Archadeck Takes This Macon Backyard Beyond Builder-Grade

Archadeck Takes This Macon Backyard Beyond Builder-Grade

It’s not rocket science. Just exquisite and thoughtful planning and design. As wide as the rear sliding doors were, that is what the builder gave this family for their barbecue grill and a canvas outdoor chair. That was it.

Before,

Like many homeowners, these clients were faced with a small, builder-grade concrete pad as their sole outdoor living space. Archadeck of Central GA comes to the rescue and adds function and practicality.

A New Paver Patio And New Retaining Wall Addition

Wow … what a difference intelligent planning and great design make.

After – WOW!

To turn this dramatically sloped backyard into a safer and more functional outdoor area, we first raised the patio surface by installing a strong, sturdy and handsome retaining wall. Meticulously designed and built by the engineering construction team of Archadeck of Central Georgia, the elevated backyard foundation retaining wall addition and the connected paver patio were both constructed with Lowcountry Pavers Hardscape Products.

This stylish 3-piece paver configuration is perfectly suited for this elevated patio design. With a slight chamfer, these permeable pavers feature a smooth face and very contemporary lines to add a functional modern touch while also shedding water from the surface back into the earth.

The accented stone wall beautifully complements the installation with a contrasting color variance – smoky gray at the base ascending to handsome values of earthen brown at the top.

More Outdoor Living Room And Better Aesthetics

Building an elevated paver patio and retaining wall that covers the entire rear footprint of a home with a sloped backyard can offer several benefits, especially when designed by the patio and retaining wall experts at Archadeck.

Increased Usable Space. As this family soon learned, a sloped backyard can be challenging to use effectively. By constructing an elevated patio and retaining wall, we created a level, functional space for outdoor activities such as entertaining guests, dining, or simply relaxing. It effectively dramatically expands the usable area of this Macon property.

Improved Aesthetics. An elevated patio and retaining wall can enhance the overall appearance of your home and backyard. It adds depth and dimension to the landscape, making it more visually appealing, as well as exponentially more functional.

Better Drainage. The retaining wall helps manage water runoff and prevents erosion on the sloped terrain, a huge consideration and big benefit. Proper drainage will protect this home’s foundation and prevent water-related issues in the basement or lower levels of the house.

Enhanced Stability. Building a sturdy retaining wall adds structural stability to the backyard sloped landscape. This can be particularly important if your home is situated on a hillside or if there’s a risk of soil erosion.

Versatility In Design. Elevated patios and retaining walls can be designed in various styles and materials to complement your home’s architecture and your personal preferences. This flexibility allows for creativity in landscaping and outdoor design.

Opportunity For Landscaping. The flat, elevated surface provided by the patio can be an excellent place for landscaping, too, such as adding flower beds, shrubs, trees, or even a small garden. This can further enhance the beauty of the outdoor living and entertaining space.

Increased Property Value. A well-designed elevated patio and retaining wall by Archadeck can significantly boost your property’s value. It adds curb appeal and makes your home more attractive to potential buyers in the future. Customized outdoor living spaces are in huge demand these days.

Easier Maintenance. Maintaining a flat patio area is generally easier compared to dealing with a sloped landscape.

Outdoor Entertainment Space. An elevated patio provides a great space for outdoor entertaining, barbecues, parties and group gatherings. It can become the focal point for hosting friends and family, especially during the warmer Macon, Georgia, months.

Accessibility. If you have mobility challenges or elderly family members, an elevated patio is more accessible and safer to navigate than a sloped backyard – much more accessible and much more safe.

How To Expand – And Extend – Your Outlook On Outdoor Living With A Deck Upgrade From Archadeck

The weathered red patina of the old deck provided a beautiful contrast to the landscape of surrounding green trees and foliage, but that was about it.

Before
Before.

The backyard deck structure which surrounded the house was no longer accessible and usable, so it needed to be torn down.

After The Tear Down, A Beautiful New Deck Is Born

This deck transformation was more than just a deck replacement, it was a rethinking and reimagining of the structure. Whereas the original deck was only 8 feet deep, the new one was designed to extend 4 feet further out to be more practical and functional.

