Scaled plans, renderings and 3D concepts that let you see your patio and outdoor living space before it is built.
It is much easier to change a drawing than a patio. Scaled plans and 3D concepts let you see how a patio, pergola and kitchen fit together, how big each space feels and how the sun falls across the yard. Nashville owners use concepts to compare layouts, to share ideas with family and HOA boards and to make confident decisions before work begins.
The designer measures the yard and draws a scaled plan, then builds a 3D view with materials, structures, plants and lighting. You review it, ask for changes and see updated versions. Final drawings show dimensions, materials and details, and they guide the crew and any permit applications. The scope includes the number of revisions and the deliverables. Concepts are a conversation tool, and the first version is rarely the final one. We show a base layout, discuss what you like and what you want to change and revise it. Views from the kitchen window, the patio and the street help you judge sightlines and scale. Material samples help you check the color choices, and we can show alternatives side by side. You can share the drawings with family, your HOA and others involved so everyone understands the plan. Final drawings include dimensions and notes that make it easier to review the scope and to schedule the work in the right order. We keep the files so changes later are quicker, and we explain how the plan can be phased.
Dimensions and layouts are drawn to scale, so clearances and furniture fit.
Renderings show how materials, structures and plants look together from several angles.
We adjust the design with you until it feels right, within the revision count in the scope.
Final drawings guide the crew and support permit and HOA submissions.
