Outdoor living is no longer an afterthought—it’s a lifestyle must-have. Whether you’re hosting a weekend cookout, enjoying your morning coffee, or winding down under the stars, the right outdoor space elevates everyday living. At Patterson Company, we design homes with outdoor enjoyment in mind, offering covered patios and thoughtfully planned backyards in every neighborhood.

Outdoor Living: A Seamless Extension of Home

Today’s top outdoor trends focus on blending indoor comfort with natural beauty. Covered patios provide shade and shelter year-round, allowing you to relax or entertain in style no matter the weather. With just a few personalized touches, your patio becomes a cozy reading nook by day and a lively gathering spot by night.

Designing for Entertainment and Relaxation

Creating the right atmosphere outdoors is all about the details. Plush seating, layered textures, and natural elements like wood and stone add warmth and character. Consider adding ambient lighting—string lights, lanterns, or even a statement chandelier—and integrate outdoor speakers to bring your playlist outside. Want to enjoy crisp evenings? Add a fire pit or heater for cozy nights under the sky.

Discover Spacious Backyards at Riverview

At Riverview at Cumberland Hills in Madison, Tennessee, homesites offer generous backyards—perfect for expanding your outdoor lifestyle. From installing a playset or raised garden beds to creating multiple entertaining zones, there’s room for it all.
