Some homeowners may have been skittish about the amount of work required to renovate the outdoor space at their new home. But, newlyweds Priyanka and Nick had a clear vision for their deck patio, walkways, outdoor kitchen and entire outdoor living space. Our dream was to create a place for making memories, hosting friends, and enjoying all seasons with our fur kids and future children. Archadeck, with Mark, Cinda, and their team, turned our vision into a stunning and durable reality, making the entire process seamless. We’re thrilled with the beautiful outdoor space they’ve created for us.”
The house had an ancient, rotted, wood deck and an old concrete patio with cracks. Priyanka really wanted to create a space that would be great for her dogs, future kids and for entertaining their family. She wanted a peaceful space to enjoy a cup of coffee each morning or glass of wine in the evening.
Cinda and Mark Salazar at Archadeck Alpharetta spent hours with their clients then expanded the deck using sustainable materials that are low maintenance and will last many more years than wood. For the decking she chose Timbertech PVC decking that is cooler to the touch and very pet friendly. For the railing, she went with Timbertech Impression Rail Express aluminum railing. Low voltage lighting was added for a tranquil vibe in the evening.
For the front of the Alpharetta home, the homeowners wanted to create some curb appeal. The lot had a very large slope to the road with old, overgrown bushes. The Archadeck team removed those and built two levels of stone retaining walls adding a stone walkway for easy access from the street to the backyard. “We replaced the sidewalk from the driveway to the house with a nice stone walkway that leads to a garden and fountain area. This added a third space for relaxation and reflecting,” explains Cinda.
“This was truly a dream job and dream homeowners for us. They had a very clear vision of how they wanted to use the space and were open to suggestions we had for materials and design. It was a partnership of trust and listening for both sides, which is how we like to approach all of our projects.”
