NORTH RIDGE IN BURNSVILLE
A local crew, 15 min away
Burnsville’s bluff-lot terrain means walls over 4 ft need engineered drawings, geogrid reinforcement, and proper drainage tile before we ever set a block — we handle all three in-house so there are no surprises mid-build. Most of the failed hardscapes we get called to fix here failed because of water, not weight, so we grade aggressively and route runoff away from the foundation on every job. If your backyard drops 6 ft over 20 ft, that’s a normal Tuesday for us, not a reason to say no.

Built for Burnsville properties
Engineered retaining walls on river-bluff lots is the thing that separates work that lasts here from work that does not.

FROM OUR SHOP TO BURNSVILLE
We know what Burnsville ground does in a Minnesota winter.
Burnsville’s bluff-lot terrain means walls over 4 ft need engineered drawings, geogrid reinforcement, and proper drainage tile before we ever set a block — we handle all three in-house so there are no surprises mid-build. Most of the failed hardscapes we get called to fix here failed because of water, not weight, so we grade aggressively and route runoff away from the foundation on every job. If your backyard drops 6 ft over 20 ft, that’s a normal Tuesday for us, not a reason to say no. 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.

BURNSVILLE QUESTIONS
Questions from Burnsville homeowners
Yes — it’s a specialty, not an exception. We build tiered walls with engineered drawings, geogrid reinforcement, and drainage tile for slopes most contractors turn down.
We’re 15 minutes from our Inver Grove Heights shop and offer same-day site visits when possible, with a written proposal within 5 business days.
Any wall over 4 ft here needs engineered drawings, geogrid, and drainage tile — Burnsville’s river-bluff terrain makes that a requirement, not just good practice. We handle the engineering and the permit in-house.
Almost always water, not weight. Without drainage tile behind the wall, hydrostatic pressure pushes it out over a few winters. We install perforated drain tile behind every wall we build.
Our River Bluffs project — a 320 sq ft tiered wall and patio — was a 4-week install. Engineered wall work varies a lot by height and length, so we’ll give you a real number after a free site visit rather than a generic range.

“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.”
