Built for snow load, not just summer. A structure that's fine in July and collapses in a heavy snow year wasn't engineered for here, and Matt will tell you honestly if what you're picturing won't hold up.

Shade over a patio you already have.
Shade where there isn't any right now.
A freestanding structure for full-season use.
Nothing standard fits your space.




A structure that lasts here is designed backwards from the worst snow it will ever hold, not the nicest day you'll use it. Footings below the frost line, framing sized for real snow load, and connections built to carry it. Wisconsin's building code sets the floor on footing depth, and on this ground that's a floor rather than a target.

Landscaping covers the living elements of your outdoor space — lawns, plants, trees, mulch, and irrigation. Hardscaping refers to the non-living, structural elements like patios, retaining walls, walkways, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens. We handle both, so we can design a space that blends greenery with durable structure.
Timelines vary by project size and scope. A basic garden bed refresh might take a day, while a full patio or retaining wall installation can take days/weeks. We'll give you a specific timeline estimate before work begins.
Some projects — like retaining walls over a certain height, fire features, or structures near property lines — may require a permit depending on local regulations. We handle the permitting process for projects that need it, so you don't have to navigate it yourself.
Our quotes typically include materials, labor, equipment, and cleanup. Any additional costs (like permit fees or unexpected site conditions such as poor soil or drainage issues) will be discussed with you before we proceed.
Yes. We offer ongoing maintenance plans for lawns, plant beds, and hardscape upkeep (like re-sanding pavers or sealing stone) to keep your investment looking great year-round.
We accept [cash, check, credit card, etc.]. Most projects require a deposit to secure your spot on our schedule, with the remaining balance due upon completion.
While hardscaping (patios, walls, walkways) can often be done nearly year-round depending on weather, spring and fall are ideal for planting and lawn work. We recommend booking early, since our schedule fills up fast during peak seasons.
