Outdoor living in Farragut
Farragut is where Knox County's outdoor living budgets run deepest. The town's median home value sits around $583,400, more than double the county median, and neighborhoods like Fox Den and Village Green pair established landscaping with homeowners ready to invest in the backyard as a real room of the house. Concord and the Fort Loudoun shoreline sit at the town's edge.
Knox Outdoor Living connects Farragut homeowners with licensed local contractors for outdoor kitchens, paver patios, and complete outdoor living designs. The design consultation is free and no-obligation.
The complete-backyard market
Farragut projects tend to arrive as a plan, not a feature: a patio, kitchen, fire feature, and pergola designed together, often phased over two seasons. Gas fire features and built-in kitchens fit the neighborhood covenants better than open wood fires, and HOA architectural review is a normal part of the process that the contractor should handle paperwork-ready.
Because these designed projects routinely cross the $25,000 mark, Tennessee's contractor licensing requirement applies to most of them, and written itemized estimates make comparing bids straightforward. On-grade patios remain permit-exempt; pavilion roofs and kitchen utilities bring permits.
Knox County authorized about 5,013 new housing units in 2025, and Farragut anchors the county's high-value west corridor. Source: Census ACS 2020 to 2024.
