Services
Landscape Design
Our custom landscape designs create functional, beautiful outdoor spaces tailored to Minnesota's climate. We combine artistic vision with practical considerations like drainage and plant hardiness. Clients receive detailed 3D plans showing hardscaping, plant placement, and lighting options.
Hardscaping
We install durable hardscape features including patios, retaining walls, and walkways using premium natural stone and pavers. Our designs address slope stabilization and drainage while enhancing property aesthetics. Projects integrate seamlessly with existing landscapes for lasting value.
Water Features
From tranquil ponds to dramatic waterfalls, our water features enhance outdoor environments. We design systems that complement existing landscapes while considering maintenance requirements. Installations use energy-efficient pumps and durable materials suited to Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles.
Garden Design
Our garden designs maximize seasonal interest using climate-appropriate plants. We create layouts for vegetable gardens, perennial beds, and container arrangements. Clients receive planting schedules and maintenance guidance for year-round beauty and productivity.
Outdoor Lighting
We install energy-efficient LED lighting systems to enhance safety and ambiance. Pathway, accent, and deck lighting options highlight architectural features and landscape elements. Systems are designed for durability against Minnesota weather while minimizing light pollution.

Report
We've had the Bjorkstrand crew clean our gutters for three years straight and are always more than happy with the results! I came home yesterday after having received a text that they had done the work and everything was exactly as I had left in the morning - except the gutters were clean! No mess, no patio furniture moved, and the patio was free of any of the gunk they removed from my gutters - I'would recommend Dean's crew to anyone wanting a high quality job done at a reasonable price! Thank you!
