Construction

With over fifty years of experience, Wingren Landscape is capable of handling any size landscaping construction project for both residential and commercial properties. We welcome challenges and strive to develop outdoor environments that accommodate any unique circumstances. Our goal is to build upon your vision and needs for the long term.
 
At Wingren Landscape, we place significant importance on our selection of plants. We use local nurseries and handpick all of our materials. When selecting trees for a property, we choose those that provide special interest, shade, privacy, framing, neighbor-friendly living fences, focal points, and creativity. We truly view trees as living art.
 
Following the conceptual design phase, presentation, and receipt of necessary approvals, a set of construction drawings are produced and our work begins. These include layouts and features unique to each property: grading and drainage, hard surfaces, water features, irrigation, and lighting.
 
Throughout the process, our design team is in constant communication with our client to ensure the construction phase of each project is a seamless effort. We are respectful, thorough, and flexible in our approach, easily accommodating changes and challenges as they arise. The result: construction that is completed on time and within budget. We are so confident about the quality of our work that our construction client properties are guaranteed for the life of our contracts, provided we continue to perform maintenance services on those properties.

For both Commercial and Residential properties we offer a full range of Construction Services including:

• Complete Design-Build
• Drawing and Design
• Custom Build and Installation
• Hardscapes
• Water Features
• Outdoor Kitchens

Design-Build: A Complete Service from Design Plans to a Beautifully Built Landscape Environment

Different from other landscape companies, Wingren Landscape offers complete design through build services. We will consult and design landscape plans from the ground up. And take these plans from the drawing stage all the way through complete build-out with comprehensive landscape construction and outdoor installation of all types. We offer our complete design/build service for both residential and commercial.  

Wingren Landscape goes through painstaking detail starting with the landscape plans and continuing through the installation process ensuring our efforts create a setting which complements the context of the home’s architecture or business setting.  We create spaces appropriate to a customer’s needs and make sure these needs are met each step of the design/build process. We're known for the incorporation of strong design elements in stone, horticulture and hardscapes that reference a home or company, and balances its scale.   

Our design/build capabilities go beyond plant material. Whether, patios, walkways, or driveway, outdoor kitchen or entertainment areas, rock formations, water features and gazebos, Wingren Landscape partners with our clients and offers a vision for their outdoor space.  We have developed a highly collaborative approach with engineers, carpenters, electricians, plumbers and other skilled professionals in the design / build process that allow each project to be tailored to the unique needs and circumstances of each client and project.   

The design / build process at Wingren Landscape describes and solves the goals and objectives of the project while choosing the appropriateness of the materials and the executing the installation of the work with our crews ensuring the highest quality work and providing solutions within our client’s budget.  

Drawing and Design is an Art Form at Wingren Landscape

Our goal for landscape design is to be natural, functional, and beautiful. From the beginning, Wingren Landscape has viewed landscape design and construction as an art form.   

We consider every nuance of a client's home, office or property to achieve their ultimate vision of their future outdoor living environment. We take into consideration our clients' interior design, life style, and personal or professional needs during the design process. Constant innovation and attention to our clients' enjoyment and satisfaction are cornerstones of our business philosophy. Further, we seek to enhance the inherent value of a client's property, improving its curb appeal and resale, while contributing to the betterment of the community.

The three-dimensional feature of a landscape design plan is more than for aesthetic purposes. It is a powerful tool for visualization, walk through, and presentation. Rendering is provided as a tool to understand and present designs, maximizing communication with clients and other members of the design team.

Key elements of a landscape design model typically incorporate trees, shrubs, ground covers, and other planting, as well as hardscapes and waterscapes that are included in the one-dimensional view of your landscape concept. These same objects can also be some of the hardest objects to visualize well in an architectural context. Therefore, we can render them in a drawing, showing color, dimension, and scale, with any level of realism you desire, from a hand-drawn sketch to the most accurate natural lighting simulation.  

Early on, Jan Wingren pioneered the use of hardscapes in landscape design, using different types of natural stone to add elevation and dimension to a property, creating a look that is natural yet well-maintained. By incorporating the surrounding habitat, we seek to create a sanctuary for our clients from everyday life stresses by uniting them with nature.

Custom Build and Installation

Wingren Landscape offers full-service outdoor build capabilities to create your ideal outdoor living environment.  We will build from existing plans or plans developed by our design staff. Outdoor builds can include a range of environmental enhancements, from unique water features and hardscapes, to the installation of eco-friendly green roofs. Custom walkways, driveways, parking areas, decks, stairs, rails, benches, patios, docks, doors, bridges, gazebos, trellises, landmarks, flower boxes, mailboxes, and more are all within our capability. We can help you envision outdoor kitchens, fire pits, swimming pools, and spas to transform your living space into an outdoor haven.  

We work extensively with our clients during the concept stage to plan their ideal outdoor living space. We then custom build, and install all of the elements of that environment using a variety of materials, textures, colors, and finishes to add beauty, warmth, and functionality.

 

HARDSCAPES

Wingren Landscape pioneered the incorporation of hardscapes and elevation into outdoor designs from the very beginning, and came to be known and recognized for this trait.

Natural stone and brick are timeless materials that add lasting elegance and appeal to any design. They can be used alone or in conjunction with natural or man-made materials to form dramatic yet welcoming walkways, enhance grade elevations or hillside slopes, soften driveway surfaces, and create wonderful patio areas complete with waterfalls and ponds, kitchens, fire pits, seat walls, and planters.

We build for the long term, ensuring each element is installed with a proper base and structure. We will sculpt your corner of the world to suit your personal or company needs and help you realize your ideal outdoor environment. Then we'll maintain it over time for lasting beauty and enjoyment.

 

WATER FEATURES

Few of us are fortunate to have a natural waterfall or stream running through our property, yet no outdoor space compares to a setting with the compelling beauty, sound and movement of water.

Wingren Landscape can custom design a unique water feature for your home or business property. A waterfall, pond, or stream can be installed to compliment the surrounding natural architecture and further enhance personalized outdoor design. Water interplay with hardscapes such as boulders, rocks and stone creates added intrigue and harmony to your outdoor environment. We can enhance many water features with fish and flowering vegetation to lend an awe-inspiring tropical atmosphere. Finally consider light installation for your water feature to provide dramatic night time ambiance.

GREEN ROOFS

Called an eco-roof, garden roof, living roof, or vegetated roof, a green roof is a lightweight, layered roofing system that allows virtually maintenance-free plants to top a waterproofed substructure. Likely you've been hearing more about them lately, because the technology has become simpler, making installations more common.

Green roofs can provide a wide range of public and private benefits as well as financial, including a return on investment and energy heating and cooling costs.
