Q&A
As a licensed landscape architect, what does John bring to residential design projects in Door County?
John Meredith, holding a Wisconsin landscape architecture license since 1995, provides professional design oversight that ensures your project is not only beautiful but also functionally sound and sustainable for our local environment. His expertise, from his education at UW-Madison to years of local experience, means he understands Door County's specific soil conditions, plant hardiness, and drainage challenges. This professional approach is applied to everything from greenscape design and patio installations to complex retaining walls, ensuring a cohesive plan that enhances your property's value and enjoyment.
We have issues with our lawn grading and shifting rock gardens in Sturgeon Bay. Can you help?
Absolutely. Poor grading and unstable rock features are common challenges in our area due to soil composition and freeze-thaw cycles. Our process begins with a site analysis by our licensed landscape architect to diagnose the root cause. We then correct the grading through expert landscape construction and can design and install permanent, structurally sound retaining walls or reset rock gardens with proper base materials to prevent future shifting. This fixes the immediate problem and protects your other landscaping investments.
Do you handle both the design and construction of outdoor living spaces like patios and walkways?
Yes, we are a true design-build firm. Our licensed landscape architect creates the initial design, and our skilled construction team executes the installation. This seamless process applies to patios, walkways, driveways, and exterior living structures like decks and pergolas. Managing both phases in-house ensures the finished project matches the design vision precisely, maintains quality control, and provides you with a single point of contact from concept through completion.
