Crafting beautiful outdoor environments is at the core of what we do at Eco Harmony Landscape & Design. One of our recent projects in Cedarburg brought a residential property to life through custom landscape design services that seamlessly blend function, aesthetics, and sustainability. This design highlights how a well-planned outdoor space can enhance the beauty and usability of a home, creating areas for relaxation, entertaining, and enjoying nature.
Thoughtful Layout and Design Elements
The Cedarburg property reflects a design that weaves pathways, seating areas, and vibrant planting beds into a cohesive layout. A winding driveway leads to the home, while the surrounding landscape introduces layered plantings and soft curves that guide the eye and invite exploration. One of the key features is the use of curvilinear garden beds along the front and sides of the property, adding a sense of movement and natural flow. These beds have perennials, shrubs, and evergreens for year-round interest and easy maintenance.
The backyard space introduces a structured yet inviting area featuring a combination of open lawn, shaded seating zones, and ornamental plant groupings. Curved walkways constructed from high-quality pavers connect the different outdoor areas. Their selection of premium pavers and hardscaping elements allowed us to create durable, visually appealing pathways and patios harmonizing with the natural surroundings.
Plant Selection and Garden Design
Strategic planting is a hallmark of our landscape design services, and the Cedarburg project is no exception. The design incorporates a mix of native and ornamental plants to thrive in the local climate, reducing the need for excessive watering and upkeep. Flowering perennials, groundcover plants, and ornamental grasses add texture and layers throughout the landscape. Larger trees and evergreens anchor the design, providing shade and privacy for key areas of the yard.
To add seasonal interest, the garden beds were designed to feature blooms in different seasons. Spring bulbs emerge early, with vibrant summer flowers and rich fall foliage. Even in winter, the structure of evergreens and textured hardscapes keeps the property looking inviting. Wayside Nursery and Lemke Stone supplied many of the natural stones and plants for this project, helping us achieve a natural and refined design.
Functional and Aesthetic Hardscaping
Hardscaping is essential in grounding the design and defining outdoor living areas. This Cedarburg design includes a cozy patio adjacent to the home, perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation. A built-in fire pit area, crafted using materials from Champion Brick, adds a focal point for evening gatherings. Combining stone and brick elements introduces warmth and texture, complementing the lush plantings.
We incorporated retaining walls and stone borders around the garden beds to define the space further. These features help manage slopes on the property while adding dimension and structure. Our partnership with Halquist Stone and Lemke Stone allowed us to integrate natural stone that complements the home’s existing architecture.
Sustainable Design for Lasting Beauty
As a leading landscaping company serving the Greater Milwaukee area, we prioritize sustainability in our designs. This project includes permeable pavers that promote drainage, reduce runoff, and protect the property from erosion. Using native plants reduces water consumption and supports local wildlife, contributing to a thriving ecosystem.
Low-maintenance features are woven throughout the design, minimizing the need for extensive upkeep while preserving the landscape’s beauty. This approach aligns with our goal of creating landscapes that are as functional as they are stunning.Crafting Unique Outdoor Experiences
