Design Outside, LLC is a landscape architecture and design-build firm based in Westport, Massachusetts, specializing in residential landscapes shaped by enduring design principles, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a deep respect for place. The firm practices a landscape architect–led design-build process that aligns design intent, cost, and construction within a single, accountable team.

From comprehensive site analysis through fully resolved construction documents and on-site execution, Design Outside guides projects with clarity and precision. Design decisions are evaluated against constructibility, sequencing, long-term performance, lifecycle cost, and maintenance, ensuring that landscapes are carefully detailed, technically sound, and built to age gracefully over time. This disciplined process allows the firm to provide clear, all-in pricing based on a complete understanding of scope, giving clients confidence from the outset.

During construction, fieldwork is treated as a continuation of the design process. Close coordination, attention to detail, and strong field leadership ensure that what is designed is executed as intended. The result is a collaborative experience and landscapes defined by lasting beauty, integrity of craft, and long-term performance—delivered with alignment, accountability, and care from first concept through final installation.
