Landscape Design & Installation

Your outdoor space should be more than just functional. It should be a place where you want to spend time, a space that reflects your style and enhances your daily life. That is what great landscape design does. It transforms a yard into an extension of your home, creating areas for relaxation, entertainment, and enjoyment. Whether you are starting from scratch on new construction or renovating an existing landscape, professional design makes all the difference.

We take a different approach than many landscaping companies. Instead of offering cookie-cutter designs or pushing products you do not need, we start by listening to you. What do you want from your outdoor space? How do you plan to use it? What is your budget? These questions help us create a design that actually fits your life and your property. We consider everything from sun exposure and drainage to soil conditions and existing features when planning your landscape.

Good landscape design is both an art and a science. It requires understanding plant characteristics, growth habits, and environmental needs. It means knowing which materials work best in our Minnesota climate and how to create outdoor spaces that look great now and continue to improve over time. Our team brings years of experience designing and installing landscapes throughout St. Louis Park and surrounding communities, and we use that knowledge to create designs that truly work.

Great landscapes start with great planning. We follow a structured design process that ensures you get exactly what you want while avoiding costly mistakes or changes down the road. Here is how it works.

Step by Step

• Initial consultation to discuss your vision, needs, and budget
• Site analysis including measurements, soil testing, and drainage evaluation
• Concept development with rough sketches and plant selections
• Detailed design plan showing all elements, materials, and plantings
• Project timeline and accurate cost estimate
• Installation by our experienced crew
• Final walkthrough and care instructions

We present your design in a way that is easy to understand, even if you are not familiar with landscape terminology. You will see what plants we recommend and why, what materials we suggest, and how everything fits together. We encourage questions and welcome feedback because this is your landscape, and it should reflect your preferences.

Once you approve the design, we schedule the installation at a time that works for you. Our crews are professional, efficient, and respectful of your property. We protect existing features, minimize disruption, and clean up thoroughly at the end of each day. Most residential installations take between three days and two weeks depending on the scope, and we will give you a realistic timeline before we start.

We design and install all types of landscape features. Foundation plantings that enhance your home's curb appeal. Backyard gardens with perennials, shrubs, and ornamental trees. Outdoor living areas with seating walls, fire pits, and entertaining spaces. Whatever you envision for your property, we can help make it reality.

Plant selection is one of the most important parts of landscape design. We choose plants that thrive in our local climate, fit your site conditions, and match your maintenance preferences. Native plants that support local wildlife. Shade-tolerant varieties for tricky spots under trees. Low-maintenance options for busy homeowners. Colorful perennials that bloom from spring through fall. We know what works in St. Louis Park because we have been installing landscapes here for years.

We also integrate hardscape elements like paver patios, natural stone pathways, retaining walls, and decorative edging. These features add structure and functionality to your landscape while creating visual interest. Properly installed hardscaping lasts for decades and requires minimal maintenance, making it a smart investment in your property.

Lighting is another element we often incorporate into landscape designs. Well-placed outdoor lighting extends the use of your outdoor spaces into the evening hours, improves safety, and highlights your favorite landscape features. It transforms your entire property after dark and adds a layer of security by eliminating dark corners and shadows.
