Retaining Walls
There are few things in landscape that are as timeless and attractive as a boulder retaining wall. Boulders do not suffer from weathering or erosion with harsh climate changes. Some clients need them to strengthen sloped terrains while others desire them just for decorative purposes or dividing up areas of their property. The most common function of boulder retaining walls is the prevention of soil erosion. Below is a list of just some of the incredible advantages of building a boulder retaining wall on your property!
-
They offer natural drainage. Using boulders ensures that excess water can drain through the wall.
-
They showcase the raw beauty of natural stones in many shapes, sizes and colors. The average boulder we use for retaining walls is three to four feet around and weighs approximately three thousand pounds.
-
They are built to last and provide a sense of strength and sturdiness. Boulder retaining walls are the oldest type of retaining wall and have the longest life span.
-
They will keep soil in place on your property and strengthen a sloped terrain
-
They can be budget friendly as they can be constructed from field stones.

Outdoor Kitchens
Take your outdoor kitchen to the next level with a variety of options we offer for our outdoor kitchen designs! Just like your home’s interior, the backyard should reflect your lifestyle and be elevated to tell a story about who you are. Outdoor kitchen design takes careful planning, and it gives you the chance to personalize an often-overlooked part of many properties. Outdoor kitchens extend your living space while keeping those food smells outside. Grilling outdoors often leads to cleaner eating and an improved quality of life! A built-in grill, ceramic kamado, flat top griddle, pizza oven, side burners, drawers for accessories, bar, outdoor refrigerator, and wine cooler are just some of the options that can create a functional space during those months when you want to entertain outdoors with family and friends!
Patios & Walkways
Patios provide the floor for an outdoor space, a gathering area for guests, and a quiet retreat for family. A walkway provides a defined walking path and aesthetically adds to the beauty of your curb appeal. Flagstone patios have a very natural, organic look due to their shape and earthy shades of browns, creams, and grays. Flagstone provides a durable patio surface that will last for years.
Flagstone is one of the best materials for patios primarily due to its narrow-packed joints that allow water to permeate instead of creating heavy run off. Our flagstone comes in larger slabs, typically 24" or greater and can be sealed and textured to aid in slip resistance and enhance the color. The most common types of natural flagstone we use for patios are granite, quartzitic sandstone and quartzite. All our flagstone is natural stone that is quarried and reclaimed from the beautiful hills of Wisconsin. Every piece of this stone is brilliantly unique and can vary in shade and veining due to its organic nature. Every patio or walkway is truly one-of-a-kind! Learn more about our preferred patio and walkway flagstone choices below!
Aqua Grantique is a layered and stratified type of granite that comes in beautiful shades of black, gray, and blue. This stone has a water absorption rate of 0% and has the greatest strength and density of all our stones to handle the harsh Midwest winters.
Cambrian Cream is a quartzitic sandstone that is a fine grain light buff and is primarily light cream and beige in color. This stone has a water absorption rate of only 0.5 % and has the strength and density to handle the harsh Midwest winters.
Water Features
Water features have become a popular part of modern landscaping and are an economical and engaging art form for residential and commercial properties alike. Water features provide soothing sights and sounds that help promote relaxation and de-stress from today’s busy lifestyles. Through relaxation you can greatly improve physical and mental health. Below are some of the water features that can allow you to prop your feet up and enjoy the therapeutic effects and sounds of Mother Nature!
Natural Ponds
Natural ponds are a basic landscape feature that has proven immensely popular with homeowners. A filtration system is installed in order to keep the water clean. Many homeowners will add other features such as a waterfall, fish and water plants to add additional enjoyment. Natural ponds can be designed to meld seamlessly with virtually any landscape.
Pondless Waterfalls
While most waterfalls are designed with a pond at the bottom you can negate the pond for a different look and feel. Because there is no stagnant water to worry about maintaining, this type of waterfall is a great option as we install an auto fill feature that will compensate for any evaporation. These waterfalls offer the same luxury and relaxation without taking up as much space.
