Prairie Landscapes for Urban & Suburban Spaces
We call this approach “Nearly Wild” — native, beneficial plantings designed with intention, structure, and artistry to create landscapes that feel natural, distinctive, and deeply connected to place.
Why Choose a Prairie Landscape?
Water & Soil: Deep-rooted prairie plants improve infiltration and reduce runoff, helping manage stormwater naturally while improving soil health.
Movement & Life: Grasses and flowering perennials move with the wind and change through the seasons—bringing a sense of life and motion that static landscapes can’t replicate.
Ecological Fit: These plants evolved here. That means greater resilience, fewer inputs, and meaningful habitat for pollinators and wildlife
Year-Round Beauty: From the first Pasque flowers of spring to the golden hues of Big Bluestem in winter.
Our Mission & Specialized Expertise
Suburban-Friendly Design: We use "cues to care"—like neat stone edging or defined paths—so your prairie looks intentional and artistic, not overgrown.
The Right Plant, The Right Place: Our deep knowledge of Native Plants ensures your garden thrives in Wisconsin’s specific soil and light conditions. Click here for an example project in Oregon, WI.
Eco-Artistry: We repurpose materials and match the architectural style of your home to create a seamless transition between nature and structure. Click here for an example project in Waunakee, WI.
A Personal Standard of Excellence: We maintain a small, focused portfolio so our owner can remain hands-on, ensuring every stone, seed, and plant is placed to meet our rigorous standards for "Landscapes That Belong."
Landscapes of Hope: We believe landscapes can do more than look good. They can restore habitat, support life, and quietly push things in the right direction. Planting a prairie is a small act of hope — a vote for the kind of world we want to live in.
Full-Service Landscape Solutions: We do more than just prairie installs. If your vision includes hardscapes, retaining walls, or traditional garden design, we’re happy to integrate those elements into a cohesive plan for your property.

“Eric was able to design a great plan that addresses our concerns and preferences.... We especially like Eric’s approach because he uses materials and styles that match the age of our home, and he tries to re-purpose what we already have as much as possible to cut down on waste and cost... ”
