Yes. A designer walks the yard with you, sketches ideas and plans the layout, drainage and materials, and the same team builds what you approve.

Yes. Many owners begin with a patio, a fire pit or a walkway and add pergolas, kitchens and lighting in phases.

Pavers are individual units set on a compacted base, so they can be lifted and repaired. Stamped concrete is poured in place and patterned, which gives a seamless look that can crack as the ground moves.

Base depth depends on soil, drainage and use. Clay soils around Nashville usually call for a deeper compacted stone base than sandy soils, and your designer explains the plan for your yard.

Concrete pavers, porcelain and natural stone need little more than sweeping and occasional washing. Wood decks and some sealed surfaces need regular care.

Size, materials, base preparation, drainage, slope, access, structures, utilities and finishes. A written scope shows exactly what is included.
