Decksouth is a Marietta-based home construction company that specializes in custom outdoor living spaces. As industry leaders, we have helped bring to life over 2,000 backyard projects since 1998. At Decksouth, we combine classic craftsmanship with forward-thinking technology to create your ideal backyard oasis. CEO John Lea started Decksouth because he wanted to develop backyards that made a difference. He began by hand-picking employees that shared his vision, and today, Decksouth boasts a small but mighty team of passionate, dedicated, and skilled workers. We live by two simple principles: expert craftsmanship and excellent customer service. When we work with clients, we handle everything in-house, from the design to the construction. We are bringing your vision to life, which is why we keep clients involved every step of the way. We won’t start building until you are completely satisfied with the design. Decksouth is one of the highest-ranked full-service specialty builders not only in Georgia but across the nation. We have been awarded 21 national design awards by the North American Deck and Railing Association (NADRA) and ranked by Remodeling Magazine as one of the top specialty remodeling firms in the country on their 2018 RM550 list. Our intricate custom designs have helped us receive Best of Houzz awards from 2014-2018, as well as the People’s Choice Award by Trex Company, Inc. in 2017 for “Deck of the Year.” We have been designing and building decks, porches, pools, and patios for 23 years, and there is one thing that we have learned: An outdoor living space does more than add value to your home. It changes lives. Backyards are where vital decisions are made, relationships are rebuilt, and friendships are formed. It’s where you will create precious memories that last a lifetime. We would be honored to help you create that space.
