Transforming a Backyard for the Boot Salute Winner: Solid Structures Brings the Coble Family’s Dream to Life

Solid Structures was proud to be the contractor for the recent Mike’s Hard Lemonade Boot Salute Backyard Reveal. The project was more than just a backyard transformation—it was a chance for us to give back to a family who has given so much to the community. The Cobles, particularly Derek, Nina, and their children, were the focus of this incredible makeover that was designed to be beautiful, functional, and easy to maintain.

A Community-Driven Project in Hampton Roads

At Solid Structures, we believe in supporting our Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads communities. Partnering with local sponsors like Mosquito Joe, Yorktown Materials, Belgard Hardscapes, and Decks and Docks, we turned the Coble family’s backyard into a haven that fit their unique needs.

The project took about two months to plan and prepare, with one week of intense construction involving five crews working non-stop. Our goal was to create a safe and enjoyable outdoor space that would be easy for the Cobles to maintain, especially given Derek’s physical limitations.

The Big Reveal: A Heartwarming Surprise

The reveal day was filled with emotion and joy. Seeing Nina in tears of happiness and the kids sprinting to explore their new outdoor playground was incredibly rewarding. The design was kept a secret from the family until the final reveal, making the moment even more special.

One of the standout features is a dirt bike track—a dream come true for the kids. Additionally, the backyard includes plenty of mulch to minimize maintenance and create a safe space for the kids to play. The thoughtful design was inspired by Derek’s wish for a space that would bring joy to his family, especially for Nina and the children.

Key Highlights of the Backyard Transformation

• Greenhouse: One of the most exciting additions was a custom greenhouse, perfect for Nina’s passion for gardening. She’s already planning what to plant, making the space both functional and fulfilling.
• Pavilion and Fencing: The pavilion and fencing provided by Decks and Docks added both privacy and aesthetic appeal, creating a safe and secure area for the family.
• Low Maintenance Design: To accommodate Derek’s needs, the yard was designed with ease of upkeep in mind. By incorporating mulch and hardscaping, we reduced the amount of grass and maintenance required, making it perfect for a busy family.

A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Partners

Projects like these wouldn’t be possible without the support of our amazing partners:

• Yorktown Materials and Belgard Hardscapes supplied high-quality hardscape materials.
• Home Depot contributed essential accessories.
• Decks and Docks came through with lumber for the fencing and pavilion.

We’re grateful for everyone who contributed to making this project a success.
