Atlanta Outdoor Living Design and Construction
Your outdoor space should feel like an extension of your home—not a collection of improvements added without a clear plan. Outdoor Makeover & Living Spaces helps Atlanta homeowners create cohesive outdoor environments designed for entertaining, family time, relaxation, recreation, and long-term enjoyment.
Our design-build approach brings landscaping, hardscaping, carpentry, lighting, drainage, and outdoor amenities together in one organized plan. Whether your property needs a more inviting front entrance, a complete backyard renovation, a covered entertaining area, or a better solution for an underused yard, we help you make informed decisions before construction begins.
Outdoor Spaces Designed Around Your Lifestyle
Every successful transformation starts with understanding how the property should function. You may want a patio that makes large gatherings easier, an outdoor kitchen that keeps the host connected to guests, a shaded retreat for Atlanta summers, or a family-friendly space with room for play and recreation.
Depending on the property and project goals, your plan may incorporate:
- Landscape design and installation
- Patios, walkways, steps, and retaining walls
- Outdoor kitchens and gathering areas
- Porches, decks, pergolas, and shade structures
- Fireplaces and fire pits
- Drainage, grading, and erosion solutions
- Outdoor lighting
- Recreation courts and synthetic turf
- Pools and coordinated pool surroundings
Rather than treating these elements as separate projects, we consider circulation, scale, drainage, materials, architecture, privacy, and the way each space connects to the home.
Planning for Atlanta Properties
Atlanta properties can present a wide range of design considerations, including mature trees, sloped yards, compact urban lots, older hardscapes, drainage problems, and additions completed at different times. Thoughtful planning helps determine what should remain, what should change, and how new improvements can feel intentional.
Our team evaluates the complete property so that visible design features and essential infrastructure work together.
A Design-Build Process That Creates Confidence
The process begins with a conversation about your property, goals, priorities, timing, and anticipated investment. Our Client Concierge then recommends the planning approach that best matches the project’s scope and complexity.
From consultation and design through material coordination, construction, final walkthrough, and one-year support, our team provides an organized path toward a finished outdoor environment.

Our Process
Can you renovate an existing Atlanta backyard?
Yes. We can evaluate existing patios, landscaping, structures, drainage, pools, and other features to determine what can be retained and what should be redesigned.
Do you handle drainage as part of a larger project?
Yes. Drainage, grading, and erosion conditions are considered during planning because they can affect landscaping, hardscapes, structures, and the long-term performance of the property.
Can an outdoor renovation be completed in phases?
Some properties benefit from a phased master plan. Planning the complete vision first can help future phases connect properly and reduce costly conflicts.
Do you provide routine landscape maintenance?
Outdoor Makeover does not provide routine mowing or ongoing landscape maintenance. A special spring clean-up service may be available seasonally.