After
After.

As we removed the original 8-foot deck structure, our team members also discovered that the house band outside the home was rotten and also needed to be replaced. Of course, we fixed it. That’s what proactive, true professional outdoor living space builders do. It’s part of our DNA. It turns out that the rot damage occurred because the home exterior that abutted the deck was not flashed properly – hence the problem.

Fixing Old Deck Problems With Creative Thinking And New Outdoor Building Materials

Now that we figured out what the problem areas were and what solutions were needed, it came time for this outdoor contractor to rethink the design and outlay of the new deck.

By increasing the footprint from the original 8 feet to a new and improved 12 feet, outdoor living furniture could finally be placed in various conversation areas around the home exterior.

The outdoor built-in deck bench, which became a cumbersome obstacle at times for entertaining, was removed. In its stead, we replaced it with a beautiful two-tone protective railing comprised of pressure-treated wood with black metal pickets. Topping it all, now stands a drink rail cap crafted from composite decking material for durability and low maintenance.

With A Lake Overlook, Two Sets Of Stairs Are Better Then One

Once outdoors, the family also wanted to create an easier passage to the deck from the backyard landscape so we added a second staircase. This new two-staircase configuration made much more sense as the expanded wraparound deck welcomed more traffic flow and increased functionality.

Fiberon Good Life Composite Decking In Richly Brown Toned Bungalow Is Just What The Doctor Ordered

With Minimal Design Changes, A New Wooden Deck In Macon’s Historic District Rises To The Occasion

Reminiscent of the adage “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade”, comes this tale of a new deck replacement in the charming confines of the historic district of Macon in Central Georgia.

Macon Deck Builders

Having served its originally intended purpose for more than 20 years, this revered wooden deck needed to be replaced for a multitude of reasons: among them structural integrity, the appearance, and outdated access functionality.

before
Before

The challenge was that working in the Historic District of Macon meant that any remodels have to abide by certain criteria. On this deck update replacement and upgrade project, we were able to rebuild and improve upon the deck. But – and it’s a big but – we could not amend the design in such a way that it would be visible from the street.

Macon custom deck builders
After.

So, we made minimal design changes that would stay within those guidelines but still deliver a magnificent outdoor structure that would function well, look great, and stand the test of time.

The Beauty And Durability Of Real Wood Cannot Be Denied

Emulating the structural design bones of its predecessor, this new multi-level backyard deck replacement was meticulously crafted out of premium pressure-treated pine.

With our credo of better building by design, and adhering to the strictest construction principles there are, we made doubly sure that the substructure was built extremely strong and brought the deck up to all the current codes.

Creating Better Access With This Next Generation Of Wood Decking

When compared to the Before images, you can see our team redesigned the stair area. Where there was one staircase, we modified the design to now include a landing with staircases flanking both left and right – a minimal visible change but a strategically sound one.

Macon custom deck builders

For greater aesthetic appeal with its resulting shadow patterns cast from the sun – and adding the function of partial shade – we also added the charming pressure-treated pine pergola overhead.

Staying true to the homeowner’s wishes, the entire project was built using pressure-treated pine.

Speaking of better access, a measure of privacy and protection was included in the redesign with the addition of two gates – one at each stairway base at ground level.

How This Monroe County, GA, Deck Builder Reclaims This Backyard With An Amazing Deck Transformation

As is often the case, Father Time can play tricks on us when we least expect it. An example can be seen in the Before photo that speaks for itself before this expert Monroe County GA deck builder worked their team magic.

A Monroe County home for generations, the backyard did not keep up with the interior home improvements – so we fixed that.

A Backyard Renovation That Starts With A Brand New Deck

The original deck was split into two levels, so our custom design plan was to create one contiguous deck platform, with an 8-step staircase leading to the rear lawn.

The new deck design is fluid as it stretches the entire rear footprint of the home. The result is an all-new pressure-treated wooden deck that beautifully accentuates the style and character of the home.

