It began with inspiration-led designs
Growing up surrounded by nature, Jim discovered his love for landscaping and outdoor design while working at a golf course at the age of 12.
His early experiences sparked a lifelong passion that led him to pursue a degree in Turfgrass Management and Landscape Design from Southern Illinois University.
After years of refining his skills with top landscape companies, Jim founded Inspired Designs with a commitment to providing clients with a unique, personalized experience.

Over the years, we’ve grown into a trusted name in Columbus, known for our personalized service and dedication to quality.

For Jim, each project is an opportunity to create a sanctuary for families, a place to gather, relax, and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors. We believe in hands-on involvement, meeting with every client to ensure that their dreams for their outdoor space become a reality.

Jim and his crew are exceptional! From taking the time to create a video to explain the process on his email reply, to being super responsive to coordinate with other projects I had going on, I can't say enough good things about them.
Excellent service! Really friendly people! Our front walkway looks amazing at a very reasonable cost. We look forward to working with them again on other projects.
This company is one of the good ones. I reached out in the fall last year to discuss a big stamped concrete patio project that we were tentatively planning to do this spring. The project involved the demolition of an existing concrete patio and paver patio. It was very easy to schedule a consultation.
We recently had the pleasure of working with Inspired Design & Contracting on installing a new concrete driveway. We were very impressed with the quality of the product and the workmanship. All the staff were great to work with. We are a repeat customer as they also installed a brick patio last summer. I would highly recommend this company.
I had Inspired Design and Contracting put in a new retaining wall and replace my concrete steps and sidewalk and I’m very happy with the end product. I got quotes from 3 contractors, and Jim’s proposal was the most thorough as well as the most reasonably priced. He was quick to respond to my inquiries and quick to resolve a few minor things. I highly recommend them.
We just had a stamped concrete patio installed and are thrilled with the excellent, quality job completed by Jim and the team at Inspired Design and Contracting! The process was smooth, seamless and stress free from start to finish…and it was even completed way ahead of schedule!!
The Inspired Design & Contracting team did a fantastic job replacing our old brick paver porch with beautiful stamped concrete. Jim gave excellent advice on the design, clearly communicated with us during each step, and completed the project on time.
Our Renovation Process is designed to be stress-free, every step of the way.
