LANDSCAPING IN SOUTH ST PAUL, MN

Landscaping Around South St Paul's Mature Trees

South St Paul has the oldest tree canopy in the south metro — we design entry gardens and walkways around root systems instead of damaging them.

Serving South St Paul year-round — design and install in season, snow and ice all winter.

NORTH RIDGE IN SOUTH ST PAUL

A local crew, 6 min away

South St Paul has the oldest tree canopy of anywhere we work in the south metro, so most projects here are designed around mature root systems — no tilling or compaction near drip lines, and plant palettes chosen for shade rather than full sun. Front-yard work is what most homeowners start with: refreshed beds, walkway updates, and accent lighting that improve curb appeal without a full backyard renovation. At 6 minutes from our shop, South St Paul is also one of the fastest cities for us to reach, so smaller projects like these often start within a week of the first call.

FROM OUR SHOP TO SOUTH ST PAUL

We know what South St Paul ground does in a Minnesota winter.

South St Paul has the oldest tree canopy of anywhere we work in the south metro, so most projects here are designed around mature root systems — no tilling or compaction near drip lines, and plant palettes chosen for shade rather than full sun. Front-yard work is what most homeowners start with: refreshed beds, walkway updates, and accent lighting that improve curb appeal without a full backyard renovation. At 6 minutes from our shop, South St Paul is also one of the fastest cities for us to reach, so smaller projects like these often start within a week of the first call. 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.

“These guys showed up and cleared up my path from the shed to the house and laid down some gravel, then brought in huge cut sandstone boulders that look great. They then made a unique path through our decorative rock to the back door. It looks great and they cleaned up perfectly afterwards. I’d hire them again in a second for our next project in the spring!” — Frank R., South St Paul

SOUTH ST PAUL QUESTIONS

Questions from South St Paul homeowners

No — we design around them. No tilling or compaction near drip lines, and we choose shade-tolerant plants instead of forcing a full-sun palette into a shaded yard.

We’re only 6 minutes from our shop, so same-day site visits are easy and smaller projects often start within a week.

Entry-garden refreshes — updated beds, a new walkway, and accent lighting. It’s a smaller-scope, faster-turnaround project than a full backyard build.

Yes — hardscape permits, retaining walls over 4 ft, and right-of-way work are all handled in-house.

Our Concord project — a 180 sq ft walkway and planting refresh — was a 1-week install. Entry-garden refreshes like this usually land below our standard $8K-$25K range since they’re front-yard-only — ask for a free estimate and we’ll size it to your project.

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.”
