Patio Designers in Butler

“When my wife and I bought our first house, the term "fixer-upper" would be describing our experience mildy... Feeling overwhelmed on what to do with the exterior of our property, we reached out to Brent for guidance. He created a tailored landscape concept for us that turned our forever feeling of "work-in-progress" into a slice of heaven. He was extremely professional, punctual, and personable!”

“I first met Will Lehnert at a House & Garden show. He was strictly a landscape architect as opposed to a design/build that always seems a little incestuous to me. He was all about design and the projects he displayed had more style and panache then your typical project, so our journey began. The plan was to add a rear deck and nano-glass wall to the house that would allow the indoor space to flow seamlessly into the outdoor area, somewhat unusual for a non-tropical locale such as Ohio. He got the vision immediately and quickly brought the concept to life. He listened to not only what I was asking for but other details that he interestingly incorporated into the design.....New England style rock walls reminiscent of home and a custom hammock that I remarked in passing was my favorite spot at my summer house. The goal was to provide a secluded yard from the surrounding urban environment...an oasis within the city....while providing entertainment options. He incorporated different venues into the design...the shaded porch, sun deck, fire pit, hammock retreat, grass area for the dog, outdoor kitchen. He worked with the house architect and contractor and suggested a barn door for the garage that was also being reconstructed as part of this project so that a party could flow from the kitchen to the great room to the porch to the yard and right into the garage for additional space or in case of inclement weather. What this actually did was to tie the entire project together and created a center point...house, yard, garage. In fact, this worked just as envisioned. Upon completion, I hosted a large party and turned the garage into an arcade with pool table and other games which also then connected to a food truck to service dinner. As it would happen of course, a light rain did fall briefly and people moved into the garage and main house and the party went on uninterrupted. He also assisted in issuing the RFP and selecting the landscape and lighting contractors. He worked very well with them directly so that I didn't have to get in the middle of it. He also coordinated with the garage contractor and interior designer (yeah, I had a lot going on simultaneously!) In the end, the house was featured in a prestigious House Tour and was a hit. More importantly, I love the space. Anyways, my point here is that Will not only got my vision but listened to other aspects of my life and created a final product that far exceeded my expectations and original idea. He has been great to work with and highly recommend Outdoor Space Design.”

“Nick McCullough will exceed your every expectation. He is an excellent listener, creative mind, personable, and has excellent follow through. My husband and I began our relationship with Nick several years ago, as he transformed a tired patio space into a beautiful, private refuge....we feel like we're on vacation in our new outdoor room. Our experience was so pleasurable with Nick that we have continued to work with him on improving other areas of our property...hardscape, perennial gardens, landscape lighting and seasonal planters. In addition, his wonderful team can take care of pruning and pest control to maintain a beautiful landscape, and protect your investment. Nick is an excellent communicator, and any questions or problems that may arise during a project will be handled quickly and professionally. I recommend McCullough to all of my friends, and anyone I meet who is looking for landscape design. Thank you for making our property so beautiful.”

“We have had the pleasure of working with Bill and his team on a number of occasions. One project of note that comes immediately to mind is the outdoor cooking space he created at the Franklin Park Conservatory. Its a beautiful project. We appreciated the opportunity to contribute to its success.”

“Working cleverly within the constraints of our backyard easements, Custom Image Landscaping deigned and installed our amazing stone patio and landscaping. Highlights include one large area with built-in grill and room for table and chairs; and a second area with a built-in firepit, two stone planters and plenty of room for our sofa, tables, and oversized chair. The overall design includes a circular pattern on the patio floor, beautiful sets of stairs with lighting, and seat walls with columns and lighting. Landscaping completed the work, including a beautiful rock garden and additional beds with trees and bushes to provide shade and privacy. James and Brent were professional and meticulous, carefully constructing our patio within budget and in a timely manner and leaving the yard neat at the end of each day. We would highly recommend Custom Image Landscaping to others.”
