HOW COMMERCIAL INSTALLS WORK
From site audit to a finished install
Five steps, run the same way on every commercial property — so your team always knows what’s next.
01
Site Audit
We walk the property with your management team, documenting goals, constraints and existing conditions before anything is designed.
1–2 days · Free
02
Design
A professional landscape plan with plant schedule, hardscape specs and a realistic timeline, reviewed with you before it goes to proposal.
1–3 weeks
03
Proposal
A line-item proposal with scope, phasing options and transparent pricing. No surprise change orders once work starts.
3–5 days
04
Install
In-house crews only. Work is phased to keep tenants moving and the jobsite cleaned at the end of every day.
2–8 weeks
05
Maintain
Optional year-round maintenance keeps the property looking like hand-off day: spring cleanup and new plantings, summer mowing and pest care, fall aeration and irrigation winterization, and 24/7 snow response all winter.

THE DIFFERENCE
Backed by a written warranty, not just a promise
Most commercial landscape contractors hand off the install and disappear. We design, build and warranty every element ourselves — so what your tenants see in year three is still what you signed off on at proposal.
5YR
HARDSCAPE WARRANTY · WRITTEN INTO CONTRACT
Built once, built right — for five Minnesota winters and counting.
Hardscape is covered five years, trees two years, shrubs and perennials one year — the same published warranty schedule on every job, commercial or residential. If a paver shifts or a tree fails in year two, we’re back without an invoice.
“They honored their warranty without question when we needed a minor repair after winter.” — Multi-year commercial client
In-house design and build
Our designers sit next to our install crews. No subcontractors, no finger-pointing, no “that wasn’t in the design.” The same name on the proposal is the foreman on day one.
Zero subcontracted installs
Zone 4a-proven plant palette
Every species we spec has survived multiple Twin Cities winters — not hoped to overwinter. Sourced from local growers and tested in real Zone 4a soil and weather.
Local-grown · climate-tested
Commercial-grade materials only
Belgard and Unilock pavers, contractor-grade base, structural geogrid where needed. These properties carry tenants and traffic, not just foot traffic, so we don’t cut residential corners.

OUR INSTALL PROMISE
Written, signed, accountable
Every North Ridge commercial proposal is a signed document — design specs, a fixed price and a written warranty your property file can hold onto.
PROPOSAL
A fixed-price document, not an estimate
Scope, phasing and pricing are all in writing before a shovel moves. No verbal add-ons, no surprise change orders once the crew is on site.
WARRANTY
5 years on hardscape, in writing
Your warranty terms are named in the contract, not implied in a handshake. If something fails inside the term, we’re back at no charge.
DOCUMENTATION
A paper trail for your property file
Design plans, the signed proposal and the warranty terms are all yours to keep — for the property manager’s file, the HOA board, or the next budget meeting.
Every commercial proposal includes a named project contact, from the first site walk to the final warranty walkthrough.
QUESTIONS PROPERTY MANAGERS ASK
Commercial design & install FAQ
Most commercial projects run four to twelve weeks from design approval to completion, depending on scope. Larger properties are often phased across multiple stages, and your proposal includes a specific timeline before work starts.
Yes. We manage the permits and approvals your project needs and stay current on codes across the Twin Cities metro, so compliance isn’t something your team has to track.
Yes — this is standard on commercial sites. Installs can run off-hours, on weekends, or in phases so tenants, customers and employees see minimal disruption.
Every install carries a written warranty: five years on hardscape, two years on trees, one year on shrubs and perennials. Terms are named in your proposal, not left to a verbal promise.
Yes. Ongoing maintenance plans cover mowing, fertilization, pruning and seasonal care so the landscape still looks like hand-off day years later — ask about adding it to your install contract.
