Elegant Pergolas in Johns Creek and Atlanta

Pergolas are more than just shade structures—they create inviting outdoor spaces perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Whether freestanding or attached, our pergolas are constructed with pressure-treated wood, cedar, or composite materials, and often paired with climbing vines, lighting, or retractable canopies. We’ve installed elegant pergolas in Johns Creek and Atlanta, transforming ordinary patios into stunning garden features.

Wood and Composite Fencing in Sandy Springs & Beyond

A well-built fence defines property boundaries, enhances security, and complements your landscape design. We offer both traditional wood and long-lasting composite options, depending on your preferences for appearance, durability, and maintenance. Posts are securely anchored in concrete, panels are precision-cut, and gates are seamlessly integrated. In Sandy Springs, clients often request composite fencing for its clean look and resistance to rot and pests.

Privacy fences provide seclusion, safety, and a sense of tranquility.

Constructed from wood or composite slats with minimal gaps, these fences can reach 6-8 feet in height and often include decorative trim or lattice toppers. We use corrosion-resistant fasteners, concrete-set posts, and level lines to ensure each panel stands the test of time.

Homes in Johns Creek and Roswell benefit greatly from the added security and peacefulness our privacy fences provide. According to HomeAdvisor, a professionally installed privacy fence can increase a home’s value by 1-10%, and homeowners typically recoup 50-70% of installation costs when they sell.

Landscape Stairs

Landscape stairs are essential for navigating sloped yards while enhancing visual interest. These are often built from timber, flagstone, or concrete, and integrated into hillside designs or garden paths.

Our team considers drainage, tread/riser dimensions, and aesthetic flow when building stairs to ensure safety and beauty. When it comes to outdoor carpentry in north metro Atlanta building custom decks, porches and fences, The Rick’s Group delivers quality craftsmanship that blends seamlessly with your landscape.

Retaining Wall & Landscaping Steps

When elevation changes intersect with retaining walls, integrated steps are crucial. These steps are built from the same materials as the retaining wall—such as modular block, stone, or timber—to maintain a consistent look. Proper compaction, drainage planning, and reinforcement ensure the steps remain stable and secure.

Handrails and Safety Railings

We install sturdy handrails and safety railings for decks, stairs, and porches. Using wood, metal, or composite materials, we meet local safety codes while ensuring an elegant finish. Handrails not only protect but also enhance your project’s appearance.

Custom Gates and Enclosures

We create custom wood and composite gates and enclosures to complement your fence or deck design. Whether you need a decorative garden gate or a secure enclosure for HVAC units or trash bins, our carpentry is precise and cohesive. Each structure is built to fit, with hardware that resists rust and sagging.

Garden Trellises or Lattice Panels

Add charm and function to your garden with trellises or lattice panels. These vertical structures support climbing plants, divide outdoor spaces, or screen off utility areas. We design them as stand-alone pieces or integrated into pergolas or fences for a unified look.

Outdoor Carpentry for Hardscaping

Our outdoor carpentry team collaborates closely with our hardscaping experts to blend wood elements into patios, walkways, retaining walls, and drainage solutions. Examples include timber borders around patios, wood stairs adjoining stone walls, or custom planters built into seating walls. In Alpharetta and Dunwoody, this fusion of natural materials creates timeless outdoor living spaces.
