Custom Outdoor Living Solutions for Southern Wisconsin Homeowners

The best stretch of a Wisconsin year happens outside, and it doesn’t last long. That’s exactly why an outdoor living space here has to earn its keep, giving you somewhere genuinely good to be from the first warm evening to the last. 

Erdmann Outdoor Living designs and builds those outdoor living spaces for homeowners around Lake Geneva, Kenosha, and Twin Lakes. Family-owned since 1982, we carry four decades of Chicago-region design-build experience north into Wisconsin's lake country, pairing motorized StruXure pergolas with low-maintenance TimberTech decks and backing every project with a rendering you approve before construction starts. 

The Wisconsin Communities We Serve

Our Wisconsin work centers on the lake communities just across the state line, where summers are built around being outside, and a well-made backyard gets used from the first warm day to the last. Each of these towns has its own character, and we design for what fits it. 

Lake Geneva

Lake Geneva is a resort town where lakefront homes and summer properties set a high bar for outdoor space. We design pergolas and decks that meet that standard and give families room to host all season. 

Kenosha

Sitting on the shore of Lake Michigan, Kenosha's established neighborhoods have the kind of mature yards that reward a thoughtful redesign. We build shaded structures and decks that make ordinary evenings outside worth lingering over.

Twin Lakes

Twin Lakes is a community built around time spent on the water. We help homeowners here get more from their yards with adjustable-shade pergolas and decking that holds up without the upkeep.

What We Build

Our work in Wisconsin comes down to a focused set of things we do exceptionally well, rather than a long menu of everything under the sun. Shade you can adjust, decking that lasts, and a plan that ties it all together are the core of nearly every project. 

Motorized StruXure Pergolas

A StruXure pergola has a roof made of aluminum louvers that you can open, close, or tilt from a remote or an app, so you get shade when the sun is high and an open sky when you want it. As an exclusive StruXure dealer and a StruXure Design Award winner, Erdmann configures the full system and its options, including motorized screens for privacy and bug control, integrated in-lite lighting, and heating that stretches your evenings later into the shoulder season. 

TimberTech PVC Decks

We install TimberTech exclusively, and as a Platinum Pro installer, we build with the complete product line. Capped PVC skips the sanding and staining that real wood demands every year, and it stands up to hard Wisconsin winters without rotting, fading, or splintering. Our NADRA National Deck Competition recognition speaks to how these decks are built. Railing systems and post-cap lighting finish the look.

How a Project Comes Together

One of the most common reasons homeowners stall on a backyard project is that they don’t know where to start. We keep the path simple and stay with you at every stage, so the process feels like forward motion instead of guesswork:

  1. Design and Rendering: We photograph your space, talk through how you want to use it, and deliver a custom rendering so the design feels real before anyone breaks ground.

  2. Permitting: We handle the paperwork and approvals on your behalf.

  3. Installation: Our team builds it, with a single point of contact managing the timeline from start to finish.

  4. Walkthrough: We close out the project with you and make sure the space is exactly what our rendering promised.

FAQs About Outdoor Living Spaces in Wisconsin

Our project gallery showcases our design expertise and installation quality across our deck and pergola services. It also highlights the ability of StruXure and TimberTech products to blend with a variety of home styles and use cases.

Yes. A StruXure pergola has a motorized aluminum roof, so closing the louvers gives you solid cover from rain and snow in any season. Add motorized screens and integrated heating, and the space stays comfortable well into fall and early spring. Deep winter is still deep winter here, but the pergola holds up through it and gives you far more usable outdoor time than an open deck or a fixed cover.

Yes. Financing options are available for qualified homeowners. We also feature occasional special offers that may apply to your project. Be sure to ask for more information during your free consultation if you’re interested in either.

Ready When You Are

Wisconsin's outdoor season is short enough that every good weekend counts. If the backyard at your place in Lake Geneva, Kenosha, or Twin Lakes isn’t giving you somewhere to spend them, that’s worth fixing before another season slips by.
