MOWA Construction

MOWA, the Museum of Wisconsin Art, is in downtown West Bend. Not only did the landscape make MOWA a popular outdoor destination, but it also spurred additional growth and development, revitalizing the downtown.

From Icky to Incredible

MOWA, the Museum of Wisconsin Art, is in downtown West Bend. We were selected to construct the exterior campus, the location of which had been declared contaminated and required EPA & DNR approval before upgrading. The completion of the landscape transformed this formerly blighted site into the city’s star attraction and the outdoor place to gather.

A Design to Attract Visitors and Businesses

The design had to be contemporary to match the modern style of the museum; construction had to complement and seamlessly tie in with the geometrically striking building. The campus and parking lots needed to be designed to host outdoor events, concerts, and art festivals that draw in and accommodate artists worldwide. Not only did the landscape make MOWA a popular outdoor destination, but it also spurred additional growth and development, revitalizing the downtown.

How Many Aspens and Hydrangeas?!

The client requested a minimalistic plant palette while incorporating mass plantings, specifically aspen groves and masses of five different varieties of hydrangeas. Color had to be at its stunning best when the prime outdoor events were scheduled, and the use of the campus was greatest.

Using GPS technology, we planted 778 quaking aspen trees, 10 to 16 feet tall, and 759 hydrangeas of various species. The number has since grown to approximately 1,200 under our landscape management.

Due to the irregularity and substantial size of the property, placing the curved walks, plant beds, and hundreds of trees in a conventional layout would have been extremely difficult. Therefore, the plans were loaded into a GPS unit where each tree or point would be individually marked and staked. Tree specifications included ten different sizes of both single-stem and multi-stem trees. With the trees being planted on five-to-six-foot centers, a colored staking system was implemented to identify each specified tree to its exact location.
