Outdoor Living Space That Functions Year-Round

Patio design and construction in Nashville

A well-built patio in Nashville gives you usable outdoor space that holds up through humid summers, freeze-thaw winters, and heavy rain. Creative Landscape Solutions designs and constructs custom patios using materials suited for Middle Tennessee climate conditions. Each project begins with site evaluation to determine proper grading, drainage, and material selection based on how you plan to use the space.

We handle full patio construction, from excavation and base preparation to material installation and finishing details. Grading ensures water drains away from your home, and the base is compacted to prevent settling or shifting. Material options include pavers, natural stone, stamped concrete, and poured slabs, each chosen for durability and aesthetic fit with your property.

Most questions focus on materials and site prep

Once the design is finalized, we excavate the area to the required depth and grade the base to direct water away from your foundation. A compacted gravel base is installed, followed by sand or leveling material depending on the surface type. Pavers or stone are set with tight joints, and edges are secured with border materials or concrete. Poured surfaces are formed, reinforced, and finished to your specifications.

After construction, you'll notice a level, stable surface that doesn't collect standing water or shift underfoot. The patio will integrate with surrounding landscape features, provide clear access from your home, and offer space for furniture, grills, or fire pits. Proper installation means fewer cracks, less settling, and lower long-term maintenance.

We serve residential and commercial clients throughout Nashville and the surrounding region. This service is ideal for outdoor gathering spaces, dining areas, or property upgrades that add usable square footage. Patios also increase property value and curb appeal when designed to complement the home's architecture.

What happens between layout and finished surface

Choosing the right patio material and understanding what's involved in installation helps set realistic expectations. These questions cover the practical details most homeowners want to know before moving forward.

Pavers and natural stone offer durability and easier repairs if settling occurs. Poured concrete is cost-effective and works well for large areas. We recommend materials based on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and site drainage.
What material works best for a patio in Middle Tennessee?
How do you prevent a patio from draining toward the house?
We grade the base to slope away from your foundation, typically one-quarter inch per foot. This ensures rainwater runs off the patio surface and doesn't pool near your home or cause erosion.
How long does patio construction take?
Most residential patios take one to two weeks depending on size, material type, and site conditions. Weather delays or material delivery can extend the timeline, but we keep you updated throughout the process.
Can you build a patio on uneven ground?
Yes. We excavate and grade the site to create a level base. Retaining walls or terracing may be added if the slope is significant. The goal is a stable, usable surface that integrates with the existing landscape.
What maintenance does a patio require?
Paver patios may need occasional joint sand replenishment and weed control. Sealed surfaces should be resealed every few years. Proper drainage during installation minimizes long-term maintenance and structural issues.
