Where the Wolf River meets the lakes, Winneconne is a boating village with water at its heart.
Winneconne sits where the Wolf River flows between Lake Butte des Morts and Lake Poygan, a proud river village known for its lift bridge and its boating and fishing. A lot of the property here touches water, which shapes every landscape.
We plan Winneconne yards around the waterfront — stabilizing banks, managing drainage, and choosing wind- and moisture-tolerant plants that thrive near the lakes.
Waterfront property is beautiful and demanding. We stabilize banks with deep-rooted plantings and stone, manage the drainage that comes with low, near-water ground, and choose tough plants that take wind off the lakes.
Where a yard rolls toward the water, a low retaining wall can create usable, level space and hold the grade against erosion.
French drains, dry creek beds, rain gardens, and regrading that end standing water in our clay soil for good.
