Outdoor Living Services for Oconomowoc Homeowners
Landscape Design & Build
Custom outdoor living design built around lake access, sightlines, and seasonal use. Our lakefront design plan maps out patios, kitchens, fire features, and plantings as one cohesive plan tailored to waterfront properties, then backs it with a detailed 3D rendering before construction starts.
Outdoor Kitchens & Fire Features
A lakeside outdoor kitchen is built for entertaining by the water, and custom fire pits and outdoor fireplaces extend usable time outdoors well beyond the warmest summer months, built for cool lake evenings.
Outdoor Activities
Lakeside recreation features, like a bocce court, a dock-adjacent play area, or space for lawn games, give a waterfront property just as much reason to be used on land as it is on the water.
Patios, Walkways & Retaining Walls
Paver patios and walkways designed for properties that see heavy seasonal foot traffic, paired with shoreline retaining walls that manage grade near the water. Our crews grade and base every installation to manufacturer specifications, so surfaces stay level and durable through repeated lake-season use.
Water Features & Shade Structures
A custom pond and fountain design feels like a natural extension of Oconomowoc's lake setting, while lakeside pergolas and shade structures extend how late into the evening a waterfront property gets used.
Irrigation Services
Lakefront properties still need a reliable irrigation plan for the parts of the yard the lake doesn't reach. Villani Landshapers designs lakefront irrigation systems directly, with the same service available through VLS Irrigation for commercial and resort properties.
Plantings
Waterfront-friendly plantings selected for the site's sun exposure, soil, and proximity to the water establish well and hold up season after season.
Outdoor Lighting & Sound Systems
Waterfront lighting design keeps entertaining going after sunset, highlighting plantings, hardscape, and water views, while a waterfront sound system keeps the space functional after dark.
Commercial Landscaping
Oconomowoc's commercial and resort-area properties benefit from the same design standards we bring to lakefront homes. Villani Landshapers provides resort-area commercial landscaping, seasonal commercial maintenance, turf fertilization programs, and winter grounds care throughout the Lake Country area.
Happy Customers
“We had a BEAUTIFUL patio installed by Villani Landshapers in August of 2024. They also replaced and repaired our retaining wall for our driveway. We live on a very steep hill and the job was not easy. Paul was very responsive and helpful throughout the project. His staff was very professional and hardworking. The job was completed on time and on budget. We absolutely love our new patio and the additional living space it's created. We are also happy to have a safe, stable driveway. We highly recommend Villani Landshapers.”

Our Outdoor Living Process
01. Connect & Consult
We start by walking your Oconomowoc property with you, talking through how you use the space today and what you're picturing for lake-season living. Sightlines, water access, and seasonal use all factor into this first conversation, along with your budget and timeline.
02. Design & Plan
From there, our in-house design team develops a custom plan built around your property's relationship to the water, from patio placement to fire feature location. A detailed 3D rendering shows you exactly how the finished space will look and function before construction begins.
03. build with care
Once the plan is approved, our crews execute it with the same attention to detail reflected in the design, accounting for the grading and drainage considerations common to lakefront properties. The job site stays clean and organized throughout, and we keep you informed at every stage.
04. Walkthrough & Warranty
When construction wraps, we walk the finished space with you to confirm every detail matches the approved plan. Every project is backed by our workmanship warranty, so your outdoor space is ready for lake season after lake season.
