Complete Landscape Makeovers
Our complete landscape makeovers transform outdoor spaces through comprehensive redesign and installation. We remove outdated elements, regrade land for proper drainage, and install new features like patios, retaining walls, and irrigation systems. Our team ensures every detail aligns with your vision while maintaining functional outdoor living spaces that enhance property value.
Retaining Wall Installation
We build durable retaining walls using interlocking blocks, natural stone, and other premium materials. Our walls prevent erosion, manage water runoff, and create usable yard space. Each installation follows strict engineering principles for structural integrity while incorporating aesthetic elements that complement your property's architecture.
Wet Basement Waterproofing
Our waterproofing solutions address the root causes of wet basements through proper grading, drain tile installation, and foundation sealing. We excavate around foundations, install drainage systems, and regrade land to direct water away, protecting your home from water damage and mold growth while increasing usable basement space.
Patio Installation
We create custom patios using pavers and natural stone, designed to withstand Minnesota's climate. Our process includes proper grading, base preparation, and material selection to ensure lasting beauty and functionality. We integrate patios with other landscape features like fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and lighting systems.
Buckthorn Removal
Our team removes invasive buckthorn plants that threaten native ecosystems. We use specialized equipment to extract entire root systems, preventing regrowth, and restore affected areas with native plantings. This service improves property aesthetics while promoting environmental sustainability in Minnesota woodlands.
