Outdoor Living Services

Nashville has a serious outdoor culture, and more and more homeowners are investing in backyard spaces that are actually worth spending time in. Milliken Builders builds custom outdoor living spaces throughout Nashville that hold up to the Tennessee climate and look great doing it.

We build pergolas, covered patios, outdoor kitchens, fire pit areas, and full backyard living setups. Nashville's mix of older neighborhoods and newer developments means we work on everything from compact urban backyards to larger suburban lots, and we design to fit the space you have.

Our outdoor living projects are built with quality materials and proper structural foundations. We're not a screen-porch kit company. Everything we build is custom, permitted where required, and built to be used year after year.

If you're ready to actually use your Nashville backyard, reach out to Milliken Builders for a complimentary estimate.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What types of outdoor living projects does Milliken Builders build?

We build pergolas, covered patios, outdoor kitchens, fire pit areas, and combination outdoor living spaces throughout Middle Tennessee. If you have something specific in mind, reach out, we're happy to discuss it.

Do I need a permit for a pergola or covered patio in Tennessee?

It depends on the structure size and attachment type. Attached structures typically require a permit; freestanding pergolas often do not. Milliken Builders reviews permit requirements for every project and handles the process for you.

What materials do you use for outdoor structures?

We use a mix of pressure-treated lumber, cedar, composite materials, and metal depending on the project. We'll walk you through material options during your estimate and help you choose what fits your budget and aesthetic.

How long does an outdoor living project take?

Most pergola or covered patio projects take 1–3 weeks. Larger outdoor kitchen builds or full backyard projects can take 3–6 weeks. We'll give you a clear timeline before we start.

Can you combine a deck and an outdoor living structure?

Yes, many of our projects combine a deck with a pergola or covered roof structure. Designing them together creates a cohesive look and can save money compared to building them separately.