A Foundation For The Future With Structural Strength And Integrity Built In

To ensure a long lease on its new life, and for additional safety, we reinforced the deck with new Cox posts that support the deck under the rear roofline.

Stunning Deck And Screened Porch Combination Replaces A Meager Concrete Slab Patio

Once upon a time in the recent past, almost 3 months ago to be precise, nestled in the town of Macon, Georgia, we met a very lovely homeowner. This Macon homeowner decided it was high time to start enjoying her backyard, so she called the deck and screened porch combination builder near me known as Archadeck.

macon ga screened porch and deck combination designs

After giving it much thought for quite a while, the homeowner wanted to expand her interior living room space into her vast backyard outdoors for relaxation, fun, and games – card games, that is.

Deck And Screened Porch Combination Creates A Whole New Reason To Love Outdoor Living

Since playing cards was the name of the game, protection from the wind, rain, and other outdoor elements was a primary focus of the new outdoor living design plan. The formula for success was a sprawling gable roof atop a brand spanking new deck and screened porch combination that could actually accommodate several card playing tables in resplendent comfort.

macon screened porch builders

Using high-quality and versatile screen panels, the end result is the perfect marriage of allowing just enough fresh air into the space without being hampered by wind gusts.

Just outside her deck and screened porch combination, our Archadeck of Central Georgia team also allowed for a space for outdoor grilling to feed hungry card players and those in the peanut gallery. It is conveniently located to the far right of the new structure.

New Screened Porch Design Featuring A Gable Roof With An Open-End Gable With Screen

Maximizing every practical opportunity to enjoy the outdoor air, we also built this new deck and screened porch combination with ventilation at the very top along the open-end gable geometry.

With its Fiberon Good Like decking 30-year warranty for stain, fade, and performance, we built this deck and screened porch combination space in the color Beach House.

Boasting the convenience of its ultra-low maintenance Earth-friendly composite nature, this Fiberon Escapes Collection decking welcomes guests with its authentic wood look features and distinct grain patterns. If you didn’t know better, you would swear it was wood.

Low Maintenance Deck And Screened Porch Combination Puts The Focus On Leisure And Good Times

With fun on her mind, the last thing the client wanted was to be concerned with the upkeep of the new space. Luckily for her, the Escapes Collection features multi-tonal colors that resemble exotic hardwoods. Manufactured via composite construction that prevents splintering, cracking and decay, this Fiberon decking material frees her from the rigorous maintenance of wood.

Upon glancing upward, you’ll notice that the open rafter ceiling is finished in T1-11 tongue-in-groove. It provides a beautifully rich complement to the gray beach coloration of the decking below.

Outside the right-side screen door, the grill deck and adjacent staircase is protected with powder-coated Fortress iron balusters on the railing.

We’re So Thankful That Our Clients Appreciate Us In Their Thoughts And Kind Words

We never take for granted the gracious feedback we receive from our deck and screened porch combination space clients.

As we put the finishing touches on this new deck and screened porch combination, the customer left a token of her gratitude for us to share with our team.

“John (Haugabook), please express to your Archadeck team how it was evident to me they worked together in harmony during the building of my porch. It was pleasant to hear them interact with each other in such a positive way. Please accept this small token of appreciation for you and for the guys who work so hard to make this outdoor room enjoyable.”

Perry, GA, Deck Builder Builds Exquisite Outdoor Space In Flat Creek Preserve

As your Perry GA deck builder Archadeck rose to the occasion by designing and handcrafting one of the most spacious and vast backyard decks we have ever had the pleasure of building.

perry ga custom deck builders

Fortunately for the folks who live in Flat Creek Preserve in Perry, Georgia, the homes there have huge lots. With such depth and width, it gave our team the benefit of designing outdoor living spaces that meet every need and expectation of our clients who live there.

Adding A Deck Adjacent To A Screened Porch For A Larger Outdoor Living Space

The family’s existing screened porch went down to a very tiny landing via 6 brick stairs, yielding a ground-level platform that was wide enough to hold an all-weather door mat and not much else. They yearned for more space to expand their outdoor living and entertaining options.

Before.

