In a town proud enough to build a working Dutch windmill, the yards tend to have personality — and we love working with that.
Little Chute wears its Dutch heritage on its sleeve, from the authentic windmill on the Fox to the Great Wisconsin Cheese Festival every June. It is a community that takes pride in how things look, and that carries right into the backyard.
We build outdoor spaces here that give families a reason to stay outside during our short warm season — patios for gathering, fire pits for the shoulder months, and gardens that bring color from the first tulip to the last mum. The character of the town rubs off on the work.
Wisconsin only hands us so many warm evenings, so we design Little Chute yards to make the most of them. A fire pit and a comfortable paver patio can stretch your usable season from the first thaw in May well into the crisp nights of October.
We plan these spaces around how you actually gather — where the sun sets, where the wind comes from, and how many people usually end up out there on a Friday night.
A town with this much personality deserves plantings with some too. We mix hardy natives like coneflower and little bluestem with classic perennials for gardens that change through the seasons and pull in pollinators all summer long.

Yes, that is one of our favorite projects. We design the patio, seating, and fire pit as one space, oriented to the sun and wind so you actually use it from spring through fall.
Zone-5-hardy perennials and natives like coneflower, little bluestem, and serviceberry do beautifully in Little Chute. They handle our winters, need less water, and support pollinators.
We do — all of Little Chute and the surrounding Heart of the Valley communities. It is about twelve minutes from our Appleton shop, well within our core area.
