Meet the Team

Founded in 1984 by Ching Lin, a University of Georgia-educated landscape architect with a forestry background, Artistic Outdoors brings a unique blend of academic training and practical artistry to Cheshire's outdoor spaces. A Marine veteran who came to the US from Taiwan for graduate studies, Ching approaches every project—from stone walls and pools to garden designs—with a disciplined focus on integrity and lasting quality. His personal passions for nature, photography, and qigong inform a thoughtful, balanced design philosophy. For nearly four decades, this locally-owned business has built its reputation in Connecticut not on flashy promises, but on consistent, professional workmanship, innovative yet functional designs, and a commitment to delivering a worry-free experience for every homeowner.

Common Questions

Can you help with a patchy lawn and weedy mulch beds, which are common issues in Cheshire?

Absolutely. As a full-service landscape design and construction firm, we address the root causes of patchy grass and weeds. For lawns, this often involves proper grading and irrigation design during our landscape installation to ensure even water distribution. For mulch beds, we construct clean, defined edges with materials like stone or pavers to prevent grass encroachment and use quality weed barriers under mulch. Our holistic approach ensures your new landscaping is built to last and easier to maintain.

Do you handle both the design and construction of projects like outdoor kitchens and pools?

Yes, we provide complete in-house design and construction services. Founder Ching Lin holds a Master's in Landscape Architecture, so every project begins with a professional design tailored to your property and lifestyle. Our same experienced team then executes the construction, whether it's an outdoor kitchen, a custom pool, or a patio. This seamless process, backed by over 35 years of experience, ensures the final build accurately reflects the planned vision with consistent quality.

What sets your masonry work on stone walls and patios apart?

Our masonry is defined by superb workmanship and structural integrity. We don't just install features; we construct them to last for decades in Connecticut's climate. This means proper excavation, gravel bases, and drainage for patios and walkways, and structurally sound, mortared construction for retaining and exterior walls. Combined with an eye for aesthetic detail and natural material selection, this results in beautiful, durable hardscapes that become permanent assets to your home.