When designing the deck for their approval, the family requested that we include two sets of stairs for more convenient access, the first to their existing patio and the second serving as access to the garage.

Two Deck Bays Do The Trick For Gaining More Living Space In This Perry, GA, Backyard

With the new generous deck foundation, we created several outdoor living areas for the family to enjoy. Now, there is ample room for conversation areas, outdoor grilling, and an alfresco outdoor dining table.

After.

As for the material selections for this backyard screened porch, patio, and deck combination space, we used low-maintenance TimberTech decking in the color Coconut Husk. This lightest colored synthetic of the TimberTech Prime+ Collection beautifully brings color-blended decking to this outdoor living space with moderately varied hues of browns and thin striations of soft gray. Featuring a subtle, straight grain pattern, the long-lasting, scalloped decking in this collection creates an authentic wood visual that is sure to impress for years to come.

The protective railing is wood with black metal powder coated iron. The drink rail cap was also done in TimberTech Coconut Husk, as well, for aesthetic continuity.

A Completely New Deck Brings Outdoor Living To A New Level Of Spaciousness, Glamour, And Storage Convenience

With a backyard this large, there is usually a need for additional outdoor furnishings for larger gatherings, especially on the weekends. To accommodate crowd flow – and to spread the conversation and visitation throughout the yard – we also built a large storage area below the deck to house lawn and lounge chairs, as well as tables, shade items, and toys for the kids.

How to upgrade a small patio into a huge outdoor living oasis

This Warner Robins, GA paver patio builder wants to share with you our version of The Little Engine That Could – in a manner of speaking.

ARCHADECK OF CENTRAL GA TRANSFORMS A SMALL PAVER PATIO INTO AN OUTDOOR LIVING HARDSCAPE OASIS

The family that enjoyed their backyard with a simple teeny, tiny patio wanted more. They wanted a larger patio than the one they were currently living with. So, we tore up the existing space to upgrade and expand the outdoor living area with a new paver patio foundation. The original patio had steps that were not up to code, we solved that problem, too, by adding stunning new pavers to create a majestic-looking framework.

warner-robin-ga-fire-pit-and-patio-

The end result, as you can see above , is reminiscent of a variegated stone outdoor stage platform – perfect for outdoor fun and play.

In addition to the expanded patio which accommodates several seating and dining group areas, we walled in the outer perimeter with a stacked stone built-in semi-circular seating bench.

warner-robins-custom-hardscape-builder

At the farthest point of the circular shape, we built a highly customized fire pit that accented the look, feel, texture and tone of the paver patio.

This inspiration actually came from photos the family viewed online at Archadeck.com. Hence, we took that inspiration and replicated what they had in mind. Cool, huh?

As our conversation continued during their free design consultation, dad asked, “Can we please also add a grilling station? I’d love to finally retire my old and faithful Weber charcoal grill and have a gas line installed to make it more convenient to barbecue.”

Well, of course, we replied, “Yes. Absolutely. It would be our pleasure.

To make this patio upgrade a reality, we used our favorite line of patio pavers, Lowcountry Pavers. Serving the Southeast, North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, Lowcountry Pavers provide us with unmatched quality and an outstanding warranty.

warner-robins-fire-pit-builders

Made with the highest level of craftsmanship imaginable, these are the highest quality concrete pavers money can buy.

Their paver selections include the pavers you see here as well as thin pavers, pool coping and retaining wall systems. In our humble opinion, no other pavers in the area match that quality and warranty.

It is also interesting to note that Lowcountry has a strong social conscience. When we purchase their pavers for patios, driveways, walkways, pools and firepits, they, in turn, help others. A portion of all sales go to The Curry Foundation and several local Lowcountry charities.

FROM UPGRADED PATIO TO FIRE PIT, SEATING AREA, GRILL STATION AND WOOD BURNING FIRE PIT, THIS SHOWCASE OF WARNER ROBINS PATIOS AND HARDSCAPES HAS IT ALL

When it comes to exceptional Warner Robins GA custom patios, there is simply no better choice than Archadeck. Our rave reviews from clients and the referrals they grace us with are a testament to that.

