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.

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.

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.
