Outdoor living in Tellico Village
Tellico Village is a planned community of roughly 5,700 homes wrapped around the coves of Tellico Lake, with golf at Toqua, Tanasi, and Kahite and a yacht club on the water. Outdoor living is the point of living here, and backyard projects reflect it: the design brief usually starts with the lake view and works backward.
Knox Outdoor Living connects Tellico Village homeowners with licensed local contractors for patios, outdoor kitchens, fire features, and covered outdoor rooms. The design consultation is free and happens at your home, on your slope, facing your view.
Designing for a lake lot
Village lots bring specific design problems that reward an experienced contractor: grade falling away toward the water, POA architectural review, and the wish to keep the sightline from the living room through the patio to the cove unbroken. Popular projects lean toward view-facing paver terraces, low seat walls that do not block the water, gas fire features for evening breezes off the lake, and covered outdoor rooms that extend the long East Tennessee season.
Because many Village projects combine a patio with a covered structure or an outdoor kitchen, they often cross Tennessee's $25,000 licensing threshold, which makes the licensed-contractor requirement a legal matter, not a preference. Architectural review by the POA comes before any build, and the contractor should carry that process.
