Home Outside Review

Home Outside is an online landscape design service that specializes in creating custom garden and landscape layouts. In addition to their custom landscape design services, they also offer a CAD-like mobile app. With the app, users can create their own virtual landscape plans on an overlay of their existing space. Home Outside also offers several pre-designed plant kits. Their plant kits are sold and distributed by the online greenhouse Fast Growing Trees and include both warm & cool climate kits for shade gardens and privacy hedges.

When working with Home Outside to create a custom garden or landscape plan, individuals start by purchasing and booking either a 30 or 60-minute consultation with a member of their design team. During that time, individuals can share preferences and site photos with their designer as well as discuss ideas for a potential custom landscape or garden design. After the consultation, Home Outside will follow up with a custom cost estimate for custom design services. While each project is unique, they note that services typically range from $500 - $1,000+ for custom garden designs & $800 - $5,000 for custom landscape designs. For that price, individuals receive custom master plans with design notes, 3D views of their space and envisioned plan, plan suggestions, and detailed drawings.

Strengths:

  • Offer a cheap ($2.99) app that DIY-landscape planners can use to design their own garden or landscape designs

  • Individuals can consult with a design specialist before committing to a custom plan

Reasons they might not be for you:

  • At the time of writing (February 2023) they don’t have any openings to consult with a designer. They are in the process of developing a technology-based solution that homeowners can use to design their own landscape plans. As they work on this option, individuals can sign-up to join their beta tester list.

  • You are looking for the option to purchase plants along with your custom design
