Decks & Fences in Cherokee County, GA
The four Cherokee towns we cover were all built between 2005 and 2009. Nothing out here needs replacing yet, and we're not going to tell you otherwise.
Cherokee sits in a 48 to 62 minute band, from Canton at 35.3 road miles to Ball Ground at 46.1.
22,543 owner-occupied homes, nearly all of them recent
Only Cobb has more homes in it for us than Cherokee: 37,126, with 22,543 of them owner occupied. All four towns went up inside the same five years.
2005 to 2009, and why the usual argument doesn't apply
Woodstock and Canton both sit at 2005, Ball Ground at 2007 and Holly Springs at 2009. There's nothing in this county old enough to be at the end of its service life, so we're not going to knock on the door and tell you your deck is failing. What's true is that these are first-deck, first-fence and first-patio yards: building new instead of repairing, and picking a surface with a clean sheet.
Woodstock, Canton, Holly Springs and Ball Ground
Woodstock, Canton and Holly Springs are where most of our Cherokee work is. Ball Ground is the small one, 982 owner-occupied homes, and we go there too. It's 46.1 road miles out, the furthest point in the county, and at 85.2 percent owner occupied one of the most settled places we work. It's also the only town we cover with no named stream inside its boundary at all.
231 feet to 396 feet
Relief across Cherokee runs 231 feet at Woodstock to 396 at Canton, with Ball Ground at 320 and Holly Springs at 293. That's a consistently sloped county with no flat end, and on new subdivisions the cut and fill from construction usually leaves a steep back third. A retaining wall is often the first thing we build on a Cherokee County yard, before any deck or patio can go in.
The Little River, one reservoir, and two places with nothing named
The Little River sits inside Woodstock and Hickory Log Creek Reservoir inside Canton. Holly Springs and Ball Ground carry no named water at all. That makes the case for a screened porch genuinely stronger in the two northern towns than in the two southern ones. Blankets Creek, Noonday Creek and Avery Creek set the drainage lines our patios and walkways have to follow.
Four towns, all of them subdivision
The layout is modern in all four Cherokee towns, which makes for very predictable fence work: consistent run lengths, square corners and a standard gate count. Predictable is good. It means our estimate and the finished job match. Fence detail town by town: Woodstock, Canton and Holly Springs.
55.6 to 85.2 percent owner occupied
Canton sits at 55.6 percent and Ball Ground at 85.2, with Woodstock and Holly Springs between them. A high ownership county full of new houses with bare yards is the strongest pergola and patio cover profile there is, because there's nothing out there yet and the people deciding are the people staying.
Cherokee yards, start to finish
Fire pits come in with the hardscape. What we have built is on the gallery, the counties we run to are on the service areas page, and the contact page is where a job starts.

My house is only fifteen years old. Do I need any of this?
Probably not repair work. What we mostly get called for in Cherokee is the thing the builder didn't include, which is usually a bigger deck, a patio or a wall to make the back of the lot usable.
Is Ball Ground covered?
Yes, at 46.1 road miles. It's the furthest point in the county for us and we still go.
