Why Brookhaven Deck Building Is Different
Brookhaven combines the accessibility of being inside Atlanta's Perimeter with the charm of established neighborhoods that developed during Atlanta's mid-century expansion. Historic Brookhaven, centered around Capital City Country Club, features homes from the 1920s-1950s where deck additions must respect period architecture. Ashford Park and Lynwood Park bring diverse housing stock with opportunities for modern outdoor living. The city incorporated in 2012, establishing its own building department that provides more responsive local service than Fulton County. Peachtree Creek winds through Brookhaven, and properties along the creek require special consideration for grading and drainage. We've built decks throughout Brookhaven's neighborhoods, from modest renovations in established areas to substantial additions on larger lots near Oglethorpe University. The dense tree canopy creates shade conditions similar to East Cobb—composite decking performs significantly better than wood in these environments.
