What it is, and why it works.
A courtyard or entry court turns arriving at a home into an event. Cobble and fan patterns spread across a wide apron give a front door the feel of an old European estate, and a private walled courtyard becomes an outdoor room that feels far larger than its footprint.
These spaces are where pattern design shines. We lay out circles, arcs and borders on the site, plan drainage to hide in the pattern and choose colors that blend with brick, stone or stucco. Many Nashville homeowners with older homes want exactly this kind of period character without the cost of hand-set stone.
Four things done right.
