Outdoor “Green” Living in Atlanta

These Atlanta homeowners came to us looking for an innovative and sustainable green design that included a large usable backyard space for their kids to play and a two-car covered garage addition. Their tight in-town lot and the city’s restrictive code requirements presented our design team with a number of challenges to overcome and they answered all of our clients’ desires in a dynamic fashion.

The classic-style flagstone patio offers plenty of space for relaxing and entertaining and the custom terraced stone walls and wide stone steps create a dramatic entrance to the expansive upper lawn area. This gorgeous natural environment offers plenty of room for outdoor recreation and a peaceful setting for reflection. The landscaping and black custom wrought iron fence frames the space beautifully and adds a layer of privacy while the mature trees canopy the outdoor living space.

The stacked stone two car garage features a tray-style “green roof” and walnut color garage doors and was built under the upper lawn space to maximize the total footprint of the backyard and blends seamlessly into the surrounding hardscape.
