The studio

Outdoor Ink is a design-only landscape firm in Nashville. We listen until we understand what you want the property to do, then draw thoughtful, tasteful plans built to stand the test of time.

How we work

We listen first, then we draw

Our strategy is simple. Listen to and understand our clients, then outperform their expectations. Because we design and do not install, the plan you get answers your property rather than a crew’s schedule.

Read our approach
  • A design-only firmWe draw the plans and we do not install them. Nothing in a recommendation depends on who is holding the shovel, which is why the drawing answers your garden rather than a crew's schedule.
  • Listen firstOur strategy is simple: listen to and understand our clients, then outperform their expectations. The brief comes out of a conversation, not a catalogue.
  • Plans that hold upThoughtful, tasteful landscape plans that stand the test of time. A drawing is only good if the garden still reads well once it has grown in.
What we do

Five disciplines, one set of drawings

All services

A measured master plan for the whole property, drawn to scale so every contractor bids from the same set of drawings.
