Lindsey brought new concepts to us and at the same time, integrated our ideas into a design that beautifully extends the footprint of our home. Ours has been a complicated project, with a reflecting pool, waterfalls, a 100'+ rock wall, a seat wall, and thousands of plants that she carefully selected for our location (and native to Ohio as well). Lindsey has advocated for the best possible work from our contractors, and has overseen the work in great detail. I highly recommend LWB Design. Both the process and product have been stellar. **Comment from LWB Design Landscape Architecture:** > Thank you Scott for your kind words. It’s been super fun working with you and Kathy! Your trust, patience, and input in the creative process really pushed the design to the next level in creating an exceptionally unique outdoor space. Thank you for selecting me to design and manage the build of your awesome project! ### All 21 reviews **★★★★★ — elizahatch, Dec. 2023** > LWB design has done a wonderful job planning our landscape design for our new build.

She responds quickly and with clarity to our questions; she offers novel suggestions with an understanding of our aesthetic preferences; and she proposes creative solutions to budget constraints and structural limitations. She has translated our desired vision into a beautiful design that also incorporates allowances for technical considerations (such as lot grading, drainage and local climate) all within the spatial confines of our property. She has also been instrumental in helping us navigate the daunting tasks of gaining design approval through the city, as well as finding contractors for the varied aspects of our project. Working with Lindsey has been a genuine pleasure and we look forward to continuing to work with her as we move into the next phase of our project.

She is a true professional with our best interests in mind. We are thrilled with the outcome and her ability to use a variety of tools to convey images and 3D models for us to see the project.

She was initially hired for a pool project in our backyard she outdid herself in every way with creativity, getting approvals from the city, and coming up with innovative ideas for our limited backyard space! We were so happy with Lindsey's work we continue to use Lindsey as our architect for our therapy centers where we have an outdoor looking sensory room. Lindsey did a beautiful design, went way above our expectations in her design work, collaboration with structural engineers, building architects and all team members involved in this project. Lindsey is extremely creative and thinks outside the box! She is a true professional and does great work!! **Comment from LWB Design Landscape Architecture:** > Thank you Rechama! It has been a pleasure working with you on the design of the big sensory room. I had a lot of fun working with you on it. It's not much different than an outdoor playground! You and your husband are such amazing people for all that you do at your therapy centers. Thanks again for your thoughtful review. Here's looking forward to spring! **★★★★★ — Maripat Klein, Dec. 2021** > Lindsey's attention to detail, professional attitude and easy-going nature have made her an asset to my landscape team. It was a great pleasure for my fiance and I to work with Lindsey Baker in designing our new pool house, pool , and extensive landscaping in Hunting Valley, OH. She skillfully adapted our ideas to the character of our yard and our needs. > > I can not thank Lindsey enough for her meticulous attention to detail. She is extremely smart and a real problem solver. Her attention to detail saved us costly errors and timely delays. Our yard looks amazing and I couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend Lindsey for all of your landscape architecture and pool design needs. **Comment from LWB Design Landscape Architecture:** > Thank you Maripat for this amazing and thoughtful review of my work. I value the trust you've given me in shaping the overall plan as well as allowing me to assemble the team for implementing this extensive property transformation. It's been awesome working with you. This design project has been a landscape architect's dream. I'm grateful for the opportunity to be involved with your lovely property. Thank you! **★★★★★ — Valerie Geller, Dec. 2021** > We are currently working with Lindsey at LWB Design on a comprehensive project for the exterior of our home. She has considered many aspects of our 1928 Tudor that were in need of being addressed, and we hadn't considered. Lindsey is extremely knowledgeable, practical, thoughtful, intentional, and creative. We are thrilled to have her involved in this renovation. **Comment from LWB Design Landscape Architecture:** > Valerie it has been my pleasure to work with you on your quaint Tudor styled home! Thank you for the kind review based on our consultation back in September 2021 and I'm thrilled to be commissioned to help you with your current renovation. Thank you for the opportunity! **★★★★★ — 9ridge, Dec. 2020** > Lindsey is the complete package. First and foremost is her creative design capability backed up by experience and talent. Our LWB project was comprehensive: a new, custom modern home with 3+ acres of land requiring everything from grading, lighting to all things green The process began with Lindsey quickly understanding our goals through good listening and interaction. These owner objectives get married up with her vast knowledge of all things landscape organic: trees, grasses, bushes and the like. The green scape is then complimented by hardscape: walkways, stones, fencing, lighting - there wasn't anything we encountered that Lindsey couldn't handle. The project design gets refined with Zoom design reviews and on-site visits, allowing important input from all stakeholders. In our case, this required Lindsey to also work closely with our custom home builder, which went smoothly. Lastly, Lindsey is extremely organized. The design review notes are well documented and the site and construction drawings are very professional so that owners and landscapers will understand the expectations without confusion. Her invoices are accurate and detailed. If you want a top notch design and a true professional, Lindsey is your person. **Comment from LWB Design Landscape Architecture:** > Thank you for your thoughtful words. It's been such a joy to work with you and your wife! Your trust and willingness to envision the possibilities has made it easy to push for creative solutions. It was my pleasure to create a modern landscape design that matches your beautiful house. Thank you for bringing me into your home build! **★★★★★ — Tom & Kelly Schrader, Jan. 2019** > Lindsey has a great passion and talent for designing and delivering an outstanding landscape design. We believe her success comes from listening to her clients desires and observing their lifestyles. > > Lindsey put a lot of thought into all the different aspects of our project and we were absolutely blown away. **Comment from LWB Design Landscape Architecture:** > Thank you Tom & Kelly! It has been a pleasure working with you both! I love your modern design taste. I had an absolute blast designing the unique spaces on your property and creating solutions that matched the modern uniqueness of your custom home. Thank you for the opportunity to work on your beautiful project! **★★★★★ — Jacqueline Samuel, Nov. 2018** > Lindsey is a resourceful professional responding creatively to my new solar house building project. She is a pleasure to work with, being responsive and timely in providing her proposed plans. I am delighted to have found her for my landscaping hardscape and plantings needs.

