Elemental Design that Warms the Senses
Heartwood
For this project, our team transformed a suburban Atlanta backyard into a stunning modern outdoor living space, blending cutting-edge features with timeless materials to create a sophisticated retreat.
At the heart of the design is a custom-painted brick gas fireplace, handbuilt by our team, providing a warm and inviting focal point for year-round gatherings. Surrounding the fireplace is a saw-cut concrete patio, offering clean, modern lines that define the outdoor space. The fully equipped custom-framed outdoor kitchen features a painted brick veneer, a custom egg grill stand, a high-end outdoor refrigerator, stainless steel doors, and a custom countertop. This setup elevates outdoor entertaining with functionality and style.

“Working with Patrick and City Garden Company was likely the best experience with a contractor we have ever had. We had a LARGE project, and there were hiccups and weather issues and design changes and Patrick never missed a beat. The estimate was fair, the communication was great, and the attention to detail was off the charts. I almost hesitate to recommend, as they might be busy next time I need them! You cannot go wrong choosing City Garden Company for your next project.”
Adding both comfort and innovation, the custom aluminum pergola includes internal drainage, integrated power outlets, lighting, a ceiling fan, and app-controlled rotating louvers, ensuring usability in any weather. Concrete panel walkways with slate chip joints tie the design together, providing seamless movement throughout the space while creating a striking contrast of textures. A Corten weathering steel feature introduces an industrial-modern aesthetic, adding a sculptural touch to the overall design. To ensure the longevity of the space, the project included extensive drainage solutions beneath the patio, designed to handle rainwater efficiently and protect the hardscape.
This project exemplifies how thoughtful landscape design can transform a backyard into a functional, stylish, and enduring outdoor living space tailored to modern lifestyles in Atlanta.
