Backyard Design and Renovation in Atlanta, GA

An Atlanta backyard may have plenty of potential and still feel difficult to use. A small patio, disconnected lawn, poor drainage, limited shade, or improvements completed at different times can keep the property from supporting the way your family wants to live.

Outdoor Makeover & Living Spaces designs and builds complete backyard environments for Atlanta homeowners. We coordinate landscaping, hardscaping, structures, lighting, drainage, and outdoor amenities around one clear plan—helping you make confident decisions before construction begins.

Backyard Planning for Atlanta Properties

Atlanta backyards vary from compact in-town lots to larger properties with mature trees and significant grade changes. Tree cover can provide valuable shade while also influencing plant selection, hardscape placement, drainage, and construction access. Georgia clay and concentrated stormwater runoff may also affect where patios, walls, lawns, and structures should be located.

The design process evaluates these conditions early so that attractive improvements are supported by practical infrastructure.

Our Backyard Design-Build Process

We begin by learning what is not working and how you want the property to feel. The Client Concierge asks about intended use, users of the space, priorities, timing, decision-makers, anticipated investment, and readiness.

The appropriate consultation is then recommended based on scope and property complexity. Design may address layout, materials, grading, drainage, landscaping, structures, lighting, utilities, and construction sequencing. Once the plan and proposal are approved, the team coordinates preparation, construction, final walkthrough, and one-year support.

Lifestyle and Legacy consultations may add 3D design for $500. Three-dimensional design is not offered as an Elevate add-on.

Backyard Renovation Investment in Atlanta

The investment depends on the size and condition of the property, demolition, access, grading, drainage, materials, structures, utilities, amenities, and number of project elements.

A focused patio and landscape renovation requires a different level of planning than a comprehensive transformation involving an outdoor kitchen, covered structure, lighting, recreation, and pool surroundings. The Client Concierge will discuss anticipated investment as part of recommending a realistic planning path.

Can you redesign an existing Atlanta backyard?

Yes. We evaluate existing landscaping, patios, decks, pools, structures, drainage, and utilities to determine what may be retained and what should change.

Can the backyard be renovated in phases?

Some projects are well suited to phased construction. Planning the complete vision first helps each phase connect properly and reduces the risk of future conflicts.

Can you make a sloped backyard more usable?

Depending on site conditions, recommendations may include terraces, retaining walls, steps, drainage, planting, or repositioning the main living areas.

Do you design family-friendly spaces?

Yes. A design can balance adult gathering areas with lawn, play, recreation, visibility, shade, and durable surfaces.

Do you provide routine maintenance?

No. Outdoor Makeover focuses on design, construction, complete transformations, aftercare guidance, and its one-year support guarantee. A special spring clean-up service may be available seasonally.

This is where your vision takes shape. Our designer will then come up with concepts and estimates for your project. Whether you want a hand-drawn sketch of the design, or the ability to walk through it with 3D Virtual Reality Consultations, we have you covered. Our standard consultation unfolds like a meticulously written score, with a hand-drawn makeover plan revealing the first notes of your outdoor makeover.

Once you have approved the design, the project will go to our Project Manager’s Office. The PMO will ensure you are assigned the right superintendent and foreman to carry your vision across the finish line. They will massage the job to perfection, performing quality control and keeping you updated on the status of your project. Each project is a masterpiece, handcrafted with precision and attention to ensure that your vision is realized in every facet of your outdoor space.
