Why it is drawn this way

Seven trades, one drawing, one number.

Most backyards of this size are quoted by a pool company, a mason, a carpenter, an electrician and a landscaper who have never seen each other's plans. That is where the grade stops matching, the drainage gets solved twice, and the pavilion ends up eighteen inches off the patio it was supposed to sit on. Allin draws the whole yard first, then builds it.

What Allin builds

Seven trades.
One site plan.

Almost every project below arrives combined with two or three of the others, because that is how a backyard actually gets used. They are listed separately so you can see the depth in each one.

Chapter 01

Swimming pools & backyard resorts

Gunite and fiberglass pools, personal spas, spillover water features, automatic covers and energy efficient equipment. A pool is never drawn on its own here: the deck, the pavilion, the kitchen, the fire and the planting are all on the same sheet before anything is dug.

Chapter 02

Outdoor rooms & pavilions

Motorized louvered roofs, pavilion and gable roofs, screened-in porches, sunrooms, composite decks and pool pavilions. The roof decides whether the room actually works through a Tennessee July and a Tennessee downpour, so the roof is the first decision, not the last.

Patios & hardscape

Paver and natural stone patios in Techo Bloc and Belgard, cut to take the kitchen and the fire feature from the start. The base and the drainage are the part you never see and the part that decides how it looks in ten years.

How a project runs

Nothing is dug until the whole yard is drawn.

  1. 01

    We listen first

    The initial consultation is complimentary, and it is a listening exercise. Our stated approach is to listen attentively to what you need rather than promote a plan we already drew. Bring the ideas you have saved and tell us how you actually want to use the yard.

  2. 02

    A drawing and an itemised estimate

    You get a design drawing of the whole backyard and a detailed itemised cost estimate, so the scope is clear before anything is dug. Clients have told us the final cost and the finished product came in exactly as quoted.

  3. 03

    One contractor builds it

    As a licensed General Contractor with the State of Tennessee, one design-build team runs the pool, the covered structure, the kitchen, the fire features, the patios, the drainage, the lighting and the planting, from the first concept drawing through final construction.

A named job

A complete backyard rebuild, taken down to bare ground.

Rick Galloway had Allin design and contract his entire backyard, then had Jonathan Allin finish the landscaping. The old yard came out and the new one was designed and constructed from the ground up: a rotating pergola, three wall fountains, a gas fireplace and an outdoor kitchen area. In his words it was like adding an addition to the back of the house.

“George is a class act and honest to the core. I’d recommend him to anyone willing to spend the money on something that will last and you will be very proud of.”

Before you call

Questions we get asked first.

Bring your ideas and your requirements, and anything you have saved that you like. Our approach is to listen attentively to your needs rather than promoting a predetermined plan, so the more you tell us about how you actually want to use the space, the better the first drawing will be.

Pool design and installation for residential properties, louvered roofs, pool pavilions, screened-in porches and sunrooms, plus landscaping design and installation, privacy planting, fire pits and outdoor fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, patios and retaining walls. Most projects combine several of those into one build.

We are committed to ensuring your complete satisfaction with the work we perform. Our goal is to meet and exceed your expectations for the project.

No. That is the reason this company is set up the way it is. Allin Landscaping is a licensed General Contractor with the State of Tennessee, so one design-build team manages the pool, the covered structure, the outdoor kitchen, the fire features, the patios, the drainage, the lighting and the planting, from the first concept drawing through final construction.
