Can’t wait to see the full realization of the vision for our property in South Frankfort. We appreciated the personal consultation. The resulting design reflected our hopes and ideas. We are going to have lots of color. The plan incorporates many of our current plantings, including tulips transplanted from the Capitol and roses that have now seen four generations of our family. We have opted for the full maintenance package as well. A real relief, personally, as we face the realities of our age and acknowledge that we can no longer do such rigorous work ourselves. **Comment from Inside Out Design, LLC:** > Thank you all so much for this wonderful and thorough review! We love working with you and are happy to add beauty and ease to your lives. Thank you so much! **★★★★★ — Bethany Adams Interiors, March 2021** > After 3 years of living in our 1897 home, we decided it was time to tackle our drainage issues. We chose Inside Out Design because of their expertise in drainage (we live in Old Louisville where the lots are small and challenging), and we wanted to make our backyard more beautiful and functional. As a professional (interior) designer, I know I can be an exacting client, but Andrea and her team were more than happy to take my vision and make it 1,000 times better, while still giving me exactly what I asked for. Now that the spring rains have begun, it's even more obvious what a fantastic investment we've made in our backyard! Most importantly, for a historic home, the landscape design looks as though it's been here for years, not months. We can't wait to spend all of our time in the backyard this spring! **Comment from Inside Out Design, LLC:** > Thank you so much Bethany! It was a pleasure working with you! **★★★★★ — Patricia MacDonald, July 2020** > Inside Out Design did a wonderful job designing and installing an extended patio and built in fire pit in our back yard along with redesigning our back yard landscaping. Crews were always there on time and very professional. The project was completed quickly and we can't wait to have them back for more landscaping projects! **Comment from Inside Out Design, LLC:** > Thank you so much Patricia! It would a pleasure to work with you and create a new outdoor space for your family! **★★★★★ — jvermillion3, May 2019** > Inside Out installed a permeable paver driveway at our home and not only does it look amazing, it reduces runoff and has helped prevent moisture in our basement. The staff was helpful from start to finish, planning to completion. The installation team was courteous and worked very hard to complete the project despite Mother Nature not being very cooperative. We would highly recommend Inside Out for all your landscaping and gardening work! **Comment from Inside Out Design, LLC:** > Thank you James! We appreciate your business and were so thankful to work on your project as we love projects involving sustainabilty and great environmental practices! **★★★★★ — Ashley Kennedy, May 2019** > We just finished a huge outdoor project on our home in Frankfort. We essentially had a blank canvas and no idea how to even start making the front of our home look more inviting! Andrea came over and immediately starting giving us tons of ideas. We decided to move forward on aspects of the project, and hired them to build a porch and do some hardscaping - and it turned out fantastic! We get compliments from our neighbors and people passing by saying how great it looks and how well it fits into our historical neighborhood! We also appreciated Andrea's suggestions on things we could do on our own since we love DIY projects and also are newlywed home owners with a limited budget. I would absolutely recommend them, and if we ever have more outdoor projects they'd be the only company I'd consider! **Comment from Inside Out Design, LLC:** > Thank you Ashley! We loved working on your project. Such a cool space! **★★★★★ — Melanie VanHouten, May 2019** > Great company and crew. These folks have been part of the Frankfort community for a very long time and not only do they treat their customers well, they also give a lot of their time and expertise to local non-profits and schools. They are a true community partner and the crews have always been very professional. Thank you IOD for your support and for being an authority on native plants and innovative solutions to challenging landscape problems! **★★★★★ — Deniese Lopez, May 2019** > Inside Out completed an extensive backyard project for my family that included overseeing a pool installation, pool pavilion, landscaping, fencing, cleanup, addition of stairs/under decking and countless other details (a large and expensive project). From the initial meeting with both Michael and Andrea and all subsequent interactions with them and their crew, they were always professional and courteous. They went above and beyond to ensure our project went smoothly and that we were happy. Their crew was extremely friendly and professional as well. We have recommended their services to close friends without reservation and I would gladly choose them again for any future projects we may have. **Comment from Inside Out Design, LLC:** > Thank you so much Deniese! We truly appreciate your business and this wonderful review! **★★★★★ — Rex Fowler, May 2019** > Inside Out Design is fantastic company to do business with. Andrea is spectacular with design and Michael is a pleasure to work with. They did a complete design and landscape for us 10 years ago and the yard still looks like they did it yesterday. We have them come every other year to help with maintenance and they are prompt , do what they say they will do all for a reasonable price. If you need any work done please give them a call. you WILL NOT be disappointed. **★★★★★ — PRP Architects, Dec. 2014** > Inside Out Design is a wonderful family owned business. Working with Andrea, Mike and their team is a great pleasure. We admire their extraordinary passion for all things green, and see the results of this passion in their outstanding work. **★★★★ — Dee Hatfield, Feb. 2014** > We called almost all the landscape design companies in Louisville and this company was the best by far! When the weather gets better we will be consulting with them to design out patio. Their quote was reasonable and the response was timely! Everyone else we contacted either didn't come through with a quote or never responded to our phone calls or messages. If you're looking for someone who is going to shoot straight with you, this is your guy!!! Also, they're a husband and wife team!!!! **★★★★★ — tebrya0, Oct. 2013** > Inside out designed two new outdoor spaces for us and landscaping around the house. They extended our patio outside the basement with pavers and added a fire pit. They also designed a pool/spa area and helped guide the installation of it. Along with landscaping around the pool and more pavers. Everything was done on time and in a professional manner. Could not have been more pleased with the outcome. They pay attention to detail and make sure the job is completed properly. Would recommend to anyone. **★★★★★ — woolumshousehold, Sept. 2013** > Inside Our Design provides outstanding design and service. They are so knowledgeable and professional. Andrea and Michael are completely hands-on. The team is so easy to work with. They all treat you as if you are the only customer. We would highly recommend them and will continue to use them for all our needs. They know hard scrapes and landscapes. They truly are the best of the best!!!! ## Selected projects - [Edge of the Forest](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/edge-of-the-forest-pj-vj~7355892) - Location: Prospect, KY - Photos: 31 - Description: This project has been installed in phases over the span of about 3 years.

