Landscaping & Hardscaping in Madison, WI

Yes. Madison is part of our service area. From our nearby base in Blue Mounds, Kittleson Landscape designs, builds, and maintains landscapes, paver patios, retaining walls, outdoor lighting, and lakeshores for homes and businesses throughout Madison and Dane County.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Dane, Iowa, Green, Sauk, Columbia, and Rock counties and will help guide you through any permits your project needs.
