Working in Suwanee

Your Suwanee backyard, rebuilt for how you live

Sugar Hill Outdoors is an outdoor living contractor Suwanee GA homeowners hire when a 15- or 20-year-old deck or wall is due for replacement. Much of the city grew between 2000 and 2015. A licensed landscape architect redesigns the whole yard, and you see it in 3D first.

For Suwanee families

The backyard upgrade Suwanee families want

Pools, decks, and outdoor kitchens in Suwanee, built to upgrade the yard that came with a 2000s house.

Custom pools off the back door

Your pool builder fences and gates it, then adds a spa or waterfall. River Club lots near the Chattahoochee get a river corridor check.

Custom pools

New decks with rooms below

Trex or wood replaces the builder deck, with a dry room below. Your deck builder files the city permit for decks over 30 inches.

Decks & under-deck systems
Outdoor kitchen and pizza oven beneath a timber pergola

Outdoor kitchens by the pool

A stacked stone Belgard grill island by the deck stairs keeps the cook in the conversation. Add a Big Green Egg or Blackstone.

Outdoor kitchens
Stone retaining walls and broad steps joining a paver patio to the house

New walls, more usable yard

Block walls replace the old timber walls from the building boom and give you level space to use. We engineer anything over 4 feet.

Picture it finished

Your Suwanee backyard with the neighbors over

The builder deck is gone, and a new composite deck steps down to a paver patio and a fenced pool. At the foot of the stairs, the stacked stone grill island is already hot.

Families from the next cul-de-sac bring the kids and a cooler. The adults settle in on the deck or in the dry room below it, and the party moves between the pool and the grill until dark.

What the weekend looks like now

  • The kids race from the pool to the grill for burgers.
  • Shade and ceiling fans wait in the room under the deck.
  • The new block wall frames a level lawn for games.
  • The neighbors start treating Saturday at your place as a standing plan.

Around Suwanee

Suwanee areas and the rules that come with them

From the river to Suwanee Creek, where your lot sits changes the checklist.

Explore Suwanee on the map

The River Club

Homes in this guard-gated golf community along the Chattahoochee went up from 2003 to 2017. Your pool builder schedules gate access, prepares drawings for community review, and checks the river corridor map.

Along Suwanee Creek

Lots near the creek and its greenway can include wetlands and protected stream buffers. We locate those lines from your survey and set the patio beyond them.

Neighborhoods from the 2000s

Decks and timber walls from Suwanee's building boom are reaching replacement age together, so it makes sense to replace both in one plan.

City of Suwanee permits

Suwanee requires a permit for decks over 30 inches high and accessory buildings over 200 square feet. As your deck contractor, we prepare the drawings and file with the city.

Suwanee project questions

What Suwanee homeowners ask before a deck, wall, or patio project.

Yes, once the deck stands more than 30 inches above grade. Suwanee also publishes its own residential deck requirements. As your Suwanee deck contractor, we draw your deck to code, submit the plans to the city, and schedule each inspection.

Yes. Many Suwanee lots from the 2000s have timber walls at the end of their service life. We replace them with block walls on a compacted base with drainage, and walls over 4 feet are engineered. Suwanee publishes its own retaining wall requirements, and we build to them.

Look for a team that designs in 3D and handles every trade on one contract. Our licensed landscape architects plan your custom pool around the lot, and we've built about 60 since 2010, with milestone payments.

Our deck builders are certified installers for Trex, MoistureShield, and Deckorators. Your landscape architect shows composite and pressure-treated options side by side in 3D, so you can compare colors and railings before choosing.

Yes. The City of Suwanee publishes its own pool permitting requirements, and Georgia's barrier code calls for a fence at least 48 inches tall with self-closing, self-latching gates. As your Suwanee pool contractor, we draw the pool and barrier to both and file with the city.

Yes, with the corridor in mind. Lots within 2,000 feet of the river fall under Georgia's Metropolitan River Protection Act. As your pool contractor, we check your lot on the corridor map, place your patio or pool to fit, and prepare drawings for community review.

A Duxbak seal under the deck boards keeps rain from running through, so the room below stays dry after storms. Add a ceiling with lights and fans, and the space under your Suwanee deck becomes a second outdoor room.

A pressure-treated deck with matching railings runs $32 to $48 per square foot. Switch to composite decking with pressure-treated railings, and the range becomes $48 to $60 per square foot. After your design consultation, you get a firm price for the deck you want.
