Whew!  It always seems like the whirlwind of spring turns into summer before we even know it.   It's been a great landscaping season so far.  We're excited to share some photos of a few of the projects we've been working on, and we'll be adding more photos soon!    Also, feel free to check out a lot of other past projects from previous years by clicking in the green box to the right.

Completed mid-April:  An old square deck was removed, and a new patio with sitting wall and pillars went in it's place.   A large curved stoop gives easy access to the patio door, and also gives extra room for potted plants and informal sitting space for the kids.

 

Completed late April:   A new clay paver patio and sidewalk stay true to this vintage South Minneapolis home.   By adding a slight curve to the sidewalk area, a softer look is achieved, and the homeowners were able to make the most of their open yard area opposite the patio.  

More pictures coming - we went back and planted this area later in the spring!


Completed Early May:   This St. Paul home had an old concrete area between the clients garage and back door that filled up with water and ice every winter, and the homeowners had reached the end of sand-bagging the area so they called us.   We regraded the back yard to work the drainage around the house, and installed a new back entry and wrap-around sidewalk area with proper slope to drain away from the house.

Completed Late May:  This home originally had a very large deck that had some footing issues, and a backyard with a steep grassy slope to get to the backyard, which didn't have any living spaces to take advantage of the space they had.   The previous deck, footings, and rock came out, and a new deck went in with paved living space underneath it.   To the side of that we added a gas firepit, and reshaped the hillside and boulder wall to add granite steps and extend the boulder wall which allowed us to lessen the steepness of the grassy slope down to the yard.
