Smart Landscaping for Compact Urban Lots
Hopkins is a walkable, urban suburb with about 19,000 residents packed into just over 4 square miles. That density creates a landscaping market very different from our lakefront core — smaller lots, tighter access, and homeowners who need every square foot of outdoor space to deliver maximum impact.
We completed a residential planting installation in Hopkins that illustrates our approach to these more compact properties. Rather than the large-scale hardscaping and shoreline work we are known for, this project focused on strategic plantings that transformed the curb appeal and functionality of the property. These smaller projects are just as important to us as six-figure lakeside builds.
The neighborhoods around Mainstreet Hopkins and near Cottageville Park feature charming homes from the 1920s through 1960s. Many of these properties have mature trees, aging foundation plantings, and landscapes that need a thoughtful refresh. Common requests include removing overgrown shrubs, installing new planting beds, adding mulch and edging, and creating small patio spaces for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Hopkins is also home to a growing number of townhomes and condominiums that need landscape maintenance services — lawn care, spring and fall cleanup, hedge pruning, and seasonal planting rotations. We provide all of these services for Hopkins residential clients who want a reliable, local contractor they can trust year-round.
From our Shorewood office, Hopkins is approximately 10 minutes east via Minnetonka Boulevard. We share a border with Minnetonka and are genuinely in the neighborhood — not commuting from across the metro.

We provide lawn mowing, spring and fall leaf cleanup, hedge pruning, mulch installation, dethatching, and fertilization for residential properties in Hopkins. Many homeowners start with a maintenance contract and later invest in design-build work as they see the quality of our team's work.
Yes. Many Hopkins lots are 50-60 feet wide, which requires careful space planning. Our 3D design process is especially valuable for compact lots because it lets you see exactly how a patio, planting bed, or seating area will fit. We have designed functional outdoor spaces on lots of all sizes.
