From Humble Beginnings to Wilmington's Trusted Builder
Forest Outdoor Living was founded in 2022 with a simple belief: your outdoor space should be as beautiful and functional as the inside of your home.
Led by owner Jose Avendaño and a team of 10+ skilled craftsmen, we bring decades of combined experience to every project. We know the Cape Fear Coast — the salt air, the sandy soil, the hurricane seasons — and we build accordingly.
Every project is managed in-house from initial design to final walkthrough. No subcontractors. No middlemen. Just a team that takes pride in honest work and lasting results.
Today, we're proud to be one of the most trusted outdoor living contractors in the Wilmington area, with a 4.9-star reputation built on hundreds of successful projects and long-term customer relationships.
