Q&A
What's involved in your landscape design process for an Appleton home?
Our process begins with understanding your vision and how you want to use your space. Chad Sprangers, our NALP-certified founder, combines his Urban Forestry background with over 50 years of team experience to create a customized plan. We assess your property's specific conditions, like sun exposure and existing drainage, then design a cohesive layout that may include patios, planting beds, and outdoor kitchens. For many Appleton-area homes, we address common issues like soil compaction right in the design phase to ensure a beautiful and functional result that enhances your property's value and your daily life.
My yard in Appleton has areas of standing water and compacted soil. Can you help with that?
Absolutely. Poor drainage and soil compaction are frequent challenges in our local clay-based soils. We address this by integrating solutions directly into your landscape or hardscape project. This can include regrading areas to direct water flow, installing subsurface drainage systems like French drains, or using permeable base materials under patios to improve absorption. For lawns, we may recommend core aeration as part of our lawn care services. Correcting these issues is foundational to creating a healthy, usable outdoor space that won't suffer from water damage or muddy areas.
Do you handle the electrical work for outdoor lighting and kitchens?
Yes, we provide a complete, integrated service. Our team manages all necessary electrical installation and repair for projects like low-voltage landscape lighting systems, hardwired fixture installation for patios, and the dedicated circuits required for outdoor kitchens. This includes everything from running new conduit and wiring to connecting appliances and ensuring all work meets local Appleton building codes. Handling it in-house means a smoother process for you and a cohesive final result where the lighting and functionality are perfectly matched to the design.
