Yard to Backyard
From a Bare Yard to a Finished Backyard
Scroll to watch a backyard take shape: the stakes go in, the base is built, the pavers are laid, the structures rise and the lights come on.
Walk and Measure
- 01
Walk and Measure
We walk the yard, measure, check slope, drainage and utilities and listen to how you want to gather and relax outside.
- 02
Design the Space
A layout and 3D renderings test where the patio, the kitchen, the fire and the shade go and how the sun falls across them.
- 03
Dig and Build the Base
We excavate, correct the grade and compact a base that stays level through rain, freezes and heavy furniture.
- 04
Lay and Build
Pavers or stone are laid by hand, and walls, pergolas and kitchens rise in the order that protects finished work.
- 05
Light the First Fire
Lighting, planting and the finishing touches go in, and we walk the finished space with you before your first evening outside.
Before and After
Drag to Reveal the Patio
Drag the line across each photograph to compare a bare yard, a cracked slab and a plain deck with the same places after design and building.
BeforeAfterA Bare Yard Becomes a Fire Pit and Pergola Patio
A patchy backyard staked out for work, and the same view with a tan and charcoal paver patio, a curved edge, a built-in fire pit and a cedar pergola with string lights.
What we did: Measured the yard, designed the layout, built a compacted base, laid the pavers and added the fire pit, the pergola and the lighting.
Paver Patio Installation
BeforeAfterA Cracked Slab Becomes a Warm Paver Patio
A cracked, stained concrete slab with weeds, and the same space with a warm travertine-toned paver patio, a border, a low seat wall and a small bistro set.
What we did: Removed the old slab, corrected the grade and the base, laid a new paver patio and built the seat wall and planting beds.
Patio Replacement and Resurfacing
BeforeAfterA Plain Deck Becomes a Covered Outdoor Living Room
A small builder-grade deck with no shade, and the same home with a stained cedar roof over the deck, a fan, a stone fireplace and comfortable seating.
What we did: Designed the roof, the fireplace and the layout together, then built the structure, the ceiling, the lighting and the floor.

Read the guideWhat does TN Patio do?
TN Patio designs and builds patios, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, pergolas, covered patios, pool decks, retaining walls and complete outdoor living spaces for homes across Tennessee. We handle everything from the site study and 3D design to base work, building and the final walkthrough.
How do I request a consultation?
Call 615-209-7643, send the form on this page or use one of our planning tools. Tell us about your yard, what you would like to build and when you would like to begin. We reply promptly and set a time to talk or to visit.
How long does a patio project take?
It depends on the size, the structures, the weather and how quickly decisions are made. A simple paver patio can take days to a couple of weeks, while an outdoor kitchen, a roof or a full backyard takes longer. After we see your yard we give you a real schedule.
Do you handle permits and association approvals?
Yes. We prepare drawings, check setbacks and utilities and help with city permits and neighborhood association approvals when your project needs them. Approvals belong to the authorities, and we tell you what to expect.
Where do you work?
We serve homeowners across Tennessee, including Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Memphis, Clarksville, Johnson City and the communities around them. Every city has its own page with local notes.
Can you design the whole backyard, not just the patio?
Yes. Many clients start with a patio and add a kitchen, a fire pit, a pergola, walls, lighting and planting. We plan the whole yard first so every phase fits the next.
Do I need drawings to start?
No. A few photos of your yard and some ideas are enough. We measure the space, check the site and draw the plan for you.
Can you build in phases?
Yes. We plan drainage, power and gas for the whole yard, then build the pieces in the order that suits your calendar and your budget.
