Custom patios designed around how you live, with a compacted base, drainage and the surface, shape and size your yard calls for.
A patio is the room outside your back door, and the best ones are planned like rooms. Where the morning sun lands, where the table sits, how people walk from the kitchen to the grill and where water goes after a storm all shape the design. Nashville homeowners ask for custom patios because lots here are never quite square, and a design drawn for your own yard fits better than a rectangle dropped onto the grass.
A designer walks the yard with you, notes slope, trees, utilities, sun and sightlines and sketches a layout with the shape, size and surface you prefer. The plan covers the base depth, edge restraint, drainage and how the patio meets the house and steps. You see the materials, the scope and the schedule in writing before work begins, and you confirm any HOA or local review that applies to your property.
The size and shape come from the table, the grill, the walkways and the people who will actually use the space, not from a standard template.
A patio lasts as long as its base, so the soil is excavated, compacted stone is placed in lifts and the surface is set on a firm, level, well-drained bed.
Every patio is pitched away from the house and drains to a safe outlet, with drains or grading added where the yard needs them.
Edge restraint, steps, borders and transitions to lawn and beds are detailed so the patio looks complete and holds its shape.

A common starting point is enough room for the table and chairs plus space to pull a chair out and walk past, then add areas for grilling or lounging. Your designer marks it out on the lawn so you can walk it.
It depends on style, budget, upkeep and drainage. Pavers, stone, stamped concrete and tile each have strengths, and we compare them for your yard.
Many patios take several days to a couple of weeks once materials arrive, and larger or sloped projects take longer. Weather can add time.
Not when it is sloped away from the house with a proper base and drainage, which is part of every plan.
Yes. We plan footings, power and gas lines and layout in advance so later additions fit without tearing the patio apart.
