KRISTI LEE IS TRANSFORMING HER BACKYARD WITH WASSON

You know her voice. Now we’re digging up her dirt.

Indiana’s most beloved radio personality is handing over her backyard to the Wasson Outdoor Design Build crew. Kristi Lee has spent decades getting the scoop on air; now we’re the ones doing the excavating. This landscape transformation is a multi-phase process that Kristi and her husband, Andy, have been wanting for a while now, and we’re documenting every step. Check back often as the project unfolds to find out about the plants and the backstory on why they were meticulously selected for each space. Get a behind-the-scenes look and watch as Kristi’s new landscape transforms and blends art with nature!

Phase 1: Vision & Design Concept

A Landscape with Personality (because the homeowners have it to match!)

Every Wasson Outdoor Design Build project begins with a conversation. Some are brief, some are more of a deep dive…

And then there’s this one with Indiana’s beloved, Kristi Lee… where there’s a lot to learn and talk about—in the best possible way! Kristi and her husband, Andy, didn’t just want a “nice yard.” They wanted spaces that could keep up with their lifestyle: entertaining, unwinding, bird-watching, and escaping.

Wasson Landscape Designer and Horticulturist, Kyley Lee, pulled up a chair, asked the right questions, and listened closely—because great designs start long before the first plant goes in the ground. Then, Kyley did what she does best: dove into designing custom environments around Kristi’s home with intentional layout and placement that balance beauty and function. She curated a variety of plants that provide texture, color, and longevity in an overall plan that has personality, privacy, and natural magic, season after season!

BACKYARD REVAMP IN PROGRESS!

The Wasson Outdoor Design Build team has begun the backyard revamp of Kristi’s space. Mother Nature had her way with our scheduling, but we’re getting dirty now!
Kristi and Andy wanted a more functional and aesthetically pleasing backyard for her and her family (and her pups) to enjoy. We will be extending some drainage, adding a small boulder retaining wall, a few nice flagstones to make it easier to enter the space, and installing several hand-selected plants Kyley chose that will thrive under the shaded canopy of the woods. We will also be relocating a few cherished plants for them.
