Welcome to Atlanta Garden Structures!
We are a specialty carpentry company, working to create beautiful wooden garden structures to grace you home, garden, and outdoor living spaces.
The Deck That Started it all......... Time: AD 1998, my Sophomomore year of high school, Place: My parents new house, badly in need of a deck to cover a swampy area left by the builder.
Result: A college degree, two foriegn languages, and a beautiful deck with a pergola to match.
Because my mother the designer was in on it, and the labor was pretty cheap, we ended up with over 1500 SF of deck. Yes, you read that correctly. 1500 square feet. But considering 4 kids, a dog and two cats, it was a worthwhile investment. It was like a whole outside room. Dinners, shrimp boils, my graduation party, (and a few others when the folks were out of town on business - don't tell!)
Since then, I have built decks in 3 states, put a pergola in the atlanta home and garden show, and introduced my own product line of custom built cypress pergolas and kits, made in my home state, and shipped wherever you would like.
This kit ----->was built for Home Depot Landscape services for the Atlanta Home and garden show this past February. It is custom made from select Bald Cypress lumber, and is completely immune to rot. It can be stained or sealed to your liking, and will provide a beautiful centerpiece to your garden, pool deck, or outdoor living space.
This model is currently up for sale for $4200.00 installed at your home.
Some other decks that we have done include
this deck------>that was built for Mrs. M. Richardson, of Gautier, MS. I spent a year doing storm cleanup and construction in my home state after Katrina, and this was one of our first projects down on the coast. 6x6 upright timbers, custom milled railings, and stairs reclaimed from storm debris were used on this deck. I also only shot myself with a nail gun once the entire project. Don't worry, I'm insured :)
Recently, I did a deck addition in Marietta, near the historic square. The addition connects an upstairs deck with an existing hot tub platform in the back yard.
The clients loved it, and will gladly provide their names as a reference if you would like.
6x6 upright timbers, 2x10 joisting, and concrete footings will make this deck last for years to come. Hey - if you're nice, they might have you over for a BBQ - I hear John is quite the grill chef.So,
there are a few of our projects, and I will be sure to put up a few more. I contract with the landscape design firm of Botanica Atlanta and currently have a large number of upcoming projects with them, including a possible (But I'm reaaaaly hoping) filming by HGTV! The house will feature two custome cypress entrance pergolas, and a custom-made cypress gazebo to match. We are currently on bended knee with the HOA out there to let us in the door, (we promised to behave as best we could) and hopefully will get started soon with foundations and layout. Pictures to come.