Waterfalls
The standard waterfall can be designed as a standalone feature or added to a pool or pond area to give it a more natural aura. Our waterfalls are fabricated out of real stones and boulders. We can offer many different waterfall shapes and sizes . The amount and of noise generated by a standard waterfall will depend on the water movement built into the design and the number of drops.
Spillways
A spillway is a stylish highlight for your patio or landscaping project. As the incoming water rushes in, the water is diffused by strategically positioned internal barriers, creating a smooth flow of water. The soothing sheet of water adds beauty and elegance to any environment. LED lights can be added to ramp up the beauty and elegance into the night.
Laminar Jets
Laminar Jets are streams of water that flow from the jets and can be as wide or narrow as you like. They can be expelled intermittently using programmable units. LED lighting can be added to produce the effect of a solid stream of liquid light that can be quite compelling for nighttime pool parties. Laminar Jets are commonly used in pools and contemporary water features.
Garden Streams
Garden streams are a charming type of water feature that can range in size and shape depending on the amount of space in the landscaping. A stream adds visual and audio appeal to the area and can help to break up the area around the landscape into separate and distinct environments. Plants, rock, and waterfalls can be added to streams to enhance the beauty and natural feel!
Outdoor Stairs
Complete the look of your patio or outdoor living space with our large collection of natural stone steps. You do not have to let the hills and slopes in your yard stop you from enjoying your outdoor space. With a little imagination you can change those hills into striking natural staircase features. The outcome of the project is a practical path and steps that give you convenient yard access to new areas of your property. From granite, quartzitic sandstone, quartzite and more, we have the perfect stone to compliment an existing setup or a newly designed outdoor space.
Shoreline Repair
Rip rap is natural stone used to protect shorelines from erosion. Shoreline erosion is an entirely natural process that is constantly evolving the terrain along lakes, streams, and rivers. It is the gradual or sometimes more rapid removal of sediments along a shoreline. Erosion can be caused by several factors including high winds, waves, stormy weather, ice, shifting temperatures, run off, and loss of vegetation. Rip rap has a soft, pleasant, natural looking appearance that beautifies your property while protecting your shoreline. The rocks give your property a finished look. Rip rap can be done year-round, even during the freezing months, as there is little to no damage to your lawn!
Our rip rap technique is applicable to many different types of shorelines. Our stone generally ranges in size from 6”-12” which is ideal for river and inland lake shorelines. Our dedicated and efficient team excavates the shoreline to the proper grade. We then secure a filter fabric to the shoreline to prevent erosion of existing soil under the newly laid stone. Once the shoreline is adequately secured, we complete the rip rap install for you to enjoy your new shoreline on and off the water!
Outdoor Lighting
Today’s outdoor spaces are extensions of our homes. Outdoor lighting can transform your outdoor space into a beautiful getaway at night! Our lighting systems are designed to deliver beautiful results and to withstand the harsh elements of every season. A lighting system is designed to meet the many needs of the property owner and there are several other benefits that reveal themselves during the process.
Elevated Aesthetic
Outdoor lighting enhances the natural beauty and energy of your property. It highlights charming features, illuminates pathways, and creates an alluring ambiance. As you think about outdoor lighting, consider all the features worthy of attention.
Increased Safety and Security
At night, outdoor lights in the right position allow you and others to move around your property safely in the dark. Outdoor lighting helps protect your home or business against intruders. Our outdoor lighting systems are designed to enhance security without sacrificing style.
Enhanced Property Value
Professional outdoor lighting adds value in more ways than one. It adds beauty and increases usability of desired outdoor spaces after dark. One of the most affordable strategies to impact property value is to boost curb appeal with outdoor lighting.
Enjoy Your Yard
Lighted areas offer extended efficiency and use of the property after dark. Above all else, good lighting makes every step outside more enjoyable. There is no greater place than your own space to relax, entertain and explore.
