Custom Outdoor Living Spaces in Marietta, GA

A spacious yard does not automatically become a space your family uses. Without the right layout, shade, circulation, and connection to the home, even an attractive property can feel unfinished.

Outdoor Makeover & Living Spaces helps Marietta homeowners turn underused yards into complete outdoor environments. Our team combines thoughtful design, organized planning, quality construction, and personalized recommendations based on how you want to live outside.

A More Cohesive Way to Improve Your Property

Instead of planning a patio, landscape, structure, and lighting system independently, we consider how every element should work together. This creates a more consistent appearance and makes the finished property easier to use.

A Marietta outdoor transformation may include:

Custom landscape design
Patios and walkways
Retaining and seating walls
Outdoor kitchens
Porches, decks, and carpentry
Pergolas and covered entertaining areas
Fire features
Drainage and grading improvements
Outdoor lighting
Recreation areas
Complete backyard renovations

Your design may support weekend gatherings, everyday family dinners, quiet evenings, children’s activities, or a combination of uses.

Design Considerations for Marietta Homes

Marietta includes established neighborhoods, newer communities, properties with mature trees, and yards with meaningful elevation changes. A successful plan must respond to the individual property rather than force a standard layout onto it.

We evaluate slopes, drainage patterns, access, privacy, sun exposure, existing improvements, architectural style, and the relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces. This allows us to recommend improvements that feel natural to the home.

From Vision to Construction

Our Client Concierge begins by learning what you want to change, who will use the space, and why the project matters to your family. After discussing scope, timing, design needs, property complexity, and anticipated investment, we recommend the appropriate consultation.

The design and construction teams then coordinate the project from early planning through completion and final walkthrough.

Consult

Each project at Outdoor Makeover and Living Spaces begins with a symphony of listening and understanding. We pay close attention to our clients, immersing ourselves in their hopes and dreams. Our client concierge books a convenient consultation for you and the proper designer based on your objectives and desires. This meeting takes about an hour or two and dives deep into all sorts of possibilities so your yard matches your lifestyle.

Design

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.

Build

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.

Our Process

Can you incorporate my existing deck or patio?

Possibly. Its condition, location, scale, and relationship to the proposed design must first be evaluated.

Can you improve a sloped Marietta backyard?

Yes. Depending on the property, recommendations may include grading, retaining walls, terraces, steps, drainage, planting, or repositioning the primary living areas.

Do you build covered outdoor spaces?

Yes. We design and build porches, pergolas, decks, and other carpentry or shade structures as part of broader outdoor plans.

Is 3D design available?

Three-dimensional design may be added to Lifestyle and Legacy consultations for $500. It is not offered as an Elevate add-on.
