The self-styled White Bass Capital, Fremont is a Wolf River village where life revolves around the water.
Fremont sits where the Wolf River widens toward Partridge Lake, a boating and fishing village west of Appleton. Much of the property here is waterfront or close to it, which puts drainage and shoreline care at the center of every project.
We plan Fremont landscapes around the water — stabilizing banks, managing runoff, and choosing plants that thrive in a river-and-lake setting.
Waterfront ground means drainage and erosion come first. We stabilize banks with deep-rooted plantings and stone, manage the low, wet areas, and frame the view instead of blocking it. On the wooded lots, we lean on shade-tolerant natives that thrive under the canopy.
French drains, dry creek beds, rain gardens, and regrading that end standing water in our clay soil for good.
