What does outside
look like for you?
Start with the space you have in mind.
We'll help you work out the details.
More room for everyday living.
From a quiet morning coffee to a table full of friends. Choose pressure-treated timber, composite or hardwood for a deck that fits the way you live.

A little shade. A whole new space.
Give your patio a sense of place with a freestanding or attached pergola, sized to your home and the way the sun moves through your yard.
Freestanding · Attached · Cedar
Outside, with a little more comfort.
An open view, a sheltered seat and room to slow down. Explore screened and covered spaces that feel like a natural extension of your home.
Screened spaces · Covered living
Frame the view. Finish the space.
Wood, aluminum or cable railings bring the structure together. Find the right balance of privacy, open views and a finish that suits your home.

Ownership
David walks the job every day. It's his name on the sign.
Signed · David Serrano · Aries Outdoor Living
The Builder · § IV
A small shop.
One name on the sign.
Aries is a small Atlanta-based outdoor specialist — no general-contractor side jobs, no subcontracting the framing out. Every deck, pergola, and porch goes up under our own hands.
I've been in the trade fifteen years. Started framing houses, moved to decks and porches because the details are where the craft lives — flashing, footings, joist spacing, the stuff no one sees but everyone feels.
"If you can't put your name on it, don't build it. That's the standard."

"They built our deck to last forever. Two inspectors said it was over-engineered — that's exactly what we wanted."

"The screened porch is now the most-used room in the house."
"Pergola turned out better than the rendering. Straight talk on every material."
"Owner was on site every single day. Rare in this trade."
