Picture it finished

The Holly Springs backyard the whole street knows

Picture the Blackstone sizzling at the grill island while the pool fills with neighborhood kids. Parents lean on the deck rail above, plates in hand, calling the next round of cannonballs.

Down on the patio, the seat wall fills up as the lights come on. The builder-grade yard that came with the house is now where your neighbors spend Saturdays.

What the new yard gives you

  • Kids swim where you can see them from the grill.
  • Dinner goes from griddle to deck table in a few steps.
  • The seat wall gives everyone a place to sit.
  • New neighbors ask for your designer's number.

Older homes sit closer to Main Street and Holly Springs Parkway, near the Town Center. Established lots here often leave room for a larger project.

Holly Mill, Cedar Valley, Crestmont

These newer HOA subdivisions tend to reach the backyard stage a few years after move-in. We plan within community guidelines and your graded lot.

City permit office

Holly Springs issues its own permits through Community Development, with plans filed online through Cloudpermit. We submit yours and track the inspections.

Questions from Holly Springs homeowners

These come up often as Holly Springs families plan their yards.

Yes. The City of Holly Springs handles permits through its Community Development Department, and plans are submitted online through Cloudpermit. Parcels outside city limits go through Cherokee County. We confirm your office, and as your deck contractor or pool team, we manage the permit.

Plan on it. Harmony on the Lakes is an HOA community, and most newer Holly Springs subdivisions carry covenants too. We prepare scaled drawings and a 3D view, so your submission shows the full project.

Yes. A deck is often the quickest way to level ground behind a house on a slope. Footings go at least 12 inches deep under Georgia code, and as your Holly Springs deck contractor, we set each one to hold steady as the clay swells and shrinks.

Look for licensed landscape architects who plan your custom pool in 3D and a single contract for every trade. We've built about 60 pools since 2010, and each payment follows a finished phase.

The city has adopted the 2018 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code with Georgia amendments. Unincorporated Cherokee County requires a 5-foot pool barrier with a self-latching gate. As your Holly Springs pool contractor, we confirm the barrier your parcel needs and design the enclosure with the pool.

Usually the slope or the base is off. Red clay drains slowly, so a patio needs a compacted base and a fall of about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from your house. We design both, along with where the runoff goes next.

Yes. A licensed landscape architect draws your whole Holly Springs backyard in 3D, so every piece fits together. You can build it all at once or in phases.

Our kitchens run from about $5,000 to $100,000. Appliances, island size, and finishes decide where yours falls. The design consultation sets the exact price for your kitchen.
