Landscaping Services in Brooklyn Park, MN

Most homeowners start with one idea: a patio, a tired lawn, a walkway that never made sense. Then they want the rest of the property to match. We offer the full variety of landscaping services in-house, so you can start with one piece and add the others later. The aim stays the same either way — an outdoor space that is easy to enhance and easy to maintain.

Landscape Design

CAD drawings of the finished outdoor space, with quick revisions until the plan matches what you pictured.

Lawn & Plantings

Sod, seeding, garden beds, perennials, mulch, and decorative rock — the softscape work that makes a lawn look finished.

Custom Tree Planting

Shade, ornamental, and evergreen trees sized and sited for the property, planted at the right depth so they establish.

Hardscaping: Patios & Walkways

Brick, tumbled pavers, natural stone, and concrete — laid on a properly compacted base so the surface stays level for decades.

Retaining Walls

Block and boulder walls that hold a slope, plus grading and drainage work that moves water away from the house instead of toward it.

Outdoor Living

Backyard spaces built for entertaining — seating areas, dining space, and the hardscape that ties them to the rest of the yard.

Fire Features

Custom fireplaces and fire pits in matching stone and brick, sized to the patio so the space still works when they aren't lit.

Outdoor Kitchens & Bars

Built-in grills, counters, and bar seating so whoever's cooking stays with the guests instead of running back to the house.

Pergolas & Structures

Pergolas, arbors, and covered structures that add shade and give an open patio a sense of enclosure.

Lighting & Irrigation

Low-voltage LED path and accent lighting, plus sprinkler systems with smart controllers and rain sensors.

Pool Projects & Water Features

Pool decks and surrounds, plus ponds, pondless waterfalls, and bubbling rock features.

Shoreline Restoration

Stabilizing and replanting lakefront and creekside edges that have eroded, with permitting handled.

Maintenance

Mowing, pruning, bed care, and seasonal clean-up that keeps a finished project looking the way it did on day one.

See It Before We Build It

Landscape Design & CAD Renderings

Our designers work in professional CAD software. You see a near-exact rendering of the finished outdoor space before a single shovel hits the ground.

Revisions are quick. We refine the plan with you — the size of the patio, where the walkway lands, which materials go where — until it matches what you pictured. Then we build it as drawn.

A professional landscape design does more than look good on screen. It sets the grades, plans the drainage, and sequences the work so nothing gets torn out later, and it raises the value of the property while you enjoy it. See how our process works from first call to final walkthrough.

Beauty Is in the Details

Lawn, Plantings & Custom Tree Planting

We have spent more than two decades as landscaping contractors, and we build around how a yard actually gets used. A healthy lawn. Layered garden beds, perennials, and decorative rock that bring a bit of nature right up to the house.

Custom tree planting is the part most people underestimate. The right tree in the right spot shades a patio in ten years, screens a neighbor's view, or frames the house. The wrong one heaves a walkway or drops limbs on the roof.

So we choose species for your soil and exposure. We site them clear of walls and utilities. And we plant at the correct depth, so the root flare is never buried.

What this work covers:

  • Sod and grass seeding
  • Custom tree planting
  • Shrub and hedge planting
  • Perennial and garden beds
  • Mulch and rock beds
  • Decorative edging
  • Soil grading and excavation
  • Sustainable, low-water planting

Once the beds are in, our maintenance crews can keep them pruned, mulched, and cleaned up season to season.

Where Everyone Ends Up

Hardscaping: Patios, Walkways & Retaining Walls

A paver patio is where guests gather and where friends stay long after dinner. So we size it around how you actually entertain.

Then we pick materials that fit the house — concrete, pavers, natural stone, brick, or tile. Done well, hardscaping looks like it belongs to the property instead of sitting on top of it.

Walkways do quieter work. A well-placed pathway moves people from the driveway to the door without cutting across the lawn. It ties the backyard to the front. It gives the property a finished, deliberate look. Paired with low-voltage lighting, those walkways stay safe after dark.

Hardscaping we install:

  • Paver and stone patios
  • Walkways and garden pathways
  • Retaining walls and boulder walls
  • Driveways and aprons
  • Steps, seat walls, and borders
  • Fire pit and grill surrounds

Every surface starts with the part you never see: a properly excavated, compacted base with edge restraints. That's what keeps retaining walls, patios, and walkways level through Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles. Add a pergola or an outdoor kitchen and the patio becomes a room.

A Lawn That Holds Up

Lawn, Turf & Irrigation Services

New sod gives you a finished lawn the day the work ends, and it's the fastest way to recover a yard after construction or a bad season. Some spots defeat grass: deep shade, steep slopes, dog runs, the strip beside the patio that gets walked on all summer. Artificial turf keeps those areas green year-round with almost no upkeep.

Because we install irrigation and sprinkler systems ourselves, zones get designed around the actual beds and turf areas rather than retrofitted around them later. For businesses, associations, and athletic fields, see commercial irrigation.

