Your backyard has plenty of potential, but what turns it into a place you actually want to spend your evenings? For many homeowners, the answer is one of our custom decks or pavilions. At Glacier Landscape, Inc., we’ve spent 34 years designing and building outdoor spaces across Madison, WI, and the surrounding areas.
Our management team shares nearly 300 years of combined experience, and we’ve completed thousands of residential and commercial projects. From new outdoor structures to tree care services, we can look after your whole property.
Built Around Your Backyard
No matter what kind of outdoor space you have in mind, our team can help you design it and build it to suit your property and budget.
Pavilion vs. Pergola vs. Gazebo
A pavilion has a solid roof and open sides, so it keeps you dry when a summer storm rolls through. A pergola has an open beam roof for filtered shade, while a gazebo is usually round with a raised floor, perfect for smaller gatherings. Most of our clients choose pavilions for the extra weather protection.
Custom Decks Built to Last
Our decks are designed around your home and the way you like to entertain, from quiet mornings to summer cookouts. We build them using sturdy materials to handle Wisconsin snow and stay solid for many years.
Why Hire a Professional
A pavilion or deck needs proper footings and the right permits. Our experienced crews handle the planning and paperwork so you can focus on the fun part.
Care for the Whole Yard
Once your project is finished, our maintenance programs can keep the lawn and plantings around it looking sharp all season. That way, the rest of your yard looks as good as your new deck or pavilion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most decks and many pavilions need a building permit, and the rules depend on size and how close the structure sits to your property line. If you live in an HOA neighborhood, you may need their approval too. We’ll help you sort out what’s required before any digging starts.
With the right materials and regular care, a well-built deck or pavilion can last for decades. Sealing or staining wood every couple of years protects it from moisture and sun. Clearing heavy snow off in winter helps too.
Late fall and winter are great times to get started. Design work and permits take time, so planning early helps you get on the schedule before spring gets busy. That way, your new space is ready when the weather warms up.
