Bartow County
Deck Builder in Cartersville, GA
Not quite seventeen miles down Joe Frank Harris Parkway. Cartersville is the second Bartow market and close enough to look at a yard the same week.
Roughly 27 minutes, 16.8 road miles via Joe Frank Harris Parkway Northwest and Cassville Road Southeast.
The second Bartow market
Cartersville is the bigger of the two Bartow towns we cover and the only one we reach without leaving the county. It runs to 10,161 homes and 24,074 people, and 5,464 of those households own the house they're in.
1990 houses, and what their decks are doing now
The house in the middle of Cartersville went up in 1990. Thirty-odd years on, a deck of that age is usually in its second life already: boards swapped, rails tightened, framing untouched. That's the point where a rebuild stops being optional, because the parts nobody replaced are the parts holding it up. Deck repair and replacement starts with the frame, and railings and stairs are where the age shows first.
Fencing across 10,161 Cartersville homes
With 10,161 homes, Cartersville runs from old in-town blocks to newer subdivision grid, and how that changes a fence run is worked out on the Cartersville fence page, with the material argument on the fence company page.
59.2 percent owner occupied, and squarely in the middle
Cartersville is 59.2 percent owner occupied, close to the middle of every town we cover. Neither a market of movers nor a market of long stays, which in practice means a patio cover here has to earn its place on resale as well as on comfort. Cedar posts and a real beam do that. A fabric shade doesn't.
The Etowah River and Pittman Lake
Two named bodies of water fall inside the Cartersville boundary: the Etowah River and Pittman Lake. Anywhere near either one, the difference between an open porch and a screened porch is the difference between using the room in July and looking at it. The Etowah also explains why the older parts of town sit where they do.
481 feet of relief, the steepest place in Bartow County
Cartersville rises from 675 feet to 1,156 feet inside the city boundary. That's 481 feet of change and the largest anywhere in Bartow. On the steeper end of that, a back yard is often unusable until somebody builds it a floor, and that's a retaining wall job before it is a deck job.
Cooper Branch, Draw Creek, Gourd Branch
Eleven named streams and branches cross the boundary here, among them Cooper Branch, Draw Creek and Gourd Branch. On a lot with that much moving water nearby, a walkway is a grade transition and a patio is a drainage decision. Patios, walkways and steps get set out to move water, then to look right.
Fire pits and where they land
Placement is decided on the lot with the seating plan in front of you. The build sits with hardscape and the design options are in the fire pit guide.

My Cartersville back yard drops off hard. Can anything be built on it?
Usually yes, and usually in two parts: a wall to hold the grade and a flat surface on top of it. Which one comes first depends on how much fall there's across the width of the yard.
How quickly can you look at a Cartersville job?
It's 16.8 road miles from the shop, the shortest run outside Adairsville itself, so a look is easy to schedule. Call and pick a time.
