Design-Build in Nashville, Franklin and Brentwood
Landscape Design-Build for Nashville, Franklin and Brentwood Homes
Design-build means one company draws your outdoor space and the same company builds it. You work with one team from the first conversation to the final walkthrough, the plan is drawn by people who know what it takes to build it, and nothing gets lost between a designer's drawing and a contractor's crew.
Why One Team From Plan to Finish
When a design is drawn by one firm and built by another, the gaps show up on site: a patio that does not account for the slope, a kitchen with no plan for the gas line, a budget that was never tested against real costs. With Prestige Landscape Company, the people who design your project know exactly how our crews build, and our crews have the full plan in hand before the first shovel goes in.
For you, that means one point of contact, one written proposal and one team responsible for the result. If a question comes up during the build, the answer is a phone call away rather than a dispute between two companies.
What We Design and Build
Most of our design-build clients are planning a complete outdoor living space rather than a single feature. Typical projects bring several of these together into one plan:
- Paver and natural stone patios and terraces
- Outdoor kitchens and covered dining areas
- Fire pits, fireplaces and seating walls
- Retaining walls, steps and terraces for sloped yards
- Walkways, garden paths and front entries
- Planting design, lawn areas and privacy screening
- Landscape lighting for evenings outside
What the First Consultation Is
The first step is a conversation, not a sales pitch. We ask how you want to use the space: dinners outside with friends, a quiet evening by the fire, room for the kids, a view you want to enjoy. Then we visit the property and look closely at what the plan has to work with: the slope, where water goes when it rains, sun and shade through the day, mature trees, access for equipment and how the house opens onto the yard.
You leave that visit with clear next steps. Estimates are free, and before you commit to anything you get a realistic budget range for a project like yours.
How Long a Project Takes
Timelines depend on the size of the project. Most residential builds take 4 to 12 weeks once construction starts, and projects with outdoor kitchens or several connected features can run longer. The design stage comes first [CARO: how many weeks does the design stage usually take?]. We give you a written timeline with your proposal, so you know when each part of the work will happen before it begins.
Built by Our Own Crews
Prestige Landscape Company is Licensed & Insured, with 15+ years of experience in Middle Tennessee. Our own crews build what we design, with one person responsible for your project from start to finish. When the build is complete we walk the finished work with you, and our property care team can look after it afterward so it keeps looking the way it did on day one.

Questions We Hear Often
What does a design-build project cost?
Every property is different, so we do not quote a number before we have seen yours. What we do promise is a realistic budget range before you commit to anything, and a written proposal with the full cost before work starts. [CARO: budget range? Add a typical range for a complete outdoor living project, or leave this answer as it is.]
Do we pay separately for the design?
The design is included in the price of your project when we build it. Your designer explains how the design stage works at the start, before any drawing begins.
How long does a design-build project take?
Most residential builds take 4 to 12 weeks once construction starts. Projects with outdoor kitchens or several connected features can take longer. You get a written timeline with your proposal.
Do you handle permits and HOA approval?
Some projects need a permit, for example taller retaining walls or structures, depending on the height and the local rules where you live. We tell you what applies to your project during the design stage. [CARO: do we prepare the drawings for HOA or architectural review boards, and do we pull permits ourselves?]
Can the project be built in phases?
Yes. A complete plan can be drawn now and built in stages, so each part fits the final design. We will tell you which order makes sense for your property.
Which areas do you serve?
We design and build outdoor living spaces in Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, Belle Meade, Green Hills and the surrounding communities, and we are based in Burns, in Dickson County.
