Open Patios in Atlanta
Where Craftsmanship
Meets Open Air
Level ground, laid stone, room to gather. Open patios designed and built by one team for homeowners across metro Atlanta and the surrounding suburbs.
Custom Open Patios
Designed For How You Live
At Atlanta Porch & Patio, we design and build custom open patios that give your home more room to breathe. Our team listens to how you actually want to use the space. Then we draw a plan that fits your yard, your architecture, and your budget.
Our design-to-build approach keeps everything under one roof. Licensed contractors handle the design, the material selection, the permits, and the build. You never end up standing between a designer and a builder, translating one to the other. We build with materials chosen to hold up through Georgia summers and winters.

Made for Patio Season
Georgia gives you most of the year outdoors. Shade structures, ceiling fans, and a covered patio section at one end stretch the season on both ends.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an open patio?
An open patio is a ground-level outdoor living space with no roof or walls over it. It sits open to the sky, which keeps the yard feeling larger and lets in more light than a covered patio. Many homeowners pair the two, leaving most of the patio space in the open air and roofing one section for shade and rain cover.
Do I need a permit for an open patio?
Sometimes. It depends on the size, the location on your lot, and whether the project includes retaining walls, electrical, or gas lines. Our team pulls the permits and handles code compliance so you never have to chase paperwork.
Can you build a rooftop or upstairs patio?
Yes. We design and build elevated structures, including a rooftop patio over a garage or an upstairs patio off a second-floor room. A rooftop build takes extra structural planning, and our in-house designers handle that from the start.
What materials do you use for open patios?
We work with natural stone, flagstone, pavers, brick, poured concrete, and custom masonry. During your consultation, we match the material to your home’s exterior, your maintenance preferences, and how much sun the area gets.
Can you connect the patio to my house with new patio doors?
Yes. Widening an opening or adding patio doors is a common part of these projects. A wider opening makes the indoor and outdoor rooms feel like one space instead of two.
What sets Atlanta Porch & Patio apart from other patio contractors?
Our designers and builders work on the same team, so nothing gets lost between the plan and the build. You get one project manager, one point of contact, and top-notch workmanship backed by some of the strongest warranties in the Atlanta area. Clients tell us the finish details are what stand out most.
What areas do you serve?
We serve homeowners throughout the Atlanta area, including Buckhead, Sandy Springs, Grant Park, Marietta, East Cobb, Alpharetta, Milton, Roswell, Johns Creek, Druid Hills, and Decatur. Visit our Service Areas page for the full list.
How long does an open patio project take?
Most projects run a few weeks from groundbreaking to final walkthrough. Design and permitting happen before that. Your project manager gives you a schedule up front and keeps you posted at each stage.
What does an open patio cost in Atlanta?
Cost depends on square footage, materials, grading, and the features you add. Stone masonry, fire pits, and built-in seating all move the number. We walk your yard, talk through the plan, and give you a real number in writing before any work begins.
Can you add lighting, sound, or heat to the patio?
Yes. Recessed lighting, string lighting, and path lights extend the hours you can use the space. Outdoor speakers let you play live music or a playlist without dragging a speaker outside. Ceiling fans, heaters, and a fire feature push patio season into November. We run the electrical during construction, which costs far less than retrofitting it later.
What furniture works best on an open patio?
Plan the furniture before the build so the slab gets sized correctly. A dining set needs roughly three feet of clearance on every side so chairs can pull out. Picnic tables and long farm tables suit families who host big groups. Lounge seating around fire pits works better for quiet evenings. We map the furniture into the design so nothing feels cramped once it arrives.
Can you build a patio like the ones at my favorite Atlanta restaurants?
That request comes up all the time. Homeowners show us photos of a restaurant patio, a rooftop bar, or a beltline patio they liked and ask for something similar at home. We pull out the parts that made the space work, usually the lighting, the layout, and the material choices, then scale them to a backyard. A patio along the eastside beltline might use string lights over a low stone wall, and that idea translates well to a residential lot.
