A small city on the Fox River west of Oshkosh, Omro pairs riverfront charm with tidy neighborhoods.
Omro sits on the Fox River between Oshkosh and Berlin, a small city with a walkable downtown, riverfront parks, and quiet residential streets. Homes here range from established in-town lots to riverfront and newer properties on the edges.
We design Omro landscapes to suit the setting — riverfront care where the water is close, and clean, family-friendly yards in town.
On the Fox River, we manage drainage and stabilize banks so a yard holds up near the water. In town, we build durable, family-friendly landscapes — a patio, clean beds, and Zone-5-hardy plantings that look good with reasonable upkeep.
A custom, buildable plan for your whole yard — drainage, plantings, and hardscape that fit your property and our climate.
