Flagstone terrace with stone steps and planting

Patios and terraces that stay flat through a Tennessee winter

Most of our patios run $18,000–$45,000 for about 400–700 sq ft, base, drain path and edging included.

What are we building?

Choose a project, then a time for the designer to come out.

Clay under a patio swells when it soaks up a week of rain, then lifts again when a January freeze locks the water in. A thin base rides those swings and the surface rolls. We set the stone depth to what the soil probe shows, slope the surface off the house and give every patio somewhere for its water to go.

For the top, pick from concrete pavers, porcelain, bluestone, irregular flagstone or brushed concrete. Your designer brings real pieces to lay against your brick, and the material board stays with you while you decide.

  1. 1

    Walk the yard

    A designer spends about an hour on site with you, checking grades, soil, sun and where the water runs, and hearing how you want to use the space. The first visit is free.

  2. 2

    Plan at your table

    Right there at your table, the designer sketches the layout to scale, then comes back with a material board of real stone, brick and plant picks you can hold.

  3. 3

    Fixed price

    We adjust the plan until it fits how you live and what you want to spend, then send one fixed price that lists every material and quantity.

  4. 4

    Build and hand-over

    One crew lead runs the job from first stake to last plant, and a photo update lands in your inbox every Friday. Hardscape is covered for 5 years, plants for 1.

Our back lawn used to drain like a bathtub. Thornbury fixed the grade first, then laid the terrace and new sod, and it matches the plan we signed off on at our own table. Same crew every morning, and they swept up before they left.

Marisol T.Terrace and sod · Google review

Nobody could use our hillside. Graham sketched a terrace and a low wall right there on the patio, Luis ran the job, and the photos came every Friday. Three weeks later we were sitting around the fire.

Patio questions

What does a patio cost?

Most land between $18,000 and $45,000 for 400 to 700 sq ft. Natural stone, steps and tight access move it up; a simple paver square on flat ground comes in lower.

Pavers or poured concrete?

Concrete costs less, but clay movement tends to crack it. Pavers flex and can be lifted and reset in one spot. We will price both if you want to compare.

How long is the crew on site?

Usually one to two weeks once stone is delivered. Your crew lead sends photos every Friday.

Hold the stone against your house first

Your designer brings samples to the free walk-through, so you choose with the real thing in hand.
