Jennifer creates extremely detailed, custom 3-D landscape designs for our clients along with sourcing plant material for projects. I would highly recommend her to anyone! **Comment from Outside Influence Landscape Design Group, LLC:** > Thanks Kevin! Looking forward to working together again very soon! **★★★★★ — AR Homes - Cincinnati, OH, Feb. 2015** > Jennifer did an amazing job with the landscape design at our Homearama 2014 show home in Carriage Hill in Liberty Township. Her virtual 3-D video tours prior to installation helped us "see" the finished product weeks before the home was even complete. Her design work was timely and she worked hand in hand with our landscape installer to maximize our budget. I would highly recommend Outside Influence for your next landscape design project. **★★★★★ — walker93, Jan. 2015** > Jen and Robin have done a fabulous job on our landscaping needs. They listen to what you want and work their magic! Outside Influence is able to digitally let you know what the final plan will look like and adjust accordingly. Jen was able to take my vision and bring it to life! We have used them for several projects around our home. **★★★★★ — artistmatthews, Jan. 2015** > Jen Barlow from Outside Influence Landscape Design was a joy to work with and a true professional. She listened to all of our concerns and issues and came up with a design for our yard that far exceeded our expectations. We had many issues of erosion and bare patches because we couldn't get grass to grow so Jen solved all our problems with beautiful gravel pathways, an arched bridge, a ledge stone retaining wall and artistically designed landscape beds. What use to be nothing but a headache has now been replaced with a "park like" setting. It's truly a yard that we can be proud of and will enjoy for years to come. Thanks Jen!! > -Lisa Matthews **★★★★★ — Michelle Scanlan\_Schnee, Aug. 2013** > This is a great company. We wanted to redo our straight and narrow sidewalk into a curving wide sidewalk; redo our straight lined "flower bed/mulched/tree" area into something more curvy and inviting. We had to have our giant front yard tree taken down and she was able to show us what we could make it into. After seeing the digital format of it all we were sold and hired her. Our front yard looks AMAZING!! We get compliments on it all the time and I even think we have encouraged the neighbors to "makeover" their sidewalks/porches. > We have a 3 vehicles and a cramped garage. She also helped us design a detached garage with outdoor seating/kitchen area. This is all saved on a disc that she gave us. When we have he funds this will be our next project. > Her business partner,Robin, helped us design a kitchen pantry. All communication and digital pictures were down via emails. We had converted our small walkway into our bathroom into a pantry and she designed the look of our shelves. We LOVE Ikea so she sent us a list of everything that we needed. Our kitchen pantry looks great and we are very happy with it. > I highly recommend these ladies for landscaping and interior designing. **Comment from Outside Influence Landscape Design Group, LLC:** > Thanks Michelle! We enjoyed the process.

They wanted to move away from the more structured and traditional plantings that were in place prior to the renovation. We reused and tweaked the lines of the existing beds, and added mostly native perennial material to give it a more "wild" feel. Around the pond, we added several areas of native meadow seed mix for pockets of wild nature. We included several large boulders, and also inst… - [City Life with a View](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/city-life-with-a-view-pj-vj~160281) - Location: Cincinnati, OH - Photos: 22 - Description: Our client moved into this 1974 contemporary home that overlooks the scenic Ohio River.
