As a landscape designer, author, and lecturer, I travel extensively across the U.S. and Canada. Wherever I go, I see tracts of houses without any landscaping around them. Inspired to address this problem, I wrote Home Outside: Creating the Landscape You Love (Taunton Press, 2009) and my team and I created a simple and fun app that people everywhere could use to design personalized landscapes.
We also created the Home Outside online design service, and for several years we’ve been doing concept designs and planting plans for properties around North America. We can now offer beautiful expert front yard and backyard design to everyone, at a price more homeowners can afford. We’re looking forward to designing your Home Outside.