Her education, experience and guidance provided the help I needed to completely redesign my front yard using her drawings. **★★★★★ — User, July 2015** > Lindsey was wonderful to work with. She listened to our concerns and collaborated well with our hydro engineer and the city engineer to come up with a plan to address our property's flooding concerns. The plan combined form and function beautifully.

She listens well and articulates my requirements with her creative design ideas, thereby serving as an extension of the customer. Her design is the envy of the neighborhood. **★★★★★ — mgionet91, April 2015** > Following Lindsey's creative and productive tenure with LSG, we subsequently retained her to assist us with other ongoing projects.

Her enthusiasm combined with her expertise, creativity and attention to detail has far surpassed our original expectations for completion of our project. **★★★★★ — Eric Schneider, July 2014** > My wife and I highly recommend LWB Design. Lindsey delivered an excellent design, handled the bid process, and worked with the contractors to deliver our dream yard. Lindsey is easy to work with, very thorough, and always available.

My work includes mid-century modern designs, pool plantings, outdoor living spaces, and general residential landscapes. We focus on revealing the beauty of each site through careful observation and creative design. **Do you offer design-only services or full project coordination?** We offer comprehensive design services, from simple planting plans to detailed construction documents.

We create detailed planting plans and comprehensive layout plans, ranging from simple designs to full sets of construction documents. Our services include drafting, garden design, and site planning to ensure every detail of your landscape vision is meticulously documented. **Do you design outdoor living spaces such as patios and outdoor kitchens?** Yes, designing inviting outdoor living spaces is a key part of our expertise.

Is it a veneer? What is stone?** *(in Photo Questions)* Love the look. Where was it sourced and is it a veneer? Thanks A: We specified the same cultured stone found on the home. Since the builder was the construction manager, we simply stated in our drawings to match the home. The exact specification may not be available anymore, but if you go to your local stone supply source you will probably find other cultured stone products with a similar dry stacked look. **Q: cultured stone?** *(in Photo Questions)* This is a beautiful project? Is cultured stone often used for a patio wall like this? Our contractor recommended it, and I'm just investigating it! Thank you! A: Thank you! Cultured stone is a man-made product that is most often used in new home construction interior and exterior. Improvements have come a long way over the years and to the untrained eye, it can be hard to tell it apart from real stone. I would recommend it if your budget does not allow for natural stone. In this project we used it to match the same cultured stone on the house. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-17.*
