#1 PATIO CONTRACTOR | Smarter Scapes LLC NASHVILLE
Backyard Transformed into a Cozy Patio Retreat in Franklin, Nashville, TN
- In a warm and inviting climate like Nashville, many homeowners strive to create an outdoor space they can truly take pride in.
- The challenge, however, is that designing your dream outdoor space requires significant physical effort and specialized expertise.
- Smart Scapes LLC can turn your outdoor vision into reality, creating your very own "dreamscape."
At Smart Scapes LLC, we specialize in crafting unique and fully customized landscaping projects for our clients. We design patios with intricate details, tailored precisely to our clients’ preferences. From start to finish, concept to completion, we bring our clients’ visions to life. We collaborate closely with our clients, meeting as often as needed to ensure we fully understand their project goals. Using 3D imaging and drafting software, we first create the design digitally, allowing us to refine and adjust the plan with our clients’ input before translating it into reality. There’s nothing more rewarding for us than turning our customers’ dreams into the perfect, real-life project. Recently, we had the opportunity to work with homeowners Jimmy and Tianna, helping them bring their dream outdoor space to life!
Brief Video Captured During Patio Design – Featuring Fire Pit and Flowering Plants

In the video, you can see our designer filming Jimmy and Tianna’s backyard, using her finger to highlight her plans for the project. To help our team better understand the vision Jimmy and Tianna had, our designer pans the camera across the designated backyard area, pointing out key spots. She shows where the walkway will connect the stairway to the patio, the entry point under the porch, and a nearby garden space for beautiful bamboo plants. She also discusses the covered areas beneath the second-floor deck, envisioned as an entertainment space. Naturally, her focus is on the fire pit and retaining wall—the centerpiece of the patio. She also shows where foundation plantings and flower beds will be placed outside the patio to seamlessly transition the space into the yard. The concepts and ideas Jimmy and Tianna shared are truly inspiring, and we were excited to begin this project!
