Outdoor Living Built for Comfort and Use

Patio and pergola construction for homes and backyards in Cartersville, Georgia.

If you want a place to sit outside, grill, or host friends in Cartersville, a patio gives you a solid, level surface that handles foot traffic and weather. A pergola adds structure and shade, making the space more comfortable during the day and visually connected to your home. Reed Construction Services, LLC builds both, either as standalone projects or combined into one outdoor living area that fits your lot and lifestyle.

This service includes designing and building concrete patios that are graded for drainage and finished to your preferred texture. Pergolas are built with pressure-treated lumber and designed to match your home's style and outdoor layout. They work well as an extension of a deck, a standalone feature over a patio, or a shaded transition between your yard and back door. Reed Construction Services, LLC customizes the design to fit your space and budget, whether that means a simple slab and post structure or a more detailed build with integrated seating or planter areas.

If you are ready to add a patio or pergola to your property in Cartersville, reach out to Reed Construction Services, LLC to discuss your ideas and get a project estimate.

Graded Slabs and Stable Framing for Daily Use

When you schedule a patio or pergola build in Cartersville, the crew starts by marking the area, grading the soil, and preparing the base for the concrete pour or post footings. The patio is poured with a slight slope to prevent water from pooling, and the surface is finished with a broom texture or trowel depending on your preference. If a pergola is part of the project, the posts are set in concrete footings, and the beams and rafters are framed to provide shade and structure without blocking airflow.

After the work is complete, you will notice a clean, level patio that stays dry after rain and a pergola that provides shade without making the space feel enclosed. The structure is anchored securely and built to handle wind and weather without shifting or sagging.

Reed Construction Services, LLC designs the layout to fit your yard and home, whether that means a patio that connects to your deck or a pergola that frames a seating area. This service does not include decorative pavers or custom staining, but it does deliver a functional outdoor space built to code and ready for daily use.

What Homeowners Ask About Outdoor Builds

Homeowners in Cartersville often ask about design options, materials, and how long the build takes. Here are answers to the most common questions about patio and pergola construction.

What is the difference between a patio and a deck?
A patio is a concrete slab poured at ground level, while a deck is a raised wooden platform. Patios are more durable and require less maintenance, but decks work better on sloped lots or when you need elevation.
How much shade does a pergola provide?
Pergolas provide partial shade by filtering sunlight through open rafters. They do not block all sun, but they reduce heat and glare while keeping the space open and airy.
Can you add a pergola to an existing patio?
Yes, a pergola can be built over an existing patio as long as the slab is stable and the post footings are set properly. This is a common way to add shade and structure to an outdoor space.
What size patio do you need for outdoor furniture?
A typical dining table with chairs needs at least ten by twelve feet of space. Reed Construction Services, LLC can design the patio to fit your furniture layout and how you plan to use the area.
How long does a pergola last?
A pergola built with pressure-treated lumber and set in concrete footings can last many years with basic maintenance. Regular sealing and inspection of the posts help prevent rot and extend the life of the structure.
