About us
Gary McCann and family
A family-owned hardscape company serving Nashville, run by Gary McCann, with a portfolio of finished yards behind it.
Who we are
Transformation Hardscape & Design is a family-owned hardscape company, owned by Gary McCann. The family designs, builds and installs outdoor spaces for homes in Nashville and the towns within 30 miles of it, across 8 counties from Davidson and Williamson to Sumner and Rutherford. The work runs, in the company’s own description, from “simple driveway and pool deck rebuilds to complex remodels of entire properties.”
The photographs on this site are the family’s own work: covered outdoor rooms with fireplaces, pools with fire tables, hardwood decks with spas, herringbone paver driveways. None of them is a stock photo.
What the reviews say about Gary
Three clients reviewed the company on Houzz in early 2021, all five stars, and all three name Gary. Toni Y described him as straight-forward, organized and very responsive. Evgenia Ermolina’s backyard was finished within the timeline agreed at the start. Andy Slater’s pavers drained badly in heavy rain months after his job was done, and Gary went back and fixed them anyway.
How the family works
Two lines from the old site sum it up. The first is a promise: “one point of contact from day one.” The second is the standard behind it: “Anything Less is unacceptable.” In practice that means Gary walks every property himself, writes every bid, and is the person a customer calls until the job is finished.

About the family and the company
What does “Anything Less is unacceptable” mean?
It is the line the family closed its old About page with, and it is the standard for every job: the bid complete, the timeline kept, and problems fixed. One Houzz reviewer, Andy Slater, saw that last part firsthand when Gary returned months after his job to correct pavers that were not draining.
Who owns Transformation Hardscape & Design?
Gary McCann. It is a family-owned business, and Gary is the one who walks each property, writes the bid and stays the point of contact until the job is done. His mobile number, (423) 307-6170, is the business number on every page of this site.
Where can I see more of the family’s work?
On the portfolio page of this site, and on each service page, where the photos are grouped by the kind of work: driveways, front yards, backyards, pool decks, kitchens and fire, and whole properties. The family’s Houzz and Facebook pages carry more pictures, and Houzz has the three reviews.
Where can I read reviews of Gary’s work?
On Houzz, on the family’s company profile. Three clients there gave five stars in early 2021, writing about the detail of Gary’s bid, finishing on the agreed timeline, and Gary coming back to fix drainage months after one job. Each of the three reviews mentions Gary by name.
