Concept renderWhy Northshore homeowners call Yellow Rose
- Local ground, planned for. Northshore has upscale homes, many on lake and view lots, on lots that slope hard toward the water. Lake and view lots slope hard, so multi-level patios, retaining walls and steps do most of the work.
- Designed before we dig. A concept plan and 3D renderings mean you approve the finished backyard transformations before a machine shows up, which is how we avoid costly change orders.
- Permits handled. It depends on what’s in the plan. Tall retaining walls, gas lines, electrical and roofed structures usually need permits from the City of Knoxville or Knox County, depending on the address; we flag every one during design. Many neighborhoods here also have HOA design review; we prepare drawings and material specs for approval.
- Proven work. 200+ projects, a 12-person crew, and a 5.0 rating across 39 Google reviews.
