Outdoor Living Contractor | Murfreesboro, TN

Custom outdoor kitchen construction turns an ordinary backyard into a true extension of your home. Outdoor kitchens built for Middle Tennessee need to stand up to humid summers, wet winters, and the freeze-thaw cycles Rutherford County sees each year. Smith & Salmons selects materials accordingly, favoring weather-resistant stone, concrete block, and stainless steel components. A well-built outdoor kitchen can also add meaningful value to your property.

Builds can include countertops, built-in grills, bar seating, refrigeration, and custom cabinetry, all integrated into a cohesive design that matches your home's style and works as well for a quiet weeknight dinner as it does for entertaining a crowd.

A custom outdoor fireplace gives your backyard a focal point you can enjoy well beyond summer. Murfreesboro evenings carry a chill from October through April, and a well-positioned fireplace extends the usable season of any patio significantly. Smith & Salmons builds both wood-burning and gas fireplace structures using brick, natural stone, and manufactured stone veneer, all selected for durability in Tennessee's climate.

Fireplace projects are planned with sight lines, wind direction, and seating proximity in mind. The team can integrate a fireplace into a larger outdoor living design that includes a patio surround, built-in seating walls, or a pergola, creating a complete gathering space rather than a stand-alone feature.

A new patio may be the single most practical outdoor investment a Murfreesboro homeowner can make. Rutherford County soil shifts with seasonal moisture, so proper grading and base compaction are essential steps Smith & Salmons does not skip.

Working with an experienced outdoor living contractor means those steps get done right the first time. Patio materials include stamped concrete, natural flagstone, pavers, and exposed aggregate, giving homeowners options to match nearly any budget and aesthetic. Patios can connect directly to outdoor kitchens, fire features, or covered structures for a seamless backyard layout. For related work, see the hardscape contractor services page.
