The Town of Center sits between Appleton and the farm country to the northwest, taking in the crossroads community of Mackville. It's close enough to town for an easy commute but rural enough for real elbow room.
We design Center landscapes to suit that in-between character — a finished, well-scaled yard near the house and low-maintenance ground beyond.

- the County JJ corridor
- the rural subdivisions
- the Apple Creek area

Rural Residential, Done Well
Center's lots give us room to work. We build defined outdoor spaces near the home, handle the drainage that clay and open ground demand, and keep the outer areas simple and durable through our winters.
