We pride ourselves on providing our customers with custom landscape and hardscape designs that fit their lifestyle. Our 4-Acre landscape showroom has everything necessary to transform your yard into the outdoor living area you've always want

"I can't say enough fantastic things about my experience with Jimmy N and Touch of Green, He worked within our budget, created 3D images of our ideas, and most impressively he started and finished on time and was in constant contact with me throughout. I'm typically underwhelmed when it comes to these types of services, but Touch of Green really blew me away. The other thing I really appreciated was Jimmy wasn't afraid to give me his ideas without being pushy. He listened to what I wanted, but partnered with me to come up with the best solutions within my budget. I couldn't recommend them enough."

In 1897, W.G. McKay planted a seed that became McKay Nursery Company. The foundation was a strong belief in honest business practices, fair prices & the highest possible quality in our products. We are a horticultural grower & complete source for landscaping services & expertise. We are an employee-owned company nestled among the farmlands of southern Wisconsin, more than a century old, providing quality northern-grown plants to homes, businesses, & finer retailers throughout the Midwest, as well as a leading source of site & landscape design, construction, & maintenance for the places you live, work, & play.

"Complaint filed 5/7/25 with BBB of Wisconsin. This is a HORRIBLE company who just blow off customer complaints who have legitimate concerns on plants that are ordered online and do not survive the year. They cover up reviews left on their site and on Facebook! My reviews were quickly deleted and none were posted to their online site! This company has had problems dating back to 1972 in a court case that’s public knowledge!"

Greenhouses and Nurseries questions, answered by experts

A solarium is built almost entirely out of glass, whereas a sunroom is built using other materials for the walls and ceiling, with some windows added to the walls and possibly a skylight in the ceiling. However, the sunroom uses significantly less glass compared to the solarium. The solarium may not hold heat as well as a sunroom when built in colder climates. A sunroom can use different materials for insulation, and heating and cooling systems can more easily supplement the energy gained from sunlight.

Don’t forget to factor in the climate where you live during the planning stage. If your area is prone to bitter cold and heavy snow, you might want to invest in stronger greenhouse materials like a concrete slab, steel frame, and glass walls or plan to take your greenhouse down for the winter.

In most cases, you can attach a greenhouse to any type of house. However, certain factors need to be considered, such as the structural integrity of the house, available space, and local building regulations. You should consult with a professional contractor or architect to assess the feasibility and ensure proper construction methods.

When designing an attached greenhouse, several factors should be considered. These include the orientation and positioning of the greenhouse to maximize sunlight exposure, the structural integrity of the connection to the house, sufficient insulation to regulate temperature, proper ventilation for airflow, and adequate space for plants and pathways. If you’re restricted because of your budget, go with a simpler design to maximize the use of your money.

The only real drawback to green building is that it’s more expensive up front, with per-square-foot prices sitting 33% higher than what you’d pay to build a traditional home. The higher cost is due to more expensive building materials and more labor to ensure every aspect of the home is as efficient as possible. However, green buildings often save money in the long run, so this is just a temporary downside.
