Louisville, KY

An Eco-Friendly Approach to Creating Life-Enriching Outdoor Spaces in Central Kentucky

In a city that's known for so much—the Kentucky Derby, the Louisville Slugger, Muhammad Ali, bourbon, and fried chicken, not to mention being Kentucky's largest city—it's easy for visitors to overlook the simple natural beauty that abounds in Louisville. From the banks of the Ohio River to the rolling hills and meadows that lead to forested mountains, the Bluegrass Region enjoys an incredible natural landscape that is reflected in the city's parks, golf courses, tree-lined paths, and exquisite gardens in front of historic homes—as well as in many private backyards.

We specialize in creating the outdoor spaces that give you a place to enjoy nature with the people you love, enriching your life as you make memories in a space that was designed specifically for you and your lifestyle. As lifelong and long-time residents of Central Kentucky, the Inside Out Landscape Design team has up-close-and-personal experience with the plants that thrive in this region. We make maintenance easy by planting Kentucky native species, providing drainage solutions, solving any specific challenges your land presents, and using eco-friendly practices that support the environment.

The result is a beautiful one-of-a-kind space that suits your existing architecture and can be truly lived in and enjoyed for years to come. With a full range of landscaping services that includes maintenance, we're happy to work with you on an ongoing basis to ensure your space stays beautiful and functional.

You don't have to wander in the wilderness to enjoy nature, though we do encourage that from time to time! A soothing outdoor space is simply more accessible when it's in your own backyard, and we're here to make that happen for you.

Work With Us in 8 Simple Steps

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. 

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. 

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!
