From 25 Years in the Field to Building Something Better
Grant Weedman spent more than two decades working in the landscape industry before founding Lifecycle Outdoor Services in 2019. Over those years, he worked on everything from basic residential installs to complex commercial projects, learning what separates a project that lasts from one that falls apart after a few Minnesota winters.
What he kept seeing was a gap between what homeowners expected and what most contractors delivered. Unclear pricing, missed timelines, poor communication, and shortcuts on base preparation and materials that showed up as cracks and shifting within a few years.
Lifecycle was built to close that gap. Every project starts with a clear plan, honest pricing, and materials selected specifically for Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles. Grant handles the design and project management personally, ensuring every detail is accounted for from the first consultation through final walkthrough.
Based in Shorewood, Minnesota, Lifecycle Outdoor Services now serves 29 communities across the Lake Minnetonka region, specializing in the projects other contractors turn down: complex lakeside retaining walls, engineered shoreline restorations, and multi-phase outdoor living transformations that require permitting, heavy equipment, and years of specialized knowledge.
Grant Weedman
Founder & Owner, Lifecycle Outdoor Services
With over 25 years of hands-on experience in the landscape industry, Grant brings a rare combination of technical expertise, creative design ability, and genuine care for every project he takes on. He is not a salesperson who hands your project off to a crew you never meet. Grant is on your property during every phase of the build, making sure the work matches the plan.
Grant holds the relationships with local suppliers, understands the permitting requirements for every municipality and watershed district in the Lake Minnetonka region, and has the equipment and crew to handle projects ranging from $15,000 residential plantings to $245,000 lakeside renovations.
His clients describe him as a great communicator, creative problem solver, and someone who genuinely cares about the outcome. In an industry where homeowners routinely deal with contractors who ghost after the deposit, Grant's approach is straightforward: answer every call, show up when promised, and build something you are proud of.
