Garden-Scapes is seeking government grants to enhance its landscape business, which focuses on eco-friendly garden design, installation, and maintenance. The funding will be used to hire experienced staff and invest in equipment, helping the owner, a determined woman and mother of three, to better utilize her strengths while overcoming time constraints.
The business aims to increase sales and revenue over the next five years while implementing natural alternatives for landscape protection. Garden-Scapes stands out in Wisconsin's competitive landscape market by specializing in garden maintenance and creation, rather than general lawn care services, and by being minority-owned, which adds a unique perspective and commitment to supporting local vendors.

Self Identified Competition
There are various landscape companies throughout Wisconsin that offer a wide range of services. However, rather than focusing on standard lawn care, I specialize in garden maintenance, creation, and restoration.

First and foremost, Garden-Scapes is local and woman owned, and we pride ourselves in the fact that we support other small business throughout Wisconsin. We specialize in garden creation, installation and maintenance using eco-friendly techniques. Custom personalized designs are created per property enable us to allow our clients to take part in the process every step of the way.
