FAQs

What's a common approach to fixing standing water and compacted soil in Milwaukee yards?

We often address these linked issues with a holistic plan. For soil compaction, we use specialized aeration techniques and amend the soil to restore health. For standing water, we design and install solutions like French drains, rain gardens, or regraded swales that manage runoff sustainably, directing water away from foundations and into the landscape where it can be beneficial. Our background in ecological restoration and water management is key to creating a yard that's both beautiful and functional.

Do you handle both the design and construction of a project?

Yes, we are a full-service custom design/build firm. Our process starts with a collaborative conversation to understand your vision, followed by our team creating a detailed landscape design. We then manage and build the project from start to finish, handling everything from carpentry and hardscapes like patios and retaining walls to the final plantings and irrigation. This integrated approach ensures your vision is realized seamlessly.

Can you build custom play structures or natural playgrounds?

Absolutely. Creating dynamic play environments is a passion rooted in our belief that space can change lives. We craft unique, safe play spaces like treehouses, natural playgrounds with logs and boulders, and custom benches or fences. We use fine carpentry skills to build structures that encourage creativity and connect kids to the outdoors, reflecting our extensive experience in this specialized area.
