- Site review, conceptual plan, final scope.
- Material guidance focused on longevity and upkeep.
- Coordinated field work with trades and inspections.
Residential curb appeal and backyard retreats
Projects for the home focus on curb upgrades and usable backyard spaces. Common elements include paver patios, privacy plantings, and gathering areas sized to fit lifestyle.
Commercial curb, entry, and employee amenity spaces
Commercial work prioritizes durable surfaces, clear entries, and low-maintenance beds. A single point of responsibility keeps schedules tight and quality high.
Our proven process that keeps your project on time
A short, thorough visit provides the facts needed to build a reliable timeline. Anchored Construction begins with an on-site consultation to hear your goals, measure grades, note drainage, and document access limits that shape cost and scope.

On-site consultation and idea mapping
During the consultation the team maps priorities into a concept plan. Plant palettes, hardscape outlines, and clear dimensions guide accurate pricing. This step turns your vision into actionable next steps.
Concept plans and refined design revisions
Concept plans arrive for review. Collaborative revisions refine layout, materials, and phasing until the plan fits your schedule and investment.
Transparent proposal, schedule, and mobilization
The proposal lists scope, inclusions, exclusions, and a target timeline so the project stays on time and within budget. Mobilization coordinates crews, materials, and equipment to avoid downtime.
Expert installation, walkthrough, and care guidance
Field crews follow best practices for base prep, compaction, and edge restraint. Supervisors check alignment and elevations with attention to quality and attention detail.
- Daily site upkeep and clear progress updates.
- Final walkthrough to confirm completion and review care steps.

Custom features to elevate your outdoor space
Custom features turn a plain yard into useful outdoor rooms that fit how your family lives. Anchored Construction builds elements that work together for one cohesive result.
Paver patios, pathways, and gathering areas
Paver patios and pathways offer durable, low‑maintenance surfaces that guide traffic and define gathering areas. Color and texture choices help create a welcoming patio that suits scale and use.
Retaining walls and terracing for beauty and function
Retaining walls add usable elevation, control erosion, and frame planting beds. Terracing turns slopes into practical spaces while adding visual beauty.
Outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and entertainment zones
An outdoor kitchen can include a grill base, counter surfaces, storage, and utilities planned for safe operation. A fire pit creates a year‑round focal point that extends evening use.
Landscape lighting and water features
Lighting improves safety on steps and paths while highlighting stonework and plants. Water features add sound and movement that invite relaxation.
- Durable materials like concrete pavers, natural stone, or modular block systems.
- Correct base prep, drainage, and edge restraint for long life.
- Custom carpentry with concrete services to finish transitions across the space.
Result: Every element is planned to function as a single, comfortable space so circulation, seating, and views feel intentional. Anchored Construction manages the work for reliable installation and lasting outdoor living.
Materials and methods that stand up to Tennessee weather
Tennessee weather tests every choice, so materials and methods must be chosen for real-world performance. Anchored Construction’s crews focus on base work, drainage, and plant palettes that suit East Tennessee.
Quality plant selection for four-season interest
Quality plants are chosen for cold tolerance, bloom timing, and mature size. This reduces replacements and keeps the property attractive year-round.
Soil improvement and proper mulch help plants handle summer heat and winter freeze. These steps cut watering needs and promote lasting health.
Durable hardscape materials and proper base prep
Paver patios, modular block walls, and poured concrete perform when the base is done right. Excavation to a stable subgrade, layered stone, and firm compaction matter most.
- Edge restraint and correct jointing stabilize surfaces through freeze-thaw cycles.
- Wall systems include setback, drainage stone, and fabric to lower hydrostatic pressure.
- Hardscape choices emphasize slip resistance, longevity, and visual fit with the home.
Result: Thoughtful material selection and careful installation create a space that holds grade, sheds water, and maintains its finish across seasons.
Maintenance-minded designs for day-to-day ease
Practical choices early on make daily yard care faster and less costly. Anchored Construction plans with upkeep in mind so homeowners spend less time on chores and more time enjoying life.
Right plant, right place to reduce upkeep
Regional best practices guide plant selection for sun, soil, and water. The team places species where they thrive to cut pruning, replacements, and extra watering.
Drainage, grading, and irrigation considerations
Correct grading and drainage lower washouts and mulch loss after heavy rain. Irrigation zoning matches plant needs and sun exposure to save water and improve health.
- Bed sizes and edging fit mower paths to reduce trimming time.
- Groundcovers and mulch suppress weeds and stabilize soil.
- Access paths let you reach valves, spigots, and equipment without harm.
- Low-voltage lighting placed for easy bulb or fixture changes.
- Optional ongoing service plans or seasonal guidance align with homeowner needs.
Commercial and warehouse exterior improvements
Anchored Construction approaches commercial projects with safety, sequencing, and durability in mind.
The firm provides a single accountable contractor for warehouse repair, retaining wall construction and repair, concrete services, pallet racking access improvements, and bobcat and excavation support across East Tennessee.
Entry plazas, walkways, retaining walls, and repair
Commercial entries and plazas benefit from durable surfaces and clear pedestrian routes. Proper planting stays tidy with little upkeep.
Retaining walls stabilize grades near loading areas and parking lots. This protects pavements and nearby structures while improving curb appeal.
Site concrete, pallet racking access, and excavation support
Site concrete work covers sidewalks, ramps, pads, and repairs. Reinforcement and control joints extend life and reduce future repairs.
Pallet racking access improvements combine concrete, bollards, and protective elements to improve warehouse safety and flow. Excavation and grading prepare stable subgrades and correct drainage away from buildings.
- Phased work to limit impact on operations and maintain access.
- Materials chosen for longevity to lower lifecycle costs.
- Projects follow ADA, stormwater, and local code expectations.
Result: Finished spaces perform well for tenants, visitors, and staff while reinforcing property value and brand standards. Clear scopes and schedule communication help stakeholders plan around temporary closures and reopenings.
Project inspiration: ways we transform outdoor spaces
A few targeted improvements can change how a yard feels and functions. Anchored Construction draws on a broad service mix — landscaping, hardscapes, outdoor kitchens, concrete, decks, lighting, and water features — to match ideas to budgets and goals.
Small-space upgrades with big visual impact
In tight yards, a compact paver seating area, new plant palette, and well-placed lights can transform outdoor space quickly. These projects often start from $3,000 to $5,000 in Knoxville.
Full-property makeovers for long-term value
Comprehensive packages add layered plantings, larger patios, and integrated lighting or water features. Enhanced options commonly begin around $11,000 to $20,000, while full transforms exceed $25,000 depending on scope.
