Why decks & outdoor living works the way it does in Lake Burton
About Lake Burton, GA. Lake Burton is a 2,775-acre Georgia Power reservoir in Rabun County and the most exclusive mountain-lake market in north Georgia, with a multi-generational ownership pattern of Atlanta and Athens families on shoreline parcels that rarely change hands. The buyer pool is dominated by long-tenure Georgia families and high-net-worth Atlanta households building generational compounds.
What it means for decks & outdoor living. Shoreline construction here runs through Georgia Power's Lake Burton shoreline management — dock permits, buffer rules, and shoreline-use classifications all bind design, and lot scarcity means most projects are major remodels and tear-down rebuilds rather than greenfield builds. Rabun County permitting governs land-side work, and steep cove lots produce the same foundation, retaining wall, and access-drive cost dynamics as the Highlands-Cashiers market. Typical work is high-end custom lake homes, generational-compound additions (guest houses, bunk houses), and deep luxury remodels.

What We Do
The Backyard You Actually Live In
Upstate humidity and freeze-thaw eats wood decks alive. Composite and PVC capstock from Timbertech and Trex — backed by 25-year manufacturer warranties — give you a deck you don't re-stain, don't watch warp, and don't replace in seven years. Multi-tier wraparound, pool surround with slip-rated capstock, freestanding garden retreats — we design for how you'll actually use it, not just the floor plan above.
- Wraparound · multi-tier · pool surround · freestanding · screened — every configuration
- Timbertech & Trex Pro premium materials with 25-year manufacturer warranties
- Hidden fasteners · slip-rated pool capstock · integrated lighting and built-in seating
- Typical builds $20K–$40K+ — luxury features and pool surrounds at the higher end

Our Process
How We Approach
Decks & Outdoor Living
Design for the Way You'll Use It
Hosting 30 people? Pool surround that won't get slick after a storm? Sunset-facing wraparound off the primary suite? We design level breaks, traffic flow, and capstock color around how the deck will actually live — not just the floor plan above it.
Premium Materials, Locked In
Timbertech and Trex composite or PVC capstock — we pre-order based on supplier lead times so your job doesn't sit half-framed waiting for color. Hidden fasteners, hot-dipped joists where code requires, and railings selected to your sightlines.
Build, Inspect, Walk It With You
Footings to spec. Framing inspected before decking goes down. Final walkthrough where you actually use the space — sit at the table, walk the railing, test the lighting. We don't pack up until you're standing on a deck you'd put on a postcard.
