Serving Hoschton from Jefferson

Turning a Hoschton builder lot into a backyard

Sugar Hill Outdoors is an outdoor living contractor based in Jefferson, a short drive up GA-124, and Hoschton is part of our regular service area. New lots here are cut from Piedmont clay and often slope off the pad. Our licensed landscape architect reads that slope and the way water moves, and you review the full plan in 3D.

For new Hoschton homes

A real backyard for your new Hoschton home

Start with a patio and deck, then add the grill and pool when you're ready.

Patios past the builder slab

A paver patio extends the builder slab into room for dinner and guests. In Twin Lakes, we prepare the plans for HOA review.

Paver patios
Spacious wood deck overlooking a wooded backyard

Decks at back-door height

Step out the high back door onto a Trex or pressure-treated deck, with a Duxbak dry room below. Your Hoschton deck builder files the permit.

Decks & under-deck systems
Brick pizza oven and outdoor kitchen with stone paving and bar seating

Outdoor kitchens planned from day one

Cook at a Belgard grill island with a Big Green Egg or Blackstone station. Your design saves its spot beside the patio for later.

Outdoor kitchens

A pool when you're ready

A custom pool and pool deck sized to your new yard. Your Hoschton pool builder checks whether the City's Land Disturbance permit applies.

Picture it finished

Your Hoschton yard, finished all the way out

The back door opens onto a wide deck, with steps down to a paver patio and a grill island. Past it, the pool sits where the builder left bare sod.

Neighbors from Twin Lakes wander over when they hear the splashing. The grandkids swim until dark, and dinner comes off the grill for everyone.

How the new house feels now

  • Morning coffee on the deck above the pool.
  • Birthday parties move from a rented room to your backyard.
  • The grill island keeps the cook close to the pool.
  • The kids' friends ask to come over every weekend.

Neighborhoods we plan for

Where you live in Hoschton changes the plan

A Hoschton mailing address can sit in the city or in one of four counties, and the lots and rules change from one part of town to the next.

Twin Lakes off GA-53

Builder lots here sit around two lakes, with an HOA reviewing changes. We draw your patio to the graded pad and prepare the plans for approval.

Wehunt Meadows

These newer Davidson Homes lots off Grand Wehunt Drive start as open sod. A first patio usually needs a step or low wall where the pad ends.

Deaton Creek and Reunion

Deaton Creek is a gated 55+ community whose HOA handles the lawns, and Reunion surrounds a golf course. We keep projects compact and coordinate gate access for crews.

In town off Broad Street

Hoschton's original streets, like Broad, Bell, White, and New, hold older homes on established lots. Your project fits around mature trees and older drainage, with tighter access for crews.

Peachtree Road subdivisions

Deer Creek Farms and Quail Run date to the 1990s, with mature yards. Here we often replace worn concrete and add a patio or wall to an existing layout.

GA-332 toward Pendergrass

Larger parcels line this rolling corridor, and the road crosses several creeks. Creek-side lots in unincorporated Jackson County keep a 75-foot stream buffer, so we site hardscape upslope.

Permits by address

One Hoschton ZIP code, four counties

ZIP code 30548 reaches into Jackson, Gwinnett, Hall, and Barrow counties. Inside city limits, permits run through the City of Hoschton's CitizenServe portal, and grading work can need a separate Land Disturbance and Development Permit. We confirm your office by parcel and file the paperwork for you.

Why Sugar Hill Outdoors

Why Hoschton families choose one team

Our crews have designed and built backyards around North Georgia since 1997.

Two landscape architects on staff

Georgia law guards the title of landscape architect. One of ours draws your yard, and you keep the permit-ready set.

Every trade, one contract

Grading, masonry, electrical, and planting all fall to us through a residential and light commercial license, and you call one person.

Belgard Master Craftsman status

Belgard grants it only after a documented body of completed hardscape work, and we were the first company in Atlanta to earn it.

Payments follow finished phases

Each payment comes due once a phase is complete, so your money follows progress you can see in the yard.

Hoschton permits, lots, and pricing

Answers to what Hoschton homeowners ask before a project starts.

It depends on the parcel. Addresses inside city limits file with the City of Hoschton through its CitizenServe portal. The 30548 ZIP code also covers parts of Jackson, Gwinnett, Hall, and Barrow counties, and those parcels go to the county. We look up your parcel and file with the correct office.

In Jackson County, walls over 4 feet, measured from footing to top, need a permit. A shorter wall also needs one when it holds up a driveway, a slope, or a structure. We engineer every wall above 4 feet.

Yes. New Hoschton homes often sit high off the back door, so the space below can stay dry with a Duxbak system or become a finished room with a ceiling, lights, and fans. As your Hoschton deck contractor, we pull the permit for either.

Usually once the patio and deck are in. Your design lays out the full yard, so when your pool contractor starts, the pool connects to what's already built.

The City of Hoschton runs a Land Disturbance and Development Permit separate from building permits. It can apply to grading, retaining walls, pool digs, and driveways. We check whether your project needs one during design.

Yes. Both communities have homeowners associations, so expect your plans to go through review before work starts. We send complete, to-scale drawings, so the board has what it needs to decide.

Georgia's pool code sets the floor: a barrier at least 48 inches tall around any pool deeper than 24 inches, with self-closing, self-latching gates. Your Hoschton pool contractor confirms the permit office for your parcel and builds the barrier to that code.

Paver patios begin around $4,000 to $5,000, and your deck contractor prices a pressure-treated deck at $32 to $48 per square foot. Custom pools typically start at $200 per square foot. An outdoor kitchen ranges from about $5,000 to $100,000. Your consultation sets the number for your lot.
