The overview

What it is, and why it matters.

A motor court is part drive, part front yard and part entry statement. We design the turning radius for the vehicles that will use it, add a center island or fountain, frame it with stone borders and set it on a heavy-duty base that does not rut or ripple. Lighting and gate pillars complete the arrival.

Estates around Brentwood, Franklin and Nashville often have long approaches and heavy vehicle traffic, so we engineer the base, drainage and edges for the load, and phase the work if you want to start with the court and add pillars or a gate later.

Good questions

Motor Courts & Turnarounds: common questions

How big should a motor court be?

It depends on the vehicles and the property. A comfortable turnaround for two cars is often 30 to 40 feet across. We lay it out on site with stakes and string so you can see it.

Can you add a fountain or planted island?

Yes. Islands and fountains add focus and soften the paving, and we plan drainage and base around them.
