Urban Streetscapes

Transforming Cityscapes into Inviting, Sustainable Spaces

From bustling business districts to mixed-use shopping centers, David J. Frank Landscape Contracting designs, builds, and maintains vibrant urban streetscapes in Milwaukee, Madison, and other communities.

What Are Urban Streetscapes?

Urban streetscapes refer to the visible elements along streets in city settings—including trees, planters, pavers, seating, lighting, signage, and bike paths—that provide a welcoming experience and contribute to the area’s overall identity and environmental performance.

Whether you manage a business improvement district, municipal space, or retail corridor, our work helps areas thrive through functional beauty.

Services We Provide:

Design & Planning
Our award-winning landscape architects create custom streetscapes that blend aesthetics, accessibility, safety, and sustainability.
Hardscape Installation
From decorative concrete and pavers to curbing, lighting, and retaining walls, our crews build durable infrastructure that enhances usability and curb appeal.
Greenscape Enhancements
Trees, shrubs, annual color, bioswales, and rain gardens help improve stormwater management, reduce heat island effects, and provide visual interest year-round.
Seasonal Displays & Planter Rotations
We offer stunning seasonal color programs, including insertable planter solutions tailored for urban settings with limited space.
Maintenance Services
We don’t just install exceptional streetscapes—we maintain them. Our experienced crews provide year-round landscape maintenance, including planter care, seasonal color changes, litter pickup, pruning, and hardscape upkeep. We help your environment stay clean, vibrant, and inviting day after day.
