We head north to Green Bay for the right projects, bringing owner-supervised design and hardscaping to Titletown's established neighborhoods.
Green Bay needs no introduction — Lambeau, Bay Beach, the Fox River meeting the bay. Beyond the landmarks, it is a city of established, tree-lined neighborhoods where homes have settled in over decades and the landscapes are due for a refresh.
Green Bay is one of our named service areas, and we make the trip north for projects that fit. Mature yards, older hardscape ready for a rebuild, and homeowners who want the owner's personal attention are exactly the work we travel for.
Many Green Bay neighborhoods have been around long enough that the original landscaping has aged out — overgrown beds, tired plantings, and hardscape that has heaved over the winters. We specialize in the reset: clearing what is not working, rebuilding beds, and installing hardscape that will last another twenty years.
Mature trees are a gift and a constraint. We work with the shade and the root systems, choosing plants that thrive under an established canopy instead of fighting it.
Green Bay winters are, if anything, a touch harder than Appleton's. Our patios and walls go in on deep, compacted bases with proper drainage so the freeze-thaw does not heave them. It is the same standard we hold across the Valley, engineered for the north.
A custom, buildable plan for your whole yard — drainage, plantings, and hardscape that fit your property and our climate.

Learn moreOur landscaping was 25 years old and tired. They cleared it out and rebuilt everything — the yard looks brand new.
We do. Green Bay is one of our primary service areas, about 35 minutes north. For projects that fit, we bring the same owner-supervised quality we do in the Fox Cities.
That is a specialty. We clear out aged plantings and failing hardscape, rebuild the beds and grade, and install fresh, low-maintenance landscaping designed to last decades.
Yes. We build patios and walls on deep, compacted, well-drained bases specifically so the freeze-thaw does not heave them — the same engineering we use throughout northeast Wisconsin.
