About Us
Who We Are
We are owners Kate and Nick, a husband and wife duo living in Milwaukee.
Nick founded Ginkgo Stonescapes in 2022 because he saw that many companies in the industry were delivery the same product leading to landscape conformity instead of diversity. He knew each client was different and deserved a landscape design that was as unique as they were. That’s why he likes to push the creative boundary; building one of a kind landscapes & features mixing natural and durable materials.
Nick has been working in landscaping since 2015. Prior to landscaping he was a mason, welder, professional driver, and even ran a taco truck. His prior experiences & skills allow him to craft custom landscapes and features that are one of a kind. He incorporates metal into his designs whenever possible and loves working with natural stone. He still gets to drive & operate equipment everyday. As for the tacos…he cooks for the team from time to time!
Entrepreneurship and plants are in Kate’s blood. Her family started a vegetable business that turned into a flower nursery. She never thought she would be working in landscaping and is loving it! Kate has worked in Corporate America in Sales & Purchasing. She runs the Ginkgo Office and is who you will talk to when you reach out… So Reach Out!
We would love to hear from you.
How We Work
-
We treat your home like our own and minimize the disruption to your busy life.
We believe in maximizing your budget and space and will never suggest something that’s not needed or that we wouldn’t do ourselves at our house.
When we are done we take the time to repair any lawn damage caused by our equipment so we make sure we are leaving your yard looking better than when we started.
-
Integrity, creativity, communication & quality shape the way we work. These aren't just words—they’re the foundation of everything we build.
-

-
We keep you updated on the progress and what to expect every step of the way from start to finish so there are no surprises.
-
Once we start your project we don’t stop until it’s finished to limit the disruption to you. Other contractors bounce their crews between active projects which makes your project last so much longer than necessary and keeps you in the messy construction state for far too long. We have dedicated crews and own our own equipment so we can work efficiently.
-
We like to mix quality materials with our skilled team so we create landscapes and features that last and you don’t have to replace them down the road and pay for them twice.
We stand behind our work which is why we offer a warranty.
