Experienced Leadership Crafting Outdoor Environments Worth
Coming Home To
Decades of design-led Outdoor Living and Lakeside Living expertise.
McGuire Landscape Company builds outdoor & lakefront living spaces and boathouses for homeowners across southeastern Wisconsin. Our work centers on sites with complex terrain, regulated shorelines, and demanding conditions where getting the details right from the start determines how the finished space holds up for years to come.
We are selective about the work we take on. Rather than pursuing volume, we focus on projects that require coordination between design, permitting, drainage planning, and structural preparation. The result is a space that holds up through Wisconsin winters, functions the way it was designed to, and becomes a genuine part of how you use your property.
