The Largest City on Our Home Turf
Minnetonka is the biggest city in our immediate service area, stretching from the Hopkins Crossroad corridor in the east to the shores of Lake Minnetonka in the west. That diversity creates a wide range of landscaping needs — and we have built projects across nearly every Minnetonka neighborhood.
The Ridgedale area and neighborhoods along Minnetonka Boulevard feature mid-century homes on established lots with mature trees. Many of these properties have original landscaping from the 1970s and 1980s that is ready for a full refresh. Further west, properties near Grays Bay and Enchanted Island sit on the lake itself, bringing shoreline erosion and retaining wall challenges into play.
Minnetonka also has significant new construction in areas like Glen Lake and along Highway 101, where builders finish the house but leave the landscape bare. We step in with complete design-build packages — from grading and drainage to patios, plantings, and lighting — so new homeowners can enjoy a finished outdoor space within weeks of moving in.
From our Shorewood headquarters on Minnetonka Blvd, we reach any Minnetonka address in 5 to 10 minutes. That proximity means faster site visits, easier project management, and the ability to check on work daily during active builds.
Services Minnetonka Homeowners Request Most
Retaining Walls
Minnetonka's rolling terrain means retaining walls are not optional — they are structural necessities. We engineer systems that handle grade changes and resist Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles.
Paver Patios & Outdoor Living
County Materials and natural stone patios ranging from 400 sq ft backyard spaces to 1,200+ sq ft entertaining areas with outdoor kitchens and fire features.
Landscape Design for New Construction
Minnetonka's new-build developments need complete landscape solutions from grading and drainage to plantings and hardscaping. Our 3D renderings let you visualize everything before we start.
Every Corner of Minnetonka
Whether your home is in the established Ridgedale neighborhood near the mall, along the tree-lined streets off Hopkins Crossroad, in the lakeside communities near Grays Bay, or in the newer developments around Glen Lake — we know the terrain, the soil conditions, and the local regulations that affect your project.
Minnetonka properties along the lake face unique challenges: high water tables, strict MCWD setback requirements, and the need for materials that withstand constant moisture exposure. Inland properties deal more with clay soils, drainage issues from impervious surfaces, and managing mature tree root systems during construction.
We have active relationships with Minnetonka's building department and understand their permitting requirements for retaining walls, grading changes, and impervious surface coverage. This means faster approvals and fewer surprises during your project.
Common Questions from Minnetonka Homeowners
Our office is on Minnetonka Blvd in Shorewood — literally on the border of Minnetonka. Most Minnetonka addresses are 5-10 minutes from our shop, which means faster site visits and easier project management.
Absolutely. Lakefront work is one of our specialties. We handle MCWD permitting, shoreline erosion control, retaining walls with lake access stairs, and landscape design for properties directly on Lake Minnetonka. Our crew has decades of experience with the access constraints and environmental requirements that lakefront work demands.
Paver patio costs in Minnetonka typically range from $18,000 to $45,000 depending on size, materials, and site conditions. A standard 500 sq ft County Materials paver patio with proper base preparation runs around $22,000-$28,000. Larger projects with outdoor kitchens, fire features, or integrated retaining walls can reach $80,000-$110,000. We provide detailed, itemized quotes after an on-site evaluation.
Yes — hilly, sloped lots are actually our specialty. Many Minnetonka properties have significant grade changes that require engineered retaining wall systems, proper drainage planning, and careful grading. We use 3D design software to model these changes before construction, so you see exactly how the finished grades, walls, and terraces will look.
Yes. We provide lawn care, spring and fall cleanup, hedge pruning, mulch installation, and fertilization for both residential and commercial properties in Minnetonka. Many of our design-build clients continue with ongoing maintenance to protect their investment.
