Drainage Swales Between Homes
Subdivision swales carry stormwater after every heavy rain. Plants placed in or beside them need to handle a soaking, then dry out again.

Plant installation in Hobart usually means more yard than the average Brown County lot. Many homes sit on generous parcels carved from former farmland, with long front setbacks, drainage swales between houses, and Duck Creek winding through on its way to Howard. JM Landscaping LLC has planted Northeast Wisconsin properties since 1989, and Hobart yards reward planting at a scale that matches the land.
A lot of Hobart's homes are fairly new, and so are their landscapes. Our plant installation services turn a bare lot or a thin builder package into a finished yard, using hardy species from our plant installation lineup. If a plant installation near me search brought you here from the village, we're a short drive away.
Subdivision swales carry stormwater after every heavy rain. Plants placed in or beside them need to handle a soaking, then dry out again.
Homes backing onto retention ponds have a wet margin that native sedges and flood-tolerant shrubs can soften.
Grading on newer lots often leaves only a few inches of topsoil over dense clay. We amend deeper than the builder did.
Deep setbacks leave a lot of lawn between the house and the road. Island beds and tree groupings give the view some structure.
Properties on rural roads have ditches and culverts at the frontage, so plantings stay back from the right-of-way and out of the plow's path.
Residential plant installation that fills out a young yard: foundation beds sized for the house, shade trees for the south side, and screening where neighbors sit close.
Commercial plant installation for businesses and mixed-use properties in Hobart's commercial areas, using low-care shrubs and grasses that look finished year-round.
Garden installation that breaks a big backyard into rooms, with beds around a patio and fire pit and open lawn left for play.
Flower bed installation that frames the front door and walk, finished with landscape lighting so the entry reads well after dark.
