Manitowoc, Wisconsin

Outdoor Living Contractor in Manitowoc, WI

Manitowoc is a Lake Michigan port city, with lakeside properties, established city blocks, and newer builds toward the west side. We design louvered pergolas, cabanas, composite decks, and fiberglass pools that fit those yards and stand up to Wisconsin seasons.

What We Build

Outdoor Living Built For Manitowoc Backyards.

Louvered Pergolas

A StruXure Pergola X puts the roof under your control — louvers open for sun, close for rain, and can be angled to cut afternoon glare. In Manitowoc, we orient the structure around Lake Michigan wind and moisture so the patio stays usable from spring through fall.

Cabanas

Cabana X turns open yard into a defined outdoor room — covered dining, a poolside changing space, or a shaded lounge. Panels and screens add privacy, which matters on lakeside properties, established city blocks, and newer builds toward the west side.

Composite Decking

Wisconsin freeze-thaw cycles are hard on wood. TimberTech capped composite resists moisture, fading, and rot without annual staining, and we frame stairs and levels to work with Lake Michigan wind and moisture, which drive fastener, finish, and anchoring decisions.

Fiberglass Pools & Spas

Through our ModernX Pools division, we install one-piece fiberglass shells engineered to flex with shifting soils and cold ground temperatures. Access, setbacks, and equipment placement in Manitowoc get reviewed before we recommend a model.

Why Homeowners Choose ModernXscapes

An Appleton Crew, an hour east From Manitowoc.

About an hour east

Our shop is in Appleton, about an hour east from Manitowoc. Site visits, punch-list items, and warranty follow-up do not depend on an out-of-town crew making a special trip.

Built For This Site

We plan around Lake Michigan wind and moisture, which drive fastener, finish, and anchoring decisions. That gets sorted during design, not discovered mid-build.

Licensed Wisconsin Contractor

Wisconsin Dwelling Contractor #744. Every structure, deck, and pool surround is built to code with documented materials from StruXure, Cabana X, TimberTech/AZEK, Lumon, and Sonos.

One Team, Start To Finish

Design, product selection, permitting, and installation run through the same people — so the deck, pergola, and pool read as one project instead of three separate jobs.

Local FAQ

Manitowoc Outdoor Living Questions.

Do you build in Manitowoc?

Yes. Manitowoc is inside our regular service area — roughly 100 miles around Appleton — and our shop in Appleton is about an hour east. We also work throughout Manitowoc County and nearby communities like Two Rivers, Mishicot, Valders, and Kiel. Call 920-949-6892 to check timing for your project.

What should Manitowoc homeowners plan for on their site?

Every property is different, but around Manitowoc we most often plan around Lake Michigan wind and moisture, which drive fastener, finish, and anchoring decisions. We walk the site, confirm setbacks and utilities, and design to the conditions rather than dropping in a stock layout.

Do fiberglass pools work this far north?

Yes. A one-piece fiberglass shell flexes with ground movement instead of cracking, and the smooth non-porous surface holds up well through freeze-thaw seasons. We install freeze-rated plumbing and handle winterization so the system is protected through the off-season.

Who handles permits and inspections?

We manage permitting as part of the project — zoning and setback review, application, and coordination with the Manitowoc County or municipal building department that has jurisdiction over your address.

When should I start planning a summer project?

Late fall through winter is the ideal window. Design, permitting, and material lead times all take weeks, so planning early puts your build near the front of the spring schedule instead of waiting behind it.
