Fresh off the job in Madison! 🌿 We just finished a stone landscape edging project that gives the garden bed a crisp, clean border.

We used Tumbled Belgian Edgers, which have a soft, aged look that blends in beautifully with the yard. They are locked in place, so the line stays neat and the bed stays defined.

Thinking about a cleaner look for your beds? We'd love to hear about your yard. 🏡

Fresh new garden beds are done in Waunakee! 🌳 We added about 1,300 sq ft of planting beds, framed with 300 linear ft of tumbled Belgian stone edging that gives a clean, classic line along the lawn.

The planting mix has plenty of variety: Thuja Green Giant and American Pillar Arborvitae, White Kousa Dogwood, a Parkland Pillar Birch, an Autumn Brilliance Serviceberry, BloomStruck Endless Summer Hydrangea and Green Velvet Boxwood. Everything was set in enriched soil and finished with a layer of shredded mulch.

Thinking about refreshing your own yard? We would love to hear your ideas. 🌿

Slope washing out every storm? Here's the boulder retaining wall that fixed it — Bishops Bay, WI.
This foundation bed was losing material every heavy rain. Mulch on the lawn, bed edge disappearing, and a downspout dumping roof water straight onto the slope.

Here's what most people miss: a retaining wall alone wouldn't have fixed this. The water had to go somewhere.

So we regraded the failing slope, laid fabric, hand-set a two-course natural boulder wall, and tied the downspout through the wall to daylight past the bed. Fresh mulch on top, seed and straw on all the disturbed turf.

Boulder walls look simple in a photo. Every stone gets picked, turned, and set so the face lines up and the weight sits where it should. There's no cheating it with a level and a rubber mallet.

Backed by our 1-year workmanship warranty.

Got a slope that keeps washing out, or a bed sliding toward your lawn? Comment "WALL" below or send us a message — we'll come look and tell you straight whether you need a retaining wall or just a regrade. Sometimes it's the cheaper fix.
