How much does landscaping cost?
Every project is different, so cost depends on the size of the space, the materials you choose, and your site conditions. As a rough guide, planting and softscape work often runs a few dollars per square foot, while hardscaping such as patios and retaining walls costs more. The most accurate way to budget is a free, no-obligation consultation, where we walk your property and provide a detailed written estimate.
When is the best time of year to start a landscaping or hardscape project in Wisconsin?
Spring through fall is prime installation season in our climate, and many hardscaping projects can continue later into the fall. Because quality crews book up quickly, we recommend planning and designing over the winter or early spring so your project can break ground as soon as the weather allows.
Do you offer free estimates and consultations?
Yes. We provide a free, no-pressure consultation. We discuss your goals, look at your property, and follow up with a clear written estimate and design direction.
What is the difference between landscaping and hardscaping?
Landscaping, or softscape, covers the living elements, lawns, garden beds, plantings, mulch, and lighting. Hardscaping covers the built elements, paver patios, retaining walls, walkways, steps, and stone features. We do both, and most projects combine the two for a finished, cohesive outdoor space.
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall, patio, or lakeshore project?
Sometimes. In Wisconsin, taller retaining walls, generally those over about four feet, or walls holding back a slope or driveway, often require a permit and engineering, and any work near a lake or shoreline can fall under Wisconsin DNR and county shoreland-zoning rules. We are familiar with local requirements across the counties we serve and will help guide you through any permits your project needs.
Are you licensed, insured, and accredited?
Yes. Kittleson Landscape is fully insured and A+ accredited by the Better Business Bureau, top-rated by homeowners on Angi, and an award-winning, ICPI-certified Unilock installer, with more than 7,500 completed projects since 1987.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance and snow removal?
Yes. Beyond design and installation, we provide seasonal services including spring and fall cleanups and winter snow removal to keep your property looking its best year-round.