Are you ready to have the outdoor space you always imagined possible?  A Warner Robins patio with fire pit – or a Warner Robins, GA custom patio – Archadeck is here to make those dreams come true.

Outdated Screened Porch Gets A New Life

Sometimes a quick fix doesn’t quite do the job when you want a custom porch transformation.

Warner Robins screened porch
New look and feel from our screened porch update in Warner Robins, GA.

These Warner Robins homeowners had a screened porch originally built out of non-pressure treated lumber. As such, the walls were starting to rot, not to mention that the screened porch panels were too close together. While looking for screened porch builders, they asked Archadeck of Central Ga to take care of the maintenance issues related to the rotting porch and open up the structure for more enjoyment and better aesthetics.

For instance, take this original screened porch in Warner Robins, GA. It needed attention and creative usability thinking to make it a better low-maintenance outdoor living room for the family. Sadly, the family felt sequestered when trying to relax inside; it and we really needed to remedy that.

Instead of conveying a sense of outdoor living enjoyment, the tightly enclosed area with an obstructed view of the backyard was just plain sad.

First things first, our construction team leader and crew carefully removed the structure so that the adjacent hardscape patio remained untouched.

Replacing the rotting wood, we installed new walls and supports throughout. And we switched out the three-foot-wide screened door leading to the patio with a twelve-foot wide sliding door, allowing huge open access to their backyard.

Spanning the majority of the newly designed screened porch, this large opening accommodated more people and better utilized the patio outside.

Warner Robins screened porch upgrade

The homeowners were able to install a TV inside the new (improved)  porch custom design, and with the newly expanded sliding door access, it could be viewed from virtually any perspective – inside and out. And for Sunday NFL football fans, that was the cherry atop the proverbial sundae.

This new outdoor room also features all-new supports and new LVL headers. Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is an engineered wood product that is fabricated with multiple layers of thin wood assembled with adhesives. It is typically used for headers, beams, rim board and edge-forming material. Due to its composite nature, it is much less likely than conventional lumber to warp, twist, bow, or shrink, which makes it perfect for this porch transformation.

For further protection and longevity, we also wrapped everything in white PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) to eliminate maintenance.

The white screen frame you see in the finished porch picture is white aluminum, which we did as a favor for the family.

Archadeck Revisits Customers in Macon’s Stone Edge Subdivision

What does comprehensive service look like to you? At Archadeck of Central Georgia, we are deeply invested in the long-lasting happiness of our neighbors, and that’s why we often have repeat customers! This was exactly what happened when this customer approached us about redecking a deck we built for them back in the ’90s. Unfortunately, outdoor structures won’t last forever. Indeed, given long enough, even stone will degrade over time. However, age doesn’t necessarily spell the end for your deck. Archadeck is an industry expert in assessing older outdoor living structures and proceeding with necessary repairs and replacements. For example, deck surfaces will often degrade more quickly than their support structure, which means an outright deck replacement might not be necessary! Such a scenario was a reality for this customer. Let’s dig into the exciting refurbishment we delivered to them.

Macon GA Redecking

What does the Macon GA redecking process look like?

Aging, but well built, decks have been known to sustain their structural integrity despite the appearance of their flooring. Archadeck, a national expert in decking, has a long track record of installing additions with robust structural integrity, as this customer can attest to. So, what is redecking? This process involves removing the boards of your old deck, installing new decking, and making other adjustments if necessary. This process is more economical than installing a brand new deck, and modern materials ensure a dramatic increase in your deck’s longevity.

This deck was originally made of wood only. Wood was still an option for this Archadeck of Central GA return customer, but modern materials like TimberTech, a composite imitation wood, are far better at resisting damage from the elements, and they also maintain their appearance for substantially longer. As a replacement for their deck surface, this customer decided to go with TimberTech Pro Reserve Decking in the color Antique Leather. Even if you look closely, it’s incredibly hard to tell that this innovative material isn’t real wood!

