From that first turn of soil to its now vast selection of services, find out more about JK Landscape as it continues to bloom.

Building a Foundation

Back in 2006, owner Jerry Konz was working for a residential excavator full time and doing his own thing on weekends. “Housing was getting slow, so I started working on small landscape projects,” he said. When the economy slowed even further, Konz said he knew it was time to focus on landscaping full time.

Understandably, starting a new business in the midst of an already shaky economy was a bit of a struggle. “The first four years were tough,” Konz said, adding that he took every job he could just to stay busy and make ends meet. “The jobs ranged from a couple-hours-long project to a day or two, just working by myself.”

Working Together

Since then, the company has grown. So have the projects. Today, Konz said the jobs can last a few days or even a few months. He and wife Holly have put together a solid, capable, multi-faceted team that works well together. And some have been with the company for almost a decade.

“We have multiple install crews and another crew that specifically builds decks, handrails, gazebos, boathouses, pergolas, and other decorative items for our clients’ properties,” Holly Konz added.

JK Landscape also has a full-time designer, who is responsible for the creative landscape designs unique to each client’s location, space, preferences, and personality. “A lot of the ideas,” Jerry Konz said, “kind of develop themselves when looking at a property.”

All the Projects

The landscape construction projects in JK’s repertoire include hardscapes and retaining walls, outdoor living and paver patios, landscaping and decorative plants, and everything in between and beyond. “We do a lot of residential projects but also quite a few shoreline restoration and commercial projects,” Jerry Konz added.

And sometimes the team has tough-access projects that require the heavy-duty machinery. “My personal favorite projects are the ones where entry through the property is not available. We utilize our barge to transport equipment and materials across a lake to the jobsite,” Jerry Konz explained.

Depending on the design, some jobs take longer than others. Whether a project takes days, weeks, or even months, the objective is to provide the best landscape construction solutions while exceeding client expectations.

“Our clients are very happy with the end result of their projects,” Holly Konz said. “Some are ecstatic throughout the duration as well.”
