THE DIFFERENCE
Designed Around How Your Family Lives Outside
Most contractors hand you a pattern-book design and a one-year handshake warranty. We design around how your kids play and where you grill — backed by a 5-year written warranty.
5YR
HARDSCAPE WARRANTY · WRITTEN, NOT VERBAL
Your family will still be using this in 2031 — not pulling up pavers.
Pavers, walls, and walkways are covered five years in writing. Plantings are covered two. If a paver shifts, a wall settles, or a tree fails in year two, we come back — no invoice. Most residential contractors offer a one-year courtesy handshake; we put your name on a five-year warranty.
“Definitely worth the investment. The team was on time every day, very professional. Nick and Brandon are easy to work with and extremely customer-oriented.” — Jeremy T., Twin Cities residential renovation
One Free 60-Minute Design Visit
We walk your yard and ask how your family actually uses the space — kids, dogs, entertaining, quiet mornings. Then we design around that, not a catalog page.
No obligation · free
The Same Crew Designs And Builds
The people who quote your project are the people who build it. No subcontracted finish work, and no one to blame when something needs a second look.
Zero subcontractors
Zone 4a-Proven Materials Only
Every paver, plant, and finish we spec has already survived a Twin Cities winter — Belgard, Unilock, and locally-grown plants, climate-tested before they touch your property.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Full design-and-install projects typically run $15,000 to $75,000, depending on scope, site conditions and materials. Focused single-element work — a patio, a garden bed, a front-entry refresh — starts around $5,000. Your free consultation gets you a real proposal against your actual budget, including phased options if you want to spread the cost across seasons.
Most designs take 1-2 weeks from your first visit — site walk, concept, material and plant selection, and a detailed plan. More complex projects with revisions can take a little longer. We’d rather get it right before anyone breaks ground.
Yes. Many homeowners design the whole property up front, then prioritize and build it in stages based on budget and timeline — you still get one cohesive design even if it’s built across multiple seasons.

Yes. We pull all required permits for retaining walls, patios, grading, and any structural elements, and we know the building codes across the Twin Cities metro, so your project stays fully compliant.
