Landscaping

The landscape team at Minnehaha Falls provides professional landscape design and installation services to both homeowners and businesses. Every project is important and we are committed to getting the job done right.

Improving your outdoor space with professional landscaping is a worthwhile investment that will provide you with years of enjoyment. Landscaping done right increases the value of your home, expands your property and maximizes the space that you have for entertaining and outdoor living. Proper landscaping can provide much needed privacy and protect your home from damage. With new landscaping, you’ll enjoy a sense of pride in your neighborhood and have a welcoming space to gather family and friends.

With years of experience, we work directly with you to create an outdoor space that meets your needs – all with any eye toward creatively solving your space challenges, a concern for your budget and great attention to detail. We use quality materials in completing your project in a timely manner. Together, we will create a new outdoor area that you will love for years to come.

Plantings & Beyond
Our expertise goes way beyond plantings and seasonal color. Often times a landscape design will include stonework or other permanent structural features that enhance the space and increase its usefulness. Our projects often include various types of structural features and other elements as an integral part of the landscape architecture:

• Patios & Decks
• Walkways
• Driveways
• Retaining Walls
• Rain Gardens
• Gazebos, Arbors & Other Garden Structures
• Drainage Solutions
• New Sod
• Lighting
• And More!
