When we first started looking into building an outdoor patio and pool area, we honestly weren’t sure our property would even allow the backyard we were dreaming of. … our project manager, Adam Skowronek, somehow designed something even better than we could have imagined. … Now that everything is complete, we honestly still catch ourselves looking out the window and thinking, “I can’t believe this is our backyard.”

We worked with Adam from start to finish, beginning in the fall to design a large patio, fire pit area, and improved landscaping in our backyard. … His 3D design brought the project to life and made us confident in our decisions. When the work started this summer, the team stayed on schedule, and worked efficiently while delivering a beautiful result.
We desperately needed an entire demolition and makeover of our stairs and ancient wood Retaining walls at our Western Wisc lake home. We got 3 bids and primarily picked Schifsky because of Brandon. … The workers were amazing and put the plan together perfectly. We have had several of our neighbors on the lake stop by to say how great it looks!
