Bishops Bay, Century Ave, & Beyond
Middleton is one of our most active service areas. From new construction in Bishops Bay to established neighborhoods near Century Avenue, we've completed projects across the entire city. Here's a glimpse of recent work.
Bishops Bay Boulder Wall
A new two-course fieldstone boulder wall built to hold a foundation bed that was sliding onto the lawn, with regrading, seed and erosion blanket to finish.
River Stone Bed Renovation
Two beds rebuilt at a Middleton home, with the old plants pulled, the topsoil regraded, fabric pinned down, poly edging and river stone.
Segmental Retaining Wall
A structured retaining wall solving slope problems and creating a usable, tiered outdoor space. Built on a properly compacted base with full drainage to handle Wisconsin freeze-thaw.
Century Ave Retaining Wall
A retaining wall build in Middleton's established Century Avenue area. Older neighborhoods like this come with tight access and mature trees to plan around — we handle the constraints and deliver a clean cap line, integrated drainage, and a structured outdoor space ready for the next phase of landscaping.

The questions Middleton homeowners ask us most before starting a project — answered straight, without sales fluff. If yours isn't here, just call or text.
Do I need a permit for landscaping in Middleton?
Most residential landscaping and ground-level hardscaping in Middleton does not require a permit — pavers, walkways, garden beds, mulch installs, and stone edging all fall outside permit requirements. Permits become a factor when retaining walls exceed 4 feet in height or when the project involves electrical for landscape lighting. We handle the permit research and applications as part of every project, so you don't have to navigate Middleton's zoning code yourself.
What parts of Middleton do you serve?
All of Middleton. We've completed projects in Bishops Bay, North Lake, Pheasant Branch, Highland Manor, the Century Avenue area, Tribeca Village, The Springs, Westridge, Parmenter Crossing, North Pointe, Stonefield, and downtown Middleton. If your specific neighborhood isn't listed, we still serve it — these are just the ones we've completed the most work in.
Middleton has a lot of slope — do you handle hilly properties?
Yes, and it's one of our most common Middleton project types. Middleton's terrain has significantly more grade change than central Madison, which is why retaining walls and tiered hardscape are so common in the area. For hilly properties we engineer drainage from the start of the project — proper aggregate base, geogrid reinforcement on walls over 3 feet, French drains where needed, and grading that directs water away from your foundation. Hillside work is harder than flat-lot work, and skipping the right base prep is what causes patios to sink and walls to lean within a few years.
Do you work on new-construction landscaping projects?
Yes. New construction in Bishops Bay, North Lake, and other Middleton developments often comes with stripped soil, no established grade, and no existing landscape — which is actually the ideal time to do hardscape and landscape work right. We coordinate with builders' timelines, work around final grading and final landscaping windows, and can install patios, walls, garden beds, and full landscape design either at the same time as the home's completion or in a separate phase after move-in. For new builds we recommend starting the landscape conversation at least 60-90 days before move-in.
How long does a typical Middleton project take?
Smaller projects like stone edging or mulch beds typically run 1 to 3 days. Mid-size patios and walls take 4 to 7 working days. Larger outdoor living projects, tiered walls in steeper areas like Highland Manor, or full landscape installs in new-construction Bishops Bay lots can run 1 to 3 weeks. We don't rush base prep when conditions aren't right, since shortcuts there are what cause failure down the road.
What time of year is best to start a Middleton project?
Our installation season runs April through November. May through September are our busiest months. Spring and early fall typically offer the best weather windows and the fastest turnaround. Reaching out December through March often gets you priority spring scheduling.
What kind of warranty do you offer on Middleton projects?
All of our work comes with a written 1-year workmanship warranty from the day we finish. If our installation has a defect, we fix it at no charge, labor included. Plants we install that die within 1 year are replaced once, with no charge for the plant, as long as they were watered as our care instructions say. Planting labor is billed. The pavers, blocks, and turf themselves carry the manufacturer's warranty. See our warranty page for the full terms.
