A small city on the Waupaca River, Weyauwega is hometown Wisconsin with water and woods nearby.
Weyauwega sits on the Waupaca River west of Appleton, a small city with a walkable downtown, a millpond, and country all around. Homes range from established in-town lots to rural and near-water properties.
We design Weyauwega landscapes to suit the setting — clean, durable yards in town, waterfront care near the river, and practical low-maintenance work on the country lots.
Near the Waupaca River and the millpond, we manage drainage and stabilize banks so a yard holds up near the water. In town and on the rural lots, we build durable, Zone-5-hardy landscapes 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.
