Outdoor Living Design & Build in North Metro Atlanta
Outdoor Spaces Built Around the Way You Live.
Your whole backyard, from patios, walls and kitchens to planting and lighting, designed as one plan and built by one team, backed by a 5-year hardscape warranty.
One Plan. One Team. One Finished Backyard.
Most backyards get built a piece at a time: a patio one year, a wall the next, landscaping whenever there’s budget left. The result rarely fits together. Design-build starts with the whole yard: how you’ll use it, how water moves across it, and how each space connects. Then one team builds it.
At Proterra Landscape, the designer and the crew work for the same company, so nothing gets lost between the plan and the build. You get one contract, one schedule and one point of contact from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.
What a Full Project Can Include
Hardscape: Paver patios, walkways and driveways, retaining walls and steps.
Outdoor Living: Outdoor kitchens, fire pits and fireplaces, pergolas and other structures, decks and composite decking.
Landscape: Planting and garden beds, sod, irrigation and landscape lighting.
Site Work: Grading, drainage and creek beds that keep water away from your patio and home.
Proudly serving homeowners throughout North Metro Atlanta, including Alpharetta, Milton, Johns Creek, Roswell, Cumming, Suwanee and surrounding areas.
