Lawn Care

Mowing at 3 inches or higher shades out weed seed and keeps roots deep through July. We cut on a set rotation, never taking more than a third of the blade, and leave clippings to feed the soil.

Lawn Maintenance

Beyond the cut there is edging, pruning, bed upkeep and the spring and fall cleanups that decide how a lawn wakes up. We schedule all of it so nothing gets remembered in October.

Landscaping

Custom digital design comes first, so you see the beds, trees, curbing and water features before a shovel moves. Then we install what we drew, and the design costs half price when we build it.

Seeding

Hydroseed goes down as a slurry of seed, mulch and tackifier that holds on slopes where dry seed washes off. Very few crews in this area run it. Aeration and overseeding round out the thin spots.

Irrigation

Heads placed for head-to-head coverage waste far less than a system that soaks the driveway. We install, adjust and repair zones, then blow the lines out every fall before the first hard freeze.

Snow Removal

Roughly 48 inches falls here in an average winter, and salt quits working near 15 degrees. We plow, shovel, haul the piles off site and switch to sand when the pavement gets too cold.

Hardscape

Stone, block and paver work carries the load a lawn never does, so the base matters more than the surface. We excavate, compact in lifts and set every course to string line and level.

Patios

A patio that stays flat through a Minnesota freeze-thaw winter is mostly gravel you never see. Six inches of compacted class 5, proper pitch for runoff, then polymeric sand locking every joint tight.

Retaining Walls

Walls fail from water, not weight. Every one we set gets washed drainage rock behind the block, a drain tile outlet, and geogrid tied back into the slope once the height calls for it.

Drainage

Standing water beside a foundation is a grading problem before it is a plumbing problem. We map where the water actually goes, then install French drains, catch basins, dry wells or drain tile to move it.

Grading

Code wants ground falling away from a house about 6 inches over the first 10 feet. Laser and skid steer work gets you there, whether the goal is a level lawn or a driveway that sheds water.

Land Clearing

Brush, stumps and scrub trees come out before any lot becomes a lawn, a building pad or a pasture. We haul the debris, grind what is left and leave ground ready for the next stage.
