Some landscapes don't just get a little messy - they get completely out of hand. That's exactly what we were dealing with here in Menomonie. Overgrown shrubs taking over building foundations, old river rock that had shifted and spread into walkways, weeds pushing through everywhere, and beds that hadn't been touched in years. The kind of job where you almost don't know where to start.
We started by clearing everything out. That meant pulling overgrown shrubs and trees, digging out old boulders, and hauling away more than 25 yards of river rock that had run its course. That's a serious amount of material to move, and it's the kind of work that sets the foundation for everything that comes after. You can't put a clean landscape on top of a messy one.
Once the slate was clean, we laid fresh weed fabric before bringing in new rock. That fabric step matters more than people realize. It's what keeps the beds low-maintenance going forward - no more weeds pushing up through the rock every few weeks. We also cut clean edging to define the beds and keep everything looking intentional and sharp. A few areas also got seeded down for new grass where the ground had been disturbed.
The difference between the before and after on a job like this is hard to overstate. What used to look like an afterthought now looks like it was actually planned. Clean rock, defined edges, open space around the building - it all adds up. And the best part is that whoever is maintaining this property now has a much easier job going forward.
Landscape restoration like this is one of those services that pays for itself in reduced maintenance time alone. If you've got beds that have gotten away from you - rock that's shifted, shrubs that are overgrown, or fabric that's completely failed - we know exactly how to get it back under control.
