourages opportunity for those interpersonal connections, developed by people who love what they do.
What Makes Us Different
When you trust us with your project, expect us to work like we were doing it for our own family. Integrity in our business and life is the backbone of everything we do, and we reflect it through every aspect of our work.
Over the years, we’ve learned that passion, love, and dedication are three major keys to overcoming any obstacle in life, and we embody that in the field. You and your home will get this highly committed and personal energy that we put forth on and off the job, no matter what.
We communicate openly, set realistic expectations, and deliver on our promises. No matter what challenges we face, your needs will always come first.

But don't just take our word for it...

We met Nathan with Conceptual outdoor design at the Virginia Beach Home and Garden Show. We were just trying to get ideas on what to do with our small back yard that would make it more useable.
So glad we met Nathan, from the very start he sold us. Nathan and his crew were always on time and always kept me informed on what the next phase of our backyard project patio/deck would be. He was very easy to work with and was always responsive to any changes that we needed to make.
We love our backyard now. He has made our un-usable backyard into something that we thoroughly enjoy. I would HIGHLY recommend his company for any work.

Nate and Conceptual Outdoor Design was, hands down, the best we worked with over 18 months of construction.
After we moved in, we had a few service issues completely unrelated in installation that Nate took care of immediately.
Our neighbors we so impressed with his work, they hired him to handle their pool deck after he finished our job.

My family and I could not have been happier with the job Conceptual Outdoor Design did at our new home.
Nate and his team were nothing short of amazing. We interviewed a number of contractors for this portion of the project and after meeting with Nate and listening to his presentation and knowledge of installation, we hired him on the spot. His project included building a retaining wall, pool deck, driveway, front walk, mailbox and outdoor kitchen.
The workmanship throughout was first class. During the course of our home build, we dealt with 50+ contractors.
