Outdoor living, kitchen and patio contractors in Farragut

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.

Outdoor living in Farragut: common questions

Who are the outdoor kitchen builders serving Farragut?

Independent licensed local design-build contractors who handle the masonry, utilities, and any covering structure as one project. Knox Outdoor Living is a marketing service that connects Farragut homeowners with one of these builders for a free design consultation; it does not perform the work itself. Most designed kitchen projects here cross Tennessee's $25,000 licensing threshold, so the state license is a legal requirement, not a preference.

How much does an outdoor kitchen or full backyard design cost in Farragut?

The same general ranges as the rest of the metro: a straightforward grill station starts around $15,000 and a full chef build with masonry, utilities, refrigeration, and a covered structure can run $85,000 or more, with patios commonly $15,000 to $25,000 on top. Farragut projects tend to arrive as complete designs rather than single features, often phased over two seasons. These are general figures, not a quote; the licensed contractor provides a written itemized estimate after a site visit.

Will the HOA need to approve the project?

In many Farragut neighborhoods, yes. Architectural review is a normal part of the process, gas fire features usually clear covenants more easily than open wood fires, and the contractor you are matched with should arrive paperwork-ready for the submittal.

What it costs, and what happens after you send it

What does outdoor living work cost in Farragut?: This site's service pages put a professionally built paver patio at roughly $15,000 to $25,000 for a professionally built paver patio. That figure comes from a read of local contractor pricing rather than a published index, which is why it carries no publisher, so it is worth checking against indexes that do name themselves. Lawn Love (updated 2025-12-27) publishes a national average of $3,350 for a 280 square foot patio, a typical range of $2,275 to $6,950, and $8 to $24 per square foot. Homewyse (May 2026) publishes $20.03 to $25.95 per square foot to install a brick paver patio, before general contractor overhead of 13 to 22 percent, permits, inspection fees and sales tax. Those two do not agree. Lawn Love starts at $8 per square foot where Homewyse starts at $20.03, and neither is a Knoxville figure. They also measure different things from the local range, a rate per square foot against a whole finished project, so the useful move is to compare a bid on its rate and its scope rather than on its bottom line alone.
So what should I budget?: Not a single number, and no honest page can give you one. Size, grading, site access, material and whether anything is roofed or plumbed move a hardscape bid more than geography does. The paver patio cost page and the outdoor kitchen cost page break the ranges down by scope, and the licensed contractor you are matched with is the only one who can price your actual yard.
How fast will someone get back to me?: Calls and form submissions reach Compass Camper LLC directly. We read the request and pass it to a licensed local outdoor living contractor, usually within about an hour during the day. That contractor then contacts you to walk the yard and price the work on their own schedule.
What work is covered?: Paver patios, outdoor kitchens, fire pits and fireplaces, pergolas and pavilions, retaining walls, walkways and garden walls, driveways, and full outdoor living design. See every service.

Compass Camper LLC does not build hardscapes and does not quote them. Only the licensed local contractor you are matched with can price your project.
