Space to Slow Down, Right Outside Your Door

Outdoor lounge with wicker sofas, orange accent chairs and a cedar privacy screen on a patio in Edina, MN

Some of the best hours at home are the unplanned ones: kids chasing fireflies at dusk, a birthday party that drifts out the back door, a quiet corner where an afternoon nap feels perfectly reasonable. A patio gives those hours a place to land. We plan every Edina patio installation around the way your household spends time outside, then connect the patio, its walkways, and the surrounding gardens, so they read as a single outdoor landscape design. Minnehaha Falls Landscaping keeps each step with our own local crew, and as patio installers, we set every patio on a compacted base that stays level and sheds water away from the house.

We are long time customers of Minnehaha Falls Landscaping. As I sit on my porch watching the monarch butterflies enjoying my pollinator garden I appreciate the service we’ve had over the years. It started with their snow removal service as we decided doing it ourselves was too much. Next up were the pollinator gardens and replacing our lawn with no mow bee gardens. This year we added garden maintenance to the mix so gardening is not a chore but is enjoyable. We recommend them very highly.

Minnehaha Falls landscaping did an amazing job transforming our yard. They added beautiful plantings that made the yard feel fresh and new. The lighting they installed really makes everything shine at night. They were professional, creative and very easy to work with. We have had so many compliments from our neighbors! I highly recommend to anyone!

Edina's Two Coverage Limits, Explained

In Edina’s single dwelling district, a patio can count against two separate limits at the same time. Here’s how each one works.

  • Impervious surface: Lots in the R-1 district are limited to 50 percent impervious surface coverage.
  • Building coverage: Lots of 9,000 square feet or more are limited to 25 percent, and smaller lots to 30 percent or 2,250 square feet, whichever is less.
  • Where patios fit: Edina’s code includes decks and patios in building coverage, leaving only a small first portion of an unenclosed deck or patio out of the count.
  • Side yard setback: Uncovered, unenclosed patios need at least 5 feet from an interior side lot line.

Because one patio can affect both numbers, the math matters more than most homeowners expect. We add up the home, garage, drive, and walkways, measure what’s left under each limit, and size the patio so it fits both before we draw a single line.

Patio Ideas for Edina Homes

Careful patio design and installation means choosing a surface and layout that suit the house as well as the lot. These three are where most conversations begin.

Paver Patios

Pavers come in tones and textures that pair with brick, stone, or siding, and they're laid as individual pieces that ride through winter frost. Polymeric sand in the joints keeps the surface tight and tidy.

Natural Stone Patios

Flagstone in Chilton, limestone, Kasota stone, or Bluestone brings a timeless look that settles beautifully into mature gardens. Choose an irregular layout for warmth or a cut pattern for clean lines.

Seat Walls and Shade

A seat wall adds room for guests without extra chairs, and a patio can be planned with shade in mind. Our pergola builders in Edina can add a cedar pergola now or down the road.

How We Price an Edina Patio

Every estimate is built from the site up, so similar patios can carry different prices. These line items make the biggest difference.

  • Patio area. Every added square foot raises material and labor costs, and in Edina it also uses more of your coverage allowance.
  • Stone or paver selection. Natural flagstone, cut stone, and concrete pavers each have their own material cost and installation time.
  • Groundwork. Excavating, hauling, compacting the gravel base, and handling drainage all happen before the patio surface is laid.
  • Working around mature landscapes. Protecting established trees, beds, and lawn during construction can add care and time.
  • Built-in extras. Adding seating walls, steps, or lights is simplest in the first design.

Your itemized estimate shows each factor on its own line, and you can explore the materials and patio designs we offer to see what fits your budget and style.

Our Process

An Edina patio takes shape in three steps. With one team handling all three, decisions made early carry through to the finished surface.

Plan

We meet at the house, look at your existing coverage, and hear how you picture using the patio.

Design

We draft a detailed layout and itemized estimate, sized to fit within both of Edina’s coverage limits.

Build

Our crew builds the base, lays the patio, restores the surrounding yard, and keeps in touch afterward.

Edina Patio FAQs

Yes. Edina's code includes decks and patios in building coverage, apart from a small first portion of an unenclosed deck or patio, and the patio also counts toward the 50 percent impervious surface limit. We calculate both before we finalize the size.

An uncovered, unenclosed patio needs at least 5 feet from an interior side lot line. Front and corner setbacks depend on the lot, so we confirm them during the site visit.

A slight grade can often be absorbed with careful grading and a step down from the house. For steeper yards, a low wall can create a level terrace, and our team handling retaining wall installation in Edina can plan it with the patio.
