Envirolok Vegetated Bags

The new Envirolok Sysyem is a patent-pending erosion control and slope stabilization system. The system combines ecologically advanced soil bags and native plants and seed to create vegetated walls which are strong, environmentally-friendly and create beautiful and permanent natural landscapes.

New Envirolok System technology locks soil in place to create soil confinement immediately on installation - holding the soil in place long enough to establish vegetation with the extensive root system of native plants. When the native plants are established their roots lock the bagged soil in place for a permanent, ecology-sound and beautiful erosion control solution.

Use Envirolok Vegetated Retaining Walls for:

• Erosion control
• Shoreline stabilization
• Storm water management
• Stream restorations
• Residential lakeshore preservation
• Landscape enhancements
• Creating functional green spaces
• Creating naturalized buffers along tributaries
• Natural retailing walls
  
  

Native Plants

We are currently in the process of growing native plants of Wisconsin. We are very excited about our native plants and hope to have more of them available by mid summer. Many of our varieties are on the Barron County Lakeshore Plant Recommendation List provided by the Barron County Soil & Water Conservation Department. Some of our varieties include New England Aster, Pale Indian Plantain, Switch Grass, Purple Prairie Clover, Prairie Blazingstar, Golden Alexanders and Great Blue Lobelia.

DeWayne's Landscaping

DeWayne has 32 years experience in the landscaping business. There are very few landscapers that pay attention to the little things that matter more the DeWayne does. The little things such as proper drainage, perfect curves and the right look.

We specialize in lakeshore property, doing lakeshore restorations with the Envirolok bag and native plants. Other areas on lakeshores that we design are the no mow zones. Rain gardens work well in those areas along with perennials or native plants. Don't forget, there is always room for more trees and shrubs.

Residential landscaping jobs involve foundation plantings with trees and shrubs, sodding new yards, brick patios and sidewalks. Do you have the urge to do some landscaping projects yourself and would like some good advice? Bring in a few good quality pictures and measurements of the area you would like to change. Dewey can give you information and ideas that can help you do the job right.

A few of the commercial jobs over the years that were done by DeWayne's Landscaping are: Barron Electric, Dairy State Bank, First Star Bank, Nichols-Homeshield, Rice Lake Cedar Mall and Rice Lake Weighing Systems.
