Donovan Wilson, founder of OAK Outdoors, combines a love for the outdoors with a creative eye for transforming spaces. Originally trained in aviation, Donovan now spends his time designing beautiful landscapes and flying to new destinations across the U.S.
Donovan Wilson has always had a thing for the outdoors, growing up with a deep appreciation for nature. But it wasn’t until he bought his first home that his love for landscaping really took off. What started as a simple DIY project to spruce up his yard turned into a full-blown passion for creating outdoor spaces that are as beautiful as they are functional. It was during this personal project that Donovan discovered just how transformative a well-designed landscape can be. That spark of inspiration led to the birth of OAK Outdoors.
But here’s a fun twist: Donovan didn’t always have dirt under his nails! He actually went to school for aviation and is a certified commercial pilot! When he's not designing dream landscapes, Donovan is often flying to new destinations all across the U.S., taking in the scenery from above.
At OAK Outdoors, Donovan brings his unique blend of creativity and a hands-on, personalized approach to every project. He knows that a great outdoor space is more than just a pretty view—it’s a reflection of the homeowner’s style and vision. That’s why collaboration is key, and each project is crafted to fit the client’s personality and goals.
Under Donovan’s leadership, OAK Outdoors has become known for its mix of creativity, sustainability, and client-first philosophy. Donovan’s journey from a first-time homeowner to a landscape professional shows in every design he creates, leaving a lasting impact on homes and communities alike.
