NORTH RIDGE IN APPLE VALLEY
A local crew, 12 min away
Apple Valley is one of the most family-heavy cities we serve, so most designs here start with how kids and pets actually use a yard — kid-safe paver edges, fire pits placed away from play zones, and plant choices tough enough to survive a stray soccer ball. The soil is heavy clay, much like neighboring Eagan, so every hardscape still gets 6+ inches of compacted Class-5 base and proper grading. Around Cobblestone Lake and the Galaxie corridor, that combination is what keeps a patio from sinking by year five.

FROM OUR SHOP TO APPLE VALLEY
We know what Apple Valley ground does in a Minnesota winter.
Apple Valley is one of the most family-heavy cities we serve, so most designs here start with how kids and pets actually use a yard — kid-safe paver edges, fire pits placed away from play zones, and plant choices tough enough to survive a stray soccer ball. The soil is heavy clay, much like neighboring Eagan, so every hardscape still gets 6+ inches of compacted Class-5 base and proper grading. Around Cobblestone Lake and the Galaxie corridor, that combination is what keeps a patio from sinking by year five. That is not something you learn from a spec sheet — it comes from building here, season after season, and going back to the same properties year after year.

APPLE VALLEY QUESTIONS
Questions from Apple Valley homeowners
Yes — it’s most of what we build here. Kid-safe paver edges, fire pits set away from play areas, and durable plants that hold up to trampolines and dogs.
We’re 12 minutes from our Inver Grove Heights shop and offer same-day site visits when possible, with a written proposal within 5 business days.
It can if it’s not built for. Apple Valley sits on heavy clay similar to Eagan, so we compact 6+ inches of Class-5 base and grade for runoff on every hardscape — it’s why our patios here don’t sink or crack.
All of them, with a lot of our recent work concentrated around Cobblestone Lake and the Galaxie corridor.
Our Cobblestone Lake project — a 600 sq ft patio and fire pit — was a 3-week install. No hard minimum: most family-focused projects here land in our standard $8K-$25K range.

LANDSCAPE + WARRANTY
“They helped in the design and installation of retaining walls, a beautiful fire pit and gardens, drainage systems, patios, and they planned and planted hundreds of plants and trees. They completed every project on time and on budget, and they honored their warranty without question when we needed to repair a minor issue after the winter months.”
