Two-Tier Belgard Patio & Retaining Wall
Two-Tier Belgard Patio and Retaining Wall Project in Kahite, TN
This custom outdoor living space in Kahite, Tennessee, showcases expert craftsmanship, detailed design, and durable materials throughout. The homeowners wanted to transform their sloped backyard into a usable, inviting retreat that felt both functional and elegant. Our team at Property Docktors designed and built a two-tier outdoor area with a Belgard paver patio, custom fire pit, and structural retaining walls, seamlessly blending engineering precision with natural beauty.

Client Goals
The homeowners’ vision was to create a cohesive outdoor space that could be enjoyed year-round while solving practical issues with drainage and elevation. The goal was to pair strong structural elements with natural aesthetics, creating a space that felt like a true extension of the home.
Key goals included:
-
- A two-tier patio layout for functional outdoor living
- Integrated fire pit and sitting walls for entertainment
- Long-term stability through engineered retaining walls
- Seamless transitions with steps, beds, and pathways
- Full-property drainage, lighting, and irrigation solutions
Our Process
This project involved both design creativity and structural expertise. Our team began by grading the property to prepare for multiple tiers and drainage systems, ensuring water would move safely away from the home and landscaped areas.
Our installation process included:
-
- Constructing a two-tier Belgard patio using Origins 6 pavers in Potomac and Savannah for a dynamic, blended surface finish
- Building retaining walls and pillars with Belgard Weston Stone for visual consistency
- Installing a Belgard fire pit as the focal point of the upper patio area
- Constructing an engineered front retaining wall using Rockwood Premier 8 blocks in “Normandy” for structural support and curb appeal
- Spreading 30 tons of decorative river stone for drainage control and design continuity
- Adding flagstone stepping stones, new garden beds, and a full irrigation and lighting system
- Completing the project with fresh sod and topsoil installation for a clean, finished look
The materials were chosen to complement the home’s neutral color palette, while the paver mix provided warmth and texture that comes alive in natural light. Every element, from the fire pit to the curved retaining wall was built with precision and long-term durability in mind.
