Building the right Landscape solutions
Often, when it comes to landscape design and development, there are other facets that need to be taken into consideration in order to make sure your landscape environment functions as well as it looks. We can help you think through and plan for important pieces like stormwater management, drainage, and collection.
“ Nakoma Drainage” Our clients wanted to ensure storm water ran clear of their home. This proved to be a challenge, as drainage pipes had to be run through a side yard previously occupied by an enormous Locust tree. The whole of the root system had to be removed to accomplish the work.
StormWater Management & Drainage Solutions
Managing rainwater is likely the most important element to a well- functioning landscape. A good surface drainage plan is often the difference between a wet or dry basement.
A long neglected home with so much potential. Our clients initially hired us to remove the soil along the west foundation, as it was buried with feet of earth. The project necessitated a retaining wall and steps. Our design featured the use of CedarTone timbers and Weathered Fond du Lac Boulders. As they reached the completion of their interior renovation they looked to the yard. One primary concern was moving water away from the home. The design intention was to achieve a minimalist mid century look, featuring a dry stream bed with local fieldstone and Big John River Rock, Fond du Lac outcropping, native grasses and thoughtfully placed specimen evergreens.
Surface drainage
Stormwater management is our expertise. Drainage correction can solve a wide range of concerns for homeowners, from negative grading along your foundation and erosion to pooling or ponding.
“Bubbling Boulders” This focal point was included in an expansive patio design. The underground water basin serves as a catchment for stormwater and the source for the bubbling boulder feature. The Boulders were acquired from a WI quarry and bored on site, the primary boulder was chiseled to form a bird bath. All boulders are lit with fountain lights from Aquascape to continue the beauty into the night.
Rain garden
Most homeowners unknowingly contribute to stormwater runoff into curb and gutter systems. A rain garden or bio swale can be a great solution — helping to preemptively capture to slow the water movement and act as a filter is it percolates into the earth.
Rain Water Harvesting
Thousands of gallons of rainwater run off our roofs every year — and capturing this water for reuse just makes sense. We can help you collect and reuse this rainwater with a simple rain barrel or a more complex underground application.
