About Us

Our History
Clifford Orsted moved his landscape company (Dramatic Gardens of Mystery, Excitement & Beauty) from Santa Cruz, CA (1990-1999) to his native Door County in March 1999. In February 2001 the company was incorporated as C G ORSTED INC dba Door Landscape & Nursery. The company name was changed to Door Landscape & Nursery to reflect Clifford’s vision of shifting the company’s focus to creating landscapes in harmony with Door County’s native plant communities in order to provide clients with sustainable, low maintenance landscapes with increased biodiversity appropriate to their surroundings. Tim Duquaine, Vice President & General Manager, purchased the company as of July 1, 2022.
