Better for the Environment
and Better for You
The best landscaping doesn't seek to control the environment or impose itself upon the soil. Instead, it works with nature to create something better, something lasting. Sustainable landscaping is how you enjoy the beautiful outdoor features you love without causing harm. It's how you get simpler landscape maintenance that requires less water, less time, and less money over the long run.Â
At Inside Out Landscape Design, we're passionate about providing sustainable landscaping solutions that truly serve the Georgetown, Kentucky area from the ground up. Our holistic ecocentric approach includes the use of permeable pavers, Kentucky native plant species and pollinator-friendly plants, recycled and repurposed materials, long-lasting materials, and more, and we take steps to reduce our own carbon footprint in our business operations.Â
The resulting landscape is beautiful, durable, and requires less work to maintain. You'll work with Kentucky's only APLD-certified landscape designer to create a customized space that suits your lifestyle, then our highly-trained installation crew will bring it to life. We're proud to offer a full range of services and support to ensure lasting success with your landscape. Contact us to get started.
How Life-Enriching Outdoor Spaces Make People Feel
The Benefits
of Sustainable Landscaping
All too often, people mistakenly believe that sustainable landscaping somehow reduces their options when it comes to designing their outdoor space. Nothing could be further from the truth.Â
Your space can include a patio, an outdoor kitchen, built-in seating, a fire pit, lush gardens, a pool, and more. The sustainable approach means we'll choose sustainable materials for your project, address drainage and irrigation concerns to reduce erosion and promote healthy soil, and choose plants that are known to grow well in the Georgetown soil and climate with little human intervention. With durable materials and high-quality craftsmanship, your landscape is built to last.Â
Sustainable landscaping has far-reaching benefits:
- Improved soil and plant health
- Reduced erosion
- Reduced maintenance time and costs
- Reduced water usage
- Increased wildlife and pollinator activity
- Improved air quality
- Reduced need for fertilizers and pesticides
- Long-lasting landscapes that reduce the amount of money you would spend on repairs and replacements over time
We love the outdoors, and sustainable landscaping is how we do our part to preserve and protect it. Contact us to learn more about our ecocentric approach and how it's better for the environment and better for you.  Â
What Sustainable Landscaping Looks Like
We treat our clients—and each outdoor space—like the individuals you are. The result is a unique landscaping design that enhances your existing architecture and takes your lifestyle into consideration. Take a look at some of our landscape transformations, each completed with different challenges and under different budgets:
Our Landscaping Process
Working with us is simple. We follow a transparent process so you know exactly what to expect each step of the way, and we stay in communication with you as we go. Don't hesitate to reach out with your questions at any time:
Complete the Questionnaire
In less than 10 minutes, you can answer a few questions (and even upload a few photos, plats, house plans, survey, etc.!) to help us get to know your landscaping challenges, aspirations, and preferences.
Schedule Consultation
It's time for a walk-through of your outdoor space, so we can see it and get more information about what you'd like! Our in-person consultations range from $150-300+ (depending on your location).
Sign the Design Agreement + Down Payment
Within 24 hours of your consultation, we will send you the agreement. These are priced at a flat rate based on your existing site and the complexity of the design, with simple designs starting around $1,500, full site plans for large properties ranging $5-10,000+. Extensive outdoor space projects (our specialty and majority of our projects) are a $5,000 minimum design fee. The Design Phase will begin as soon as we receive your signed agreement and deposit, both of which can be done online.
If your project doesn't need a design, you'll get an estimate within one week of your consultation.
Enter the Design Phase
Design support staff will measure and evaluate the site and will reach out to you to arrange the best time to do this. They pass that information on to our designers, who get to work on your design. For especially large projects, the designer may be in touch throughout the process to see what you think of the concepts. You'll receive the final concept for review before we estimate the cost of the project.
Attend The Presentation Meeting
It's so exciting to see your ideas come to life! You'll have the information you need to envision the completed project, including all the details, plant photos, and more. The Construction Agreement will be created once the design is approved, is customized for your property, and we aim to be as detailed as possible, which allows us to offer an accurate estimate.
Sign the Construction Agreement, Initial Payment
After we've finalized the scope of the work, you can electronically sign an agreement to the terms of payment.Â
You'll hear from us to schedule an approximate start date, and we'll send you a detailed production email with the next steps.
We'll Get Started!
We'll coordinate everything—you can simply sit back, relax, and eagerly await the completion of your revamped outdoor space!
We'll touch base with you the week before your start date, and the crew will call you when they're on the way to the site on the first day of work.Â
Final Walk-Through
Your satisfaction is our priority, so a foreman or manager will walk through the project with you (if you’re available) before we leave the site. If there are any issues, please give us an opportunity to fix them. We would love you to leave us an online review with your feedback!
