Brentwood’s wooded hillsides and generous yards make for beautiful properties and challenging construction. As a general contractor Brentwood TN homeowners call for that terrain, we build decks, porches, fences and flatwork that work with the grade.
Many Brentwood homes sit on larger lots, and a good share of them are wooded and sloped. That means more yard to fence, more grade to manage, and back doors that often sit well above the ground below.
Our work as a general contractor Brentwood TN homeowners call reflects that. We build elevated and multi-level decks with stair runs designed to follow the grade, screened porches off main-floor living areas, and long fence lines that stay straight over rolling ground.
Many Brentwood homes also date from the 1970s through the 1990s, so some of our work is replacing decks and porches that have simply reached the end of their service life.
These general contractor Brentwood TN services come up most often, given the size and slope of the typical lot.
Decks that step down a hillside in levels, with properly sized posts, bracing and footings for the height. Railings in wood, composite or aluminum, and stair runs with landings where the drop calls for them.
Deck building and railing options
A screened porch built off the main floor adds usable space without a full addition. We frame it to the existing roofline and structure so it reads as part of the house.
Porches, additions and remodels
Ranch rail, ornamental aluminum and privacy fencing run across rolling ground, racked or stepped to follow the slope, with drive and walk gates hung on braced posts.
Residential fence installation
Patios beneath elevated decks and walkways that connect the different levels of the yard, so a sloped property gets usable, level space at ground level too.
Concrete patios and masonry
Two-story rooflines and long driveways are difficult and risky to light yourself. We install, maintain and remove the display for you.
Seasonal lighting serviceThe size and terrain of Brentwood lots shape how a project is designed and built.
A deck eight or ten feet off the ground needs larger posts, lateral bracing and careful attention to the ledger attachment. We design for the actual height of the structure and the load it will carry.
Water running down a hillside can undermine footings and wash out the base under a patio. We plan drainage and footing locations with that runoff in mind.
Mature trees are part of what makes Brentwood lots appealing. We place footings and fence posts to avoid major roots where possible and discuss trade-offs with you when a layout cannot avoid them.
Decks and porches generally require a permit from the City of Brentwood, and many subdivisions have their own HOA standards for fences and exterior changes. We confirm both before work starts.
We are a licensed, insured, locally owned general contractor Brentwood TN homeowners trust with height and grade. On Brentwood projects, these are the strengths that matter most:
Elevated decks and stepped fence lines are routine work for our crew, not something we figure out on your property.
Tyler Holt, our owner, is involved in estimates and on-site follow-up, and our Google reviews consistently mention his communication.
We keep heavy equipment off established lawns and clean up at the end of each day.
Yes. Steep yards are common in Brentwood. We design multi-level or elevated decks with posts, bracing and footings sized for the height, and we plan stairs and landings so getting down to the yard feels natural.
If the framing, footings and ledger connection are still sound, resurfacing with new boards and railings can be a good option. Older decks frequently have connection or rot issues that make a full rebuild the better choice. We inspect it and tell you which applies.
We either step the panels down the slope or rack them to follow the grade, depending on the fence style and how the slope runs. Either way, posts stay plumb and the top line stays consistent.
A screened porch is a structural addition and generally requires a permit from the City of Brentwood. We confirm the requirement during the estimate and build to pass inspection.
Whether it is an elevated deck, a screened porch or fencing around a large yard, our general contractor Brentwood TN crew will walk the property with you and put together a written estimate.
