Your Sandy Springs Outdoor Living Contractor

Sloped lots, clay soil and drainage are the real challenges in most Sandy Springs yards. We plan for them from the start, so your patio, walls and outdoor living space stay level, dry and solid for years.

At Proterra Landscape, one team handles design, permits and construction, using premium materials from Techo-Bloc, Belgard, Unilock, Keystone and Tremron.

Building Outdoor Spaces in Sandy Springs

Sandy Springs is wooded and hilly, with the Chattahoochee along its western and northern edges. Trees are protected here: any tree 18 inches or larger needs a removal permit, residential lots must keep 35% tree canopy, and a tree with a quarter of its root zone disturbed counts as removed. We design patios and walls around the trees you have.

The city's permit rules are specific. Walls over 4 feet need an indemnification form, and walls 6 feet and up need a sealed engineer's design. Outdoor kitchens and fireplaces need a residential permit. Adding 1,000 square feet or more of hard surface triggers a land disturbance permit. Within 2,000 feet of the river, a 150-foot setback applies to pavers, concrete and gravel too. We handle it all.

Our Project Five in Sandy Springs runs a long Belgard patio along a brick home and curves out into the trees, ending at a round stone fire pit.
