LANDSCAPING IN MENDOTA HEIGHTS, MN

Estate-Scale Landscaping for Mendota Heights

Bigger, older Mendota Heights homes get natural stone and mature plant material instead of basic pavers — plus the bluff-lot engineering the terrain demands.

Serving Mendota Heights year-round — design and install in season, snow and ice all winter.

NORTH RIDGE IN MENDOTA HEIGHTS

A local crew, 10 min away

Mendota Heights homes tend to be bigger and older than what we see in the newer south-metro suburbs, so the work has to match — natural stone instead of basic pavers, mature plant material instead of starter shrubs, and lighting designed around trees and architecture that are already established. Many lots here also have bluff edges or steep transitions, so any wall over 4 ft gets engineered drawings, geogrid reinforcement, and drainage tile before we start. Around Somerset and the Dodd Road corridor, estate-scale projects like this typically book 6+ months out.

FROM OUR SHOP TO MENDOTA HEIGHTS

We know what Mendota Heights ground does in a Minnesota winter.

Mendota Heights homes tend to be bigger and older than what we see in the newer south-metro suburbs, so the work has to match — natural stone instead of basic pavers, mature plant material instead of starter shrubs, and lighting designed around trees and architecture that are already established. Many lots here also have bluff edges or steep transitions, so any wall over 4 ft gets engineered drawings, geogrid reinforcement, and drainage tile before we start. Around Somerset and the Dodd Road corridor, estate-scale projects like this typically book 6+ months out. 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.

Owners on site, not a call centre

Nick and Brandon are on the properties they sell. You are talking to the people who will actually be doing the work.

MENDOTA HEIGHTS QUESTIONS

Questions from Mendota Heights homeowners

Yes — it’s most of what we build here. Natural stone instead of basic pavers, mature plant material instead of starter shrubs, and lighting designed around existing architecture and trees.

Estate-scale work here typically books 6+ months in advance, so start the conversation well before Memorial Day for a 2026 install.

Many do. Walls over 4 ft on bluff edges or steep transitions need engineered drawings, geogrid, and drainage tile — we handle all three in-house along with the permit.

We’re 10 minutes from our Inver Grove Heights shop and offer same-day site visits when possible, with a written proposal within 5 business days.

Our Somerset project — a 1,400 sq ft retaining wall and planting install — was a 6-week build. Estate-scale stone and engineering cost more than a standard hardscape — we’ll give you a real number after seeing the site rather than a generic range that won’t fit your lot.
