Meet The People Who
Make ZLM Feel Like Home

Where Family Values
Drive Every Project

At ZLM Outdoor Living, we believe the best work starts with a strong foundation, and that foundation is our people. From sales to site work, our team is made up of passionate professionals who care deeply about quality, community, and craftsmanship.

ZLM started with one teenager mowing lawns in his neighborhood. Now, we’re a full-service outdoor living design and build firm, and the family-style values we started with still guide us today.

Our Culture: Work Hard.
Care Deeply. Build Boldly.

We believe outdoor spaces are about more than stone and steel, they’re about people. At ZLM, we foster a team environment where every employee is valued, supported, and empowered to grow. From the office to the job site, we treat each other like family, and that culture is reflected in every space we create.

We don’t subcontract the magic. With 95% of our work done in-house, you're not just getting a team, you're getting our team.