What this work covers:

  • Sod installation
  • Grass seeding & hydroseeding
  • Artificial turf installation
  • Residential sprinkler systems
  • Commercial irrigation
  • Sprinkler repair
  • Smart controllers & rain sensors
  • Spring & fall service plans

Function Meets Ambiance

Landscape Lighting Installation

Outdoor lighting accentuates the architecture of the house. It also adds hours to every evening outside.

We install low-voltage LED fixtures. They match the brightness of higher-voltage systems on far less energy, which means lower power bills, cheaper bulbs, and less maintenance over the life of the system.

The layout balances safety with atmosphere: path lights along the walkways, uplighting on specimen trees, soft washes on stone and brick. It works as part of a larger build or as an addition to a patio you already have. See our outdoor lighting page.

A Variety of Materials

Choose What Fits the House

Material choice drives both the look and the long-term maintenance of a project. We'll bring samples to the consultation and show you how each one ages on properties around town.

Concrete Poured or stamped, the budget-friendly choice for large driveways and patios with a clean, uniform finish.
Pavers Brick and tumbled pavers in dozens of patterns. Individual units can be lifted and reset, so repairs are simple.
Natural Stone Flagstone, boulders, and cut stone for a look no two properties share — the most organic option we offer.
Brick & Tile Classic bricks and tile accents that pick up the color of the house and warm up walkways and borders.
Built to Last, Built Responsibly

Sustainability in Every Plan

Sustainability isn't a line item we add at the end. It gets decided in the design, while plant choice, grading, and irrigation zones are still on paper and still cheap to change.

Water Conservation Smart controllers, rain and moisture sensors, and drip lines put water where it's needed. Our technicians hold EPA WaterSense and Certified Irrigation Technician credentials.
Right Plant, Right Place Native and low-water species matched to the soil and sun on your property need less watering, less replacement, and less chemical input to stay healthy.
Drainage Done Right As NDS-certified drainage contractors, we grade and route runoff so water soaks in on site instead of eroding beds or overloading the storm drain.
Smart Salting Our winter crews are Smart Salting trained through the MPCA, which keeps chloride out of local lakes and groundwater without sacrificing safe surfaces.

The practical upside is that a sustainable outdoor space is a cheaper one to maintain. Less water, fewer replacement plants, and fewer callbacks over the life of the landscape.

How a Project Runs

Four Steps, One Contractor

Each phase has to finish before the next one starts. That is exactly why splitting a project across separate contractors goes sideways so often.

Walk the Property

We meet you at the house, look at grades, drainage, sun, and access, and talk through how you want to use the space. Estimates are free.

Design & Revise

You get a CAD rendering of the finished yard plus material options. We revise until it's right, then price the final scope in writing.

Build It

Our own crews excavate, compact, install, and plant on a schedule you have in advance. One point of contact the whole way through.

Final Walkthrough

We walk the finished project with you, cover care and irrigation settings, and back the work with a written workmanship warranty.

Common Questions

Landscaping Services in Brooklyn Park, MN — FAQ

How much does landscaping cost in Brooklyn Park?
Cost depends on the size of the space, the materials you choose, and how much site work the yard requires. A planting refresh sits at one end of the range; a full backyard build with a paver patio, walkways, lighting, and irrigation sits at the other. We walk the property, price the actual scope, and give you a written estimate at no charge, and we offer financing options if you'd rather spread the cost out.
What's the best time of year to landscape in Minnesota?
Design work happens year-round, and winter is the best time to get on the spring schedule. Installation runs from thaw through late fall. Hardscape work like patios and walkways can continue later into the season than planting and sod, which need time to root before the ground freezes.
Do you handle both the design and the construction?
Yes. We're a design-build company, so the same team that draws your plan builds it. One contractor and one point of contact from the first consultation through the final walkthrough — no coordinating between a designer, a mason, an electrician, and an irrigation crew.
How long does a landscaping project take?
Most residential projects run one to three weeks on site once we start, depending on scope and access. Design and revisions happen before that and usually take two to four weeks. You get the schedule in writing before work begins.
What trees do you recommend planting in Minnesota?
It depends on the spot more than the species list. We look at soil, drainage, sun, and how much room the canopy and roots get in twenty years. Often that means maples, lindens, serviceberry, or evergreens for screening. But siting is the bigger decision — keeping trees clear of walkways, retaining walls, and utility lines is what prevents expensive problems later.
Do you maintain the landscape after you install it?
Yes. Our maintenance crews handle mowing, pruning, bed care, mulch refresh, and seasonal clean-up, and our irrigation team does spring start-ups and fall blowouts. A plan designed for low upkeep still needs someone to keep it that way.
Will pavers shift or heave through Minnesota winters?
Not when the base is built correctly. Frost movement almost always traces back to an under-excavated or poorly compacted base. We excavate to depth, compact in lifts, and set edge restraints so patios and walkways stay level through freeze-thaw cycles.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We handle commercial site design, landscape management, commercial irrigation, and snow & ice management for townhome associations, businesses, and athletic fields across the Twin Cities metro. More questions are answered on our FAQ page.
