Case Studies

The Lothers

When Brent Lother and his wife, Julie, bought 10 acres of woods stretching along the banks of the St. Croix River just outside Hudson, Wisconsin, they wanted the land for their dream home.

For six years, they studied architectural plans and designs to make sure everything was perfect. And when it came to picking a landscape professional to entrust with designing the estate around their home, they knew exactly who to call for that same dedication to excellence – Pondering Gardens.
