Custom Design

Professional Deck Design Services

A great deck starts with great design. Before a single board gets cut, we work with you to create a deck plan that fits your yard, matches your home's style, and gives you the outdoor living space you've been dreaming about.

At DECKsclusive, we don't do cookie-cutter decks. Every home in Acworth is different - different lot shapes, different elevations, different architectural styles. Your deck should be designed specifically for your property, not copied from a generic template.

Our design process starts with understanding how you want to use your deck. Are you planning big cookouts with friends? Want a quiet spot for morning coffee? Need space for the kids to play? Those answers shape everything about your deck design. Call (678) 619-9029 to schedule a design consultation.

Design Process

How Our Design Process Works

1

Site Visit

We come to your Acworth home, measure your space, check the grade, and note any obstacles like trees, utilities, or drainage issues.

2

Needs Discussion

We talk about how you'll use your deck, what features you want, your style preferences, and your budget range.

3

Initial Concept

We create an initial design concept based on our conversation and site assessment. This is where your deck starts taking shape.

4

Revisions

We review the design together and make changes until you're happy. Want to add a pergola? Move the stairs? We'll adjust.

5

Final Plans

Once approved, we create detailed construction plans that include all dimensions, materials, and specifications.

6

Permit Ready

Our plans are detailed enough for Cherokee County or Cobb County permit approval. No extra engineering needed for most projects.

Design Elements

Features We Design Into Your Deck

A deck is more than just a flat platform. The right features turn a basic deck into an outdoor room you'll use all year long. Here are some elements we commonly incorporate into our deck designs:

Multi-level layouts - Create distinct zones for dining, lounging, and cooking
Built-in seating - Benches along the perimeter save space and add style
Pergolas and shade structures - Protection from the Georgia sun
Integrated planters - Bring greenery onto your deck
Fire pit areas - Extend your deck use into cooler months
Outdoor kitchen zones - Space for grilling and prep
Privacy screens - Block neighbors' views tastefully
Lighting plans - Enjoy your deck after dark

Design Considerations

What We Consider in Your Design

Your Home's Architecture

Your deck should look like it belongs with your house, not like an afterthought. We design decks that complement your home's architectural style, whether that's a traditional ranch, a craftsman, or a modern contemporary.

Traffic Flow

How will people move from inside to outside? Where will they naturally want to walk? Good deck design anticipates traffic patterns and creates intuitive flow between spaces.

Sun and Shade

We note which direction your deck faces and how the sun tracks across it throughout the day. This affects where you might want shade structures, seating areas, and plantings.

Views and Privacy

What do you want to see from your deck? What do you want to hide? We design sight lines intentionally, framing good views and blocking unwanted ones.