The first front renovation started with removal of daylily and a few other non-desirable plants being replaced with long bloomers and annual color.

The pool mirrors the sky, flickering with the last colors of day- while soft shadows stretch across the carefully placed stone and lush, living greens. Designed in 2024 and installed between 2024-2025, this haven invites slow evenings, spontaneous laughter, and moments you'll never forget.

The building’s Brutalist architectural style as well as its location at an intersection makes it a focal point. The client wanted to introduce a fresh “face” to the building as an icon representing the newly introduced bank. An historic clock located on the plaza and a well-recognized feature of downtown had to be incorporated. Design had to be sensitive… - [Prairies](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/prairies-pj-vj~6523209) - Location: Frankfort, KY - Photos: 24 - [Outdoor Living](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-living-pj-vj~6523230) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - [Fire and Water](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fire-and-water-pj-vj~6146621) - Location: Frankfort, KY - Photos: 22 - Description: A simple selection of plants in the front compliment this farm with classic plants, hydrangea, peony, phlox, catmint, sedge and evergreen accents. Landscape lighting highlights the architecture and plants at night. The real prize is the renovation completed several years later with a pool, fire pit, extended and renovated deck, sidewalk to the back, and much more! The saltwater pool was the driving factor in the design. The pool includes a sun ledge, hidden pool equipment and an automated cover.… - [Zen Courtyard](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/zen-courtyard-pj-vj~85696) - Location: Frankfort, KY - Photos: 12 - Description: A quiet sanctuary at the days’ end is a dream for anyone. The expanse of glass at the entry to the home provides a full view of a restful courtyard and a soothing spot for the mind. This Asian inspired space is simple at first glance, but as always with Japanese gardens, there is more than meets the eye. The entire courtyard functions as the central gathering point for the home’s water from the adjoining roofs and their gutter systems. The retaining walls were necessary to give the space height… - [Hydrology Meets Harmony](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hydrology-meets-harmony-pj-vj~7698309) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - Description: Custom corten beams, where some double as gutters, laid in a random stack, to mimic logs that are stacked across streams in stream restoration.

The owner had traveled to Japan decades ago as a 19-year-old and the way she lit up about her trip provided inspiration for the design. Two concepts were created – linear and organic – and through the design process, both were combined to create this unique space. The Japanese garden meets English cottage garden theme comes together with the unique use of Techo-Bloc Ant… - [Beach House on the Golf Course](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beach-house-on-the-golf-course-pj-vj~351038) - Location: Frankfort, KY - Photos: 26 - Description: Their “beach house on the golf course,” this space provides plenty of sitting and relaxation room for the couple and their guests. The garden is populated with low growing Scotch Moss, hosta, fern, and coreopsis in a simple, yet interesting planting scheme. Scotch moss brightens the space and creates a very tranquil feel. Drainage was an issue with this backyard. Before the work, rain would puddle in several areas of the yard and the downspouts had a chaotic look with splash blocks and many rock… [See all 40 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/landscape-architects-and-landscape-designers/inside-out-design-llc-pfvwus-pf~1795257522) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/116897734/list/wish-list) — 9 ideas - [Sustainable Landscaping](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/79480971/list/sustainable-landscaping) — 2 ideas - [House ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/22342177/list/house-ideas) — 2 ideas - [insideoutdesignfrankfortky's ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/22137145/list/insideoutdesignfrankfortky-s-ideas) — 3 ideas - [Modern design](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/22137207/list/modern-design) — 1 idea [See all 5 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/insideoutdesignfrankfortky) ## Community Q&A **Q: Heat Lamp** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me who makes the heat lamp?
