Planter Bed Design & Installation
A well-built planter bed starts with a plan that accounts for your soil, sun exposure, and Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycles, which can shift edging and kill the wrong plants within a season. Martinez Landscaping designs and installs custom planter beds sized and shaped to fit your yard, not a catalog template. We select plants suited to Southern Wisconsin’s growing conditions and install them so they establish correctly from the start.
- Custom bed shape and sizing planned around your existing yard layout, trees, and structures
- Plant selection matched to your specific light conditions, soil type, and how much maintenance you want long-term
- Proper bed preparation including soil amendment and grading so plants have a healthy base to root into
- Clean edge definition using materials suited to Wisconsin winters so the border holds its shape through frost heave
- Mulch installation at the correct depth to retain moisture and reduce weed pressure through the season
- Full installation by Martinez crew members, no subcontractors, so the same people who planned the bed build it
How It Works
Our Process for Planter Bed Design & Installation
On-site estimate
We walk your property with you, look at sun exposure, drainage, and what you already have, then sketch out a bed layout and give you a written quote before any work is scheduled.
Plant and material selection
We put together a plant list based on your light, soil, and how hands-on you want to be with upkeep. You approve the list and we source the plants locally when possible.
Bed preparation and installation
We define the bed edges, prep the soil, install your plants at the right spacing and depth, and finish with mulch. Everything is cleaned up before we leave.
Walkthrough and care notes
We walk through the finished bed with you, point out any plants that need extra attention in year one, and answer questions about watering and seasonal care.

Common Questions
FAQ: Planter Bed Design & Installation
Native perennials like coneflower, black-eyed Susan, and ornamental grasses are reliable choices because they are adapted to Wisconsin winters and need minimal upkeep once established. We can also incorporate shrubs that give you structure year-round without constant pruning.
We use edging materials and installation methods that account for frost heave, which is a real issue here with the ground freezing and thawing repeatedly from November through March. The right depth and material selection make a significant difference in how the border holds up after the first season.
Yes, Wisetack financing is available for planter bed projects, including 0% APR options depending on the plan you qualify for. You can ask about financing when we give you the written estimate.
