Patios
With landscape design in Minnetonka, MN, decorative concrete pavers and natural stone are the main materials used in these Hardscape portions of your project. Partnering these materials with smart design can create warmth, movement and even curiosity with the way patios and walkways are installed.
Visit our Project Gallery and Before & After page to see the ways a beautiful hardscape can improve the appeal of your entire yard!
Steps
Because our properties are not flat, when considering landscape design in Excelsior, MN, we need steps and stairs to easily traverse these areas. This utilitarian function can really look good with smart design and great materials such as decorative concrete landing units, stone, composite materials and wood.

Walls
Typically, retention calls for retaining walls. In some situations, a retaining wall is a must. Boulders, decorative concrete block and natural stone are the main mediums used. However, many hillsides are more cost effectively and aesthetically retained with a mix of walls and outcropping.
A need to add retention into your yard can actually be an opportunity to add some beautiful landscaping features. See our Project Gallery and Before & After page to view some beautiful outcroppings and retaining walls.
Lighting
A defined pace for a grill or bar help organize outdoor spaces and can also add a very nice visual element to the landscape. Low voltage lighting has really come a long way since the introduction of LED and is more cost effective than ever before in the past.

Fire
Fire and water have an uncanny way of magnetizing conversation and relaxation. Outdoor fireplaces and fire pits are a great way to anchor a patio or seat wall. When added to your landscape design in Minnetonka, MN, fireplaces create heat, privatization and a vertical visual interest that is unrivaled.
See our gallery of fireplaces and fire pits here or see how these elements can aid in the transformation of your spaces.
Pergolas
Pergolas offer shade from the sun while letting the breeze flow through the structure, without obscuring the view. The patio will instantly be elevated by a well-constructed, permanent structure. It becomes obvious that this structure is a stable, permanent home for family and friends.