TimberTech Pro Reserve Decking in the color Antique Leather

In combination with the TimberTech boards used for the deck’s flooring, we used pressure-treated wood to construct much of the stairs and replacement railing found on this project. This pairing of synthetic and genuine wood creates a gorgeous mesh of colors and further enhances the deck’s aesthetics. To improve the longevity of the rails, we added a composite cap to help defend the underlying wood from water and elemental exposure.

Your Macon GA deck builder cares about the fine details, that’s why we also resurfaced this customer’s small potting shelf off to the right of their deck. We are dedicated to ensuring you have the best outdoor living experience possible, and it’s our excellent service that keeps our customers coming back for more – even 20 years later!

Archadeck Takes This Warner Robins Outdoor Living Space Beyond Builder Grade

As the summer of 2021 draws to a gentle close, the approaching fall season is one that many of our clients love. The days of being concerned about high outdoor temperatures and sometimes scorching heat are being replaced with cherished moments of outdoor refreshment with temperatures often in the high 60s and 70s – especially in the early morning with outdoor coffee or after dinner when the kids are finally down for the evening.

warner robins screened porch builders

Priding ourselves in being the preferred and premier deck and porch builder of the Central Georgia area, Archadeck welcomes inquiries from families that want to more truly enjoy their backyards, but need our creative design and planning help to do just that.

Take, for example, this virtually barren backyard with a small builder-grade concrete patio. It barely accommodated a seating area and patio table and chairs – with absolutely no protection from outdoor elements. Not liking that situation, our latest Archadeck of Central Georgia client reached out to us for our outdoor living expertise.

WITH OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES, SIZE DEFINITELY MATTERS – THE BIGGER THE BETTER

“How do you envision using your backyard in the future? What’s your wish list?,’” we asked our Feagin Mill family members. “We’d love a large screened porch, but this concrete pad is just way too small, and that’s just for starters,” they replied.

So putting pen to paper, our outdoor living consultation professional started to map out an idea that would increase the square footage of that existing concrete pad significantly. We showed them how adding more structurally sound concrete behind the house would be the first step in our screened porch builder solution, keeping their original slab as a starting point.

To accommodate their desired screened porch request, shortly thereafter we arrived with a cement truck to generously expand the footprint of what would soon become the foundation of a magnificent screened porch – complete with a stunning fire feature.

Before the concrete pour, we installed the proper footings to support the outdoor living space structure – along with steel rebar and other critical reinforcements.

screened porch patio in warner robins ga

To ensure that the slope of the home rear exterior was taken into consideration for this critical first step of the screened porch build, the cement was poured in both the front and into all sides of the new foundation area to accommodate the grade of the backyard.

After the slab patio and screened porch floor was built out, our next step was to install an aluminum wall system to provide sturdy structural support and integrity.

SCREENED PORCHES GIVE YOU THE BEST OF ALL OUTDOOR WORLDS – FRESH AIR, BEAUTIFUL SIGHT LINES, AND NO PESKY MOSQUITOES OR OTHER ANNOYING INSECTS

To make sure that this new outdoor living space would be all that it could be, next came the installation of the screening material, surrounding the entire front and sides of the exterior structure. In doing so, we eliminated the entrance of insects, pollen and other seasonal debris from violating this new space.

To finish the screened porch, we added vinyl siding inside and out, along with a knee wall all the way around the perimeter of the porch. And to protect from unwanted elements from above, we built a hip roof attachment tying into the home’s existing roof for a seamless transition. By doing so, it now looks like this screened porch was always there – from day one. We even installed new gutters to facilitate the flow of falling rainwater away from the screened porch sides.

To beautify the interior of this new outdoor living room, this screened porch custom builder integrated Dutch quality stacked stone in the color of Arizona to surround and complement the new electric fireplace.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OFF-SEASON CONVENIENCE BY SCHEDULING YOUR SCREENED PORCH PROJECT NOW

Another beauty of the coming autumn season is being able to better accommodate our screened porch clients on our build schedule. Now that the summer “I-gotta-have-it-now” rush is over, we can better meet virtually any reasonable timetable you require to design and build the ultimate outdoor living space. And should cash flow be a concern right now, no worries. We offer very reasonable financing should you desire it for qualified clients.
