Services
Landscape Design
Our landscape design service creates tailored outdoor environments combining aesthetics with functionality. Using 3D visualization tools and site analysis, we develop plans that address drainage challenges while enhancing property value. Each design incorporates climate-appropriate plantings and hardscaping elements that withstand Minnesota's weather extremes, with detailed project timelines and material specifications provided before installation begins.
Drainage Solutions
Specialized drainage systems prevent water damage to foundations and landscapes. We implement French drains, swales, and dry wells tailored to site-specific conditions, using perforated piping and filtration systems that comply with local codes. Our solutions address both surface water accumulation and subsurface moisture issues, with options for integrating sump pump discharge and gutter extensions.
Lawn Care
Comprehensive lawn programs include mowing, fertilization, and aeration services for healthy turf growth. Our technicians apply customized treatment plans based on soil tests and grass species, using organic options for environmentally conscious clients. Seasonal preparations ensure year-round lawn vitality through Minnesota's variable climate conditions.
Snow Removal
Commercial and residential snow removal includes plowing, de-icing, and snow hauling services. We maintain parking lots and walkways with industrial equipment and environmentally safe de-icers, providing 24/7 emergency response during major storms. Custom service plans accommodate properties of all sizes with minimal landscape impact.
Retaining Walls
Structural retaining walls combine functionality with aesthetic appeal using interlocking block, natural stone, or boulder materials. Our installations incorporate proper drainage systems to prevent hydrostatic pressure buildup, with design options ranging from traditional tiered gardens to modern architectural features that enhance property boundaries.
