From Blueprints to Backyards: How We Bring Outdoor Spaces to Life in Middle Tennessee

When you imagine your dream home, chances are your vision doesn’t stop at the back door.

In Tennessee, outdoor living is a lifestyle. Whether it’s coffee on the porch, kids in the yard, or summer dinners under the string lights, these moments shape the way a home feels and functions. That’s why we approach outdoor space with the same level of care and creativity as the interior.

We don’t just build houses. We shape the environments around them so you can enjoy your whole property, not just what's under the roof.

Designing With the Landscape, Not Against It

Every piece of land tells a story. Some have gentle slopes perfect for layered patios. Others offer wooded views just asking for a screened porch or fire pit. We take the time to walk each site with our clients and design outdoor features that make the most of what’s naturally there.

Instead of forcing a vision onto the land we partner with it.

Outdoor Features that Add Everyday Value

  • Covered Patios & Screened Porches – Enjoy the outdoors year-round while staying shaded and bug-free.

  • Built-In Grilling Stations – Perfect for hosting, with storage and counter space to match.

  • Backyard Fire Pits – Whether gas or wood-burning, they bring people together.

  • Walkways & Retaining Walls – Designed to be both practical and beautiful.

  • Thoughtful Landscaping – We work with local partners to create low-maintenance, high-impact yard plans.

Done the right way, each become extensions of your living space.

Blending Style, Function, and Durability

We know Tennessee weather. Our team helps you choose materials that withstand the heat, humidity, and seasonal shifts without losing their look. From stone patios to composite decking to weather-hardy ceiling fans, every detail is chosen with long-term use in mind.

We also help clients plan for lighting, drainage, and utility access early in the process so your outdoor vision is fully integrated, not tacked on later.

Your Home, Inside and Out

Your home should reflect how you live, and for many of our clients, that includes morning coffee on the porch, late-night s’mores, and everything in between. At the heart of our outdoor design is creating moments (and memories) just steps from your back door.
