A fine landscape is more than a pretty picture. It's an interactive experience, where you connect with friends and family, relax after a long day, pursue your favorite hobbies, and entertain guests.

Why a Backyard Isn't Enough
People say it all the time: "I want a house with a yard." It's great to have that outdoor space at your fingertips, but what are you going to do with it?
Putting a table on a patio isn't the same as creating a true outdoor living space, where you feel every bit as comfortable as you do in your living room. "Backyard" is an afterthought. The beauty of a professionally designed and installed outdoor living area is right there in the name: it's where you live your life outdoors.Â
Let your friends and family gather around the fire pit, while you prepare dinner in your outdoor kitchen. Serve them under the pergola; as the sky grows dark, your landscape lighting allows for safe interaction while it beautifully highlights your favorite landscaping features. The Inside Out Landscape Design team creates this setting for you in harmony with nature to preserve the soil, conserve resources, and build an artful landscape that stands the test of time.Â
Over the years, we've used our extensive local horticulture knowledge and design expertise to create one-of-a-kind outdoor living spaces for Louisville, Kentucky homeowners. Find your inspiration in our portfolio, then contact us to get started on your own outdoor transformation.
What Louisville Looks Like When We're Done With It
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:
How We Create Sustainable Outdoor Living Spaces
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!
