What’s the average investment for a backyard?

Specialized Outdoor Projects
Not every project requires a complete backyard renovation. Georgia Outdoor Design also takes on focused improvements designed to elevate one area of your property while working with what is already there. These projects typically begin around $18K and can include fire pits and outdoor fireplaces, landscaping, pavilions, patios, straightforward retaining walls, lighting, and other stand-alone outdoor features. We still manage the planning, design, scheduling, trade coordination, and installation so the finished result feels intentional and connected to your home.

Full Backyard Renovations
For homeowners ready to completely transform their outdoor space, our full backyard renovations typically begin around $200K and can include swimming pools and spas, pool decking, patios, pavilions, outdoor kitchens, fire features, retaining walls, grading and drainage, landscaping, irrigation, lighting, turf or putting greens, utilities, masonry, electrical, plumbing, gas, permitting, material selections, vendor coordination, and on-site project management. We oversee the entire build so every element works together as one cohesive outdoor living environment.

Does Georgia Outdoor Design offer free estimates?

Yes! We offer complimentary pool and landscape design consultations any time of the year. During your initial consultation, Georgia Outdoor Master Designer Jack will come to your location to walk your property. Together you’ll discuss your needs, wants, dilemmas, and ultimate vision for your dream space. Jack will then offer preliminary design ideas and go over your projected budget. The goal is a custom design that will give you the best functioning space for your exterior environment. Book one today!

What’s your timeline turnaround for estimates?

Typically Georgia Outdoor Design delivers cost estimates between 7-10 business days and renderings take approximately 12-16 days depending on the project. This depends on seasonality and workload, call us and we can discuss it! When we give you a timeline, we hit it, unlike most contractors.
