Will my landscape improve over time with maintenance?

Yes. Consistent, professional care not only maintains your property, but it also improves it. Proper pruning, soil health, and plant care all contribute to stronger, more vibrant landscapes over time.

Are permits required for building a seawall, and do you handle that process?

Yes. Seawall projects often require permits from agencies such as the Wisconsin DNR, as well as local county, township, or municipal authorities. We manage the permitting process on your behalf, ensuring everything is handled properly so your project can move forward smoothly.

Do you provide grading, drainage, and shoreline or water management services?

Yes. We offer both rough and finished grading services, typically as part of a larger landscape project, with drainage always being a key consideration. Proper grading and water management are critical to the long-term performance of your landscape.

We also have extensive experience in shoreline management, including the construction of seawalls on inland lakes like Elkhart Lake or Green Lake, as well as along Lake Michigan. Managing stormwater is one of our strengths—we design solutions that not only function properly but also integrate seamlessly into the overall landscape, a capability that has earned us national recognition for our work.

How do you approach solving stormwater issues on a property?

There are several effective ways to manage stormwater, and the right solution depends on your property and goals. Proper grading and drainage are often the foundation. From there, we may incorporate features like dry stream beds or bioswales to help channel and direct water. Rain gardens can absorb and filter runoff naturally, while underground retention systems manage water out of sight. In some cases, permeable paving is also a great option, allowing water to pass through surfaces rather than run off. Our approach is to design solutions that function properly while integrating seamlessly into your landscape.

What materials do you use to build seawalls?

Our seawalls are typically constructed using natural stone. The specific type of stone varies based on both the aesthetic goals of the project and the functional requirements of the shoreline, ensuring a solution that is both durable and visually cohesive with the surrounding landscape.
