What this looks like in Highlands
About Highlands, NC. Highlands is a small Macon County town sitting at over 4,100 feet of elevation, the highest incorporated town east of the Mississippi and the centerpiece of the Highlands-Cashiers luxury mountain market. The year-round population is small, but the seasonal population multiplies several times over with second-home owners from Atlanta, Birmingham, and Florida.
What it means for outdoor-living owners. Macon County permitting and the Town of Highlands both apply depending on parcel, and the town's own watershed and steep-slope rules carry weight on hillside parcels above town. Construction season is genuinely short, and getting concrete, drywall, and finish materials up the mountain in winter is an operational consideration the budget needs to absorb. Common work is high-end custom retreats in clubs like Highlands Country Club and Cullasaja, deep luxury remodels of older mountain homes, and stone-and-timber outdoor-living additions.
Who You Are
Your house is great. The backyard isn't yet. Pool's in or planned. You want wraparound, multi-tier composite decks, screened porches, outdoor kitchens — and you want it to survive Upstate humidity and freeze-thaw without you re-staining a board every two years.
What You're Solving For
What Success Looks Like
Three outcomes that actually matter. Not features. Not corporate-speak.
An outdoor footprint that holds 30 people
Multi-tier deck planning with deliberate level breaks, traffic flow, and gathering zones — not just one big slab off the back of the house.
Never re-stain another deck again
Composite (Timbertech / Trex) and PVC capstock with 25-year manufacturer warranties. Color stability through Upstate sun and humidity that wood can't match.
Pool deck that flows into the pool — safely
Slip-rated PVC capstock around the water. Heat-resistant material on the path. Integrated under-deck lighting and screen rooms designed for actual humid-summer use.
