What It's Like to Be a Member of the Inside Out Team
When Andrea and Michael Mueller founded Inside Out Landscape Design in 2007 to serve Frankfort and the surrounding area, they brought a lifetime of horticulture experience with them. They wanted to raise the standard for landscaping in Central Kentucky, and they focused on delivering high-quality designs and installations with the underlying purpose of enriching people's lives with those outdoor spaces, creating places where people can gather to spend time with family and friends in nature. They bring that level of connection, personalized customer care, and love of the outdoors into our work family, as well.
As a member of our team, you matter to us. Your health and safety are important, and we strive to create a family-like work environment where everyone is supported and appreciated. We believe in work-life balance, which is why we don't work nights or weekends (we often have half day or full day Fridays off, too)—we want our clients and our employees to have time to spend outside with their family and friends! We work hard and strive for excellence, but we have fun, too, and you'll enjoy company-sponsored gatherings and outings.
We believe in lifelong learning, and you'll have opportunities to earn certifications and learn new skills as you explore your unique landscaping interests. Every member of our team is highly valued for their unique experience and insight. Share your ideas as you develop in your role, and tell us about your goals, so we can support and encourage them.
You'll have everything you need to succeed at Inside Out Landscape Design, from job training, consistent communication, and a proven process along with a uniform, boots, coats, and all the equipment you need to do your job safely and efficiently. We want you to enjoy your work, so don't hesitate to let us know what gear or tools you need.
Get to Know the Company Owners:
Andrea & Michael Mueller
Andrea and Michael Mueller started Inside Out Landscape Design in their home before growing the company enough to move to a dedicated office space in 2011. Those humble beginnings came with a big vision: to offer ecologically responsible landscaping solutions and give their neighbors the opportunity to spend more time outdoors in beautiful spaces made especially for them. That's exactly what they're doing throughout Central Kentucky today.
Andrea grew up in the horticulture industry, working alongside her father, Charlie, in what was then Kentucky's largest nursery—a nursery he founded. She went on to earn a BA in design at the University of Kentucky; she's also Kentucky's only CPLD Certified Landscape Designer, and she's certified in Sustainable Site Pavement Systems.
After studying horticulture at the University of Maryland, Michael spent nearly two decades managing landscape crews in Kentucky and became Vice President at Charlie's nursery. With his extensive knowledge and experience in landscape and hardscape installation, garden care, tree spading, and drainage solutions, he oversees our large projects and subcontracted work while preparing bids and estimates.
Together, their wealth of knowledge and commitment to ongoing education and professional certification has attracted a team of hard-working horticulture and construction experts who build incredible outdoor spaces for Central Kentucky residents. If you'd like to join us, apply today!
