Landcrafters - Michael A. Manke, ASLA

We have worked with Mike Manke and Landcrafters for multiple hardscaping projects over the past decade, and we can't argue with the fabulous results. Mike and his team are creative and discerning and they work with a space to create results that look natural while serving to enhance the existing architecture. They are efficient and professional and we highly recommend Landcrafters for any hardscape project.

I have had the pleasure to work with Mike Manke on many of my projects over the last 15+ years at Lakeside Development Company. Projects of all sizes, scope and style. I am always confident to recommend and invite Mike onto our design team to help bring our Architecture to life. His creative design, attention to detail and careful management of the landscape install itself always exceed our expectations, and more importantly our clients and homeowners. Todd A. Rabidoux, AIA Lakeside Development Company

It has been our privilege to work with Mike Manke for over 25 years, and for two homes with widely different topographies. Mike has a keen eye for space, as seen in his most recent work in creating an outdoor "family room" with a fireplace and seating area. Mike appreciates the seasons, and the range of plantings he chose are not only "deer-resistant" (we live in area where there are literally herds of deer), but thoughtfully grouped to bring interest in every season, including winter. Mike enjoys a well-deserved complimentary relationship with Milwaukee's lighting professionals, too; Mike's creative use of uplighting, path lights and downlighting is especially enjoyable during the winter months. We have recommended Mike without hesitation to our friends, and we look forward to working with Mike again and again.

As a landscape architect, Mike Manke is the best of the best. We recently completed an extensive house addition and remodel which included an outdoor living space. This space has a pizza oven and kitchen area as well as dining and lounging areas underneath an extensive pergola. Mike designed and oversaw the construction of all of the outdoor space including all of the landscaping. His ideas are excellent and he has tremendous creativity. We couldn't be more pleased with either the process or the result. We would recommend him and Land Crafters in the strongest possible terms.
