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.

Macon patio builders
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.

Bibb county GA custom decks

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.

archadeck of central ga loves our customers

“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.

This Macon GA Porch Builder Pays Homage To The Term “Idle Hour” In Magnificent Style!

Let’s start this tale by acknowledging the fact that it’s hard to top “Idle Hour” for a southern neighborhood that embraces outdoor living. Within this Macon residential area lives a family that finally came to terms that their aging, elevated pressure treated wooden deck was ready to be permanently retired.

macon deck and porch builder idle hour neighborhood

After the family’s free, no-obligation outdoor living design consultation, the consensus was not to replace the faltering deck by building another deck in its place, but rather to create a dramatic transformation.

before
Existing deck before Archadeck began the project.

Archadeck of Central GA masterminded this dramatic change by converting the space into a majestic, covered porch with a cozy outdoor fireplace integrated right into the heart of the design.

Keeping true to the former deck’s original essence, new contemporary pressure treated lumber was used to create the porch deck floor. At the very top, real wood was again used with the installation of a stunning pine tongue and groove ceiling.

covered porch interior macon ga

The beauty of natural material aesthetics aside, strength and structure were just as important in the design and construction plan. The underneath area of the deck along with its footings were replaced to ensure excellent structural shape and long-term functionality. A swing door protected storage area was added below the porch to safely put away those outdoor seasonal items while not in use.

This Macon deck builder turned porch builder continued to go above and beyond by creating a beautiful shed roof – complete with gutters – to complete the protected installation.

A Pergola Is The Perfect Fit For THis North Macon Homeowners!

Have you ever looked at your existing backyard space, or lack of, and think “I wish” or “I should have”? Chances are likely that as a homeowner, you have desires, or even regret, about an aspect of your home or landscape that you would like to change or would have designed differently if given the chance.  This week’s feature story serves as the perfect example of an existing outdoor living space that just needed the custom elements that Archadeck is known for. 

North Macon Deck Buiiders

Archadeck of Central GA makes your backyard different by design!

Part of the reason Archadeck of Central GA has so many satisfied customers is the way we listen to our client’s needs and offer a customized solution that speaks to those needs. Case in point is our most recent project in North Macon. 

Before
Backyard area before Archadeck of Central GA began the project.

These clients reached out to Archadeck to recommend a custom shade solution for their existing backyard deck and patio space.  They knew that the area needed help, but was uncertain of exactly what they wanted. Their existing patio was unbearable to grill on or utilize in the afternoon due to its proximity to the afternoon sun. In addition, their existing wooden deck was in need of replacement. 

It all began with a pergola!

The homeowners had already started thinking about the possibility of adding a pergola over the patio as a way to beat the heat! After addressing the issues of their current space, Archadeck of Central GA offered a dual-phased solution which tackled the shade solution and bringing the existing deck into the 21st century. 

North Macon pergola and deck builders

Indeed, adding a new pergola served as the perfect fit for the patio to provide shade since the placement of the patio was almost due north.  Archadeck installed a stunning wooden pergola featuring beefy 8 x 8 posts and decorative ogee’ ends.

The pergola construction also features Belgard’s Weston Stone pavers. This enabled us to install the posts for the pergola deep into the ground.  We added the pavers to create a pedestal for the posts. 

A new low maintenance deck with an updated design

Along with the addition of the pergola over the patio for shade,  Archadeck also updated the backyard deck design for these homeowners. The new deck increased the size and functionality  of the space by increasing the seating area and more room to enjoy grilling outdoors. 

The new deck was built using super low-maintenance Fiberon Good Life decking in the color Bungalow.  An updated railing was installed on the deck using black aluminum square railing with a Fiberon rail cap. 

North Macon Fiberon deck builder

Additionally, we changed the stair configuration  allowing the new stairs to spill into the patio and still access the basement below allowing for a right or left traffic flow option.

Archadeck of Central GA has the solution for your backyard woes!

The new updated design, shade solution and low-maintenance deck addition exceeds everything the homeowner had envisioned for this space.  At Archadeck of Central GA we go above and beyond to deliver a custom area that is sure to heighten enjoyment for many years to come!

In this case, we, Archadeck of Central GA, we’re the experts who were able to solve the client’s deck problem. Their wooden deck, original to the home, was causing water to leak into the basement. Many people had tried to remedy this issue for the homeowner, without success.

Why Call an Expert Macon Deck Builder?

Plenty of contractors, builders, handy-men and do-it-yourselfers will tell you they can build a deck. And maybe they have built a deck or two. When you work with Archadeck, however, you benefit from our vast expertise in every aspect of deck construction. Your Archadeck project will also be covered by warranties you won’t get with anyone else.

  • When you work with an expert like Archadeck of Central GA, you’re much less likely to have problems with your deck in the first place.
  • An expert won’t replace an old deck with a new one without finding and correcting the source of leaks or other issues.
  • Archadeck’s warranties covering the workmanship and structural integrity of your deck are unmatched in the industry.

For a Deck Done Right, Call Archadeck of Central GA

This home’s lush landscaping and wooded surroundings off Wimbish Rd. in Macon provide a beautiful setting for an elevated deck. The home’s original deck, made of pressure-treated pine, was fraught with issues, though, and needed to be replaced. Our task, before building a new deck, was to locate the source of water leaks. The homeowner had water leaking into the basement and running down the exterior wall under the deck.

Before

Archadeck of Central Georgia was able to identify the source of these issues: the deck had never been flashed properly. Evidently the home builder didn’t fully understand deck construction. In addition to issues with the flashing, we identified that the deck joists running parallel to the house were part of the problem. The only viable solution was to remove the existing deck and start over.

Flashing
We identified and corrected areas that were not flashed properly.

The homeowner chose a new wood deck for this deck replacement project, so we used premium pressure-treated pine. We were able to extend the new deck out 2 ft. deeper than the original deck, which was 10 ft. deep. The homeowner loves the extra spaciousness of the new deck. 

To prevent leaks, we installed rolled rubber flashing where appropriate and flashed above the deck with vinyl flashing as well. We also secured the area around the back of the fireplace with caulking and repaired the home’s damaged siding. Not only does the client love the new deck, he loves the peace of mind that comes with using a true expert deck designer and builder.

What’s So Great About Archadeck’s Warranties?

macon deck builder near me

In the unlikely event that something goes wrong, you’ll know where to find us. Our first warranty covers our workmanship up to one year.
