Custom Deck Design and Construction in Atlanta, GA
A deck should do more than add square footage behind the home. It should create a comfortable transition outdoors, support the way your family gathers, and connect naturally with the surrounding patio, landscape, lighting, and yard.
Outdoor Makeover & Living Spaces designs and builds custom decks as part of thoughtful Atlanta outdoor environments. Our team considers architecture, elevation, circulation, shade, privacy, materials, and the broader property before construction begins.
Decks Designed as Part of the Property
The right deck depends on more than its dimensions. We consider how people will reach it from the home, how furniture and grilling areas will fit, where stairs should lead, how the structure relates to lower patios or lawns, and whether shade or screening is needed.
A deck project may include:
- Wood or composite decking
- Custom stairs and railings
- Multiple levels
- Integrated seating
- Covered or partially covered areas
- Screened outdoor rooms
- Pergolas and shade structures
- Lighting
- Adjacent patios and walkways
- Landscaping and privacy planting
- Drainage beneath or around the structure
Decks can be planned as focused improvements or as one component of a larger backyard renovation.
Deck Considerations for Atlanta Homes
Atlanta homes often sit above the rear yard, making deck elevation, stair placement, and the relationship to lower outdoor spaces especially important. Mature trees may affect shade, views, construction access, and material maintenance.
Moisture, runoff, and ventilation should also be addressed. Where the deck connects to a patio, pool area, or outdoor kitchen, planning those relationships together generally produces a more useful result.

Our Deck Design-Build Process
The Client Concierge first learns how you want to use the deck and whether it is part of a larger outdoor vision. The recommended consultation reflects structural complexity, elevation, number of connected spaces, design needs, anticipated investment, and readiness.
The planning process may include site evaluation, layout development, material selection, coordination with adjoining features, applicable permitting, proposal development, construction, inspection requirements, final walkthrough, and support.
How Much Does a Custom Deck Cost in Atlanta?
Deck investment varies based on:
- Overall size and elevation
- Wood or composite material
- Structural requirements
- Stair and railing complexity
- Covered areas or screened rooms
- Lighting and electrical work
- Demolition of an existing deck
- Site access
- Integration with patios, kitchens, or landscaping
Pricing should be determined after the property and desired scope have been evaluated.
Why Choose Outdoor Makeover for an Atlanta Deck?
Our advantage is the ability to look beyond the deck itself. The same team can coordinate carpentry with hardscaping, landscaping, drainage, lighting, outdoor kitchens, and the rest of the property. That produces a more complete result than treating the deck as an isolated structure.
Do you build both wood and composite decks?
Material options depend on the project, design objectives, appearance, maintenance expectations, and anticipated investment.
Can you replace an existing deck?
Yes. The existing structure and its relationship to the home must be evaluated before the replacement plan is finalized.
Can a deck connect to a lower patio?
Yes. Decks, stairs, landings, patios, retaining walls, and landscaping can be planned as one coordinated sequence.
Do Atlanta decks require permits?
Requirements depend on the location and scope. Applicable permitting and structural requirements are addressed during project planning.
Can you add a roof or screened area?
Yes, when the home, property, scope, and structural conditions support the addition.
