Landscaping Services Built for Minnesota Homes and Conditions

Minneapolis’ Best Gardening

St. Louis Park is one of the Twin Cities’ most established first-ring suburbs, and its landscapes reflect that history. Homes in neighborhoods like Minikahda Vista, Bronx Park, and Sorensen have mature tree canopies, smaller lot footprints, and soils that have been compacted and regraded over decades of development. Those conditions make drainage slower, lawn establishment harder, and hardscape installation more demanding if the base work is not approached carefully from the start.

Minnehaha Falls Landscaping provides landscaping services in St. Louis Park, MN, designed specifically for those constraints. As a Twin Cities landscaping company with roots going back to 1957, we know that smaller lots and older urban soils require more careful planning, not just standard installation. Our approach combines practical design, soil-focused practices, and durable construction methods that account for root competition, slow drainage, and the wear Minnesota winters put on every outdoor surface.

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!

Our Process

We follow a clear, step-by-step process designed to keep projects organized, transparent, and predictable. From the first conversation through post-installation support, our approach helps ensure expectations are clear and results hold up over time.

1. Initial Contact & Scheduling an On-Site Consultation

Every project starts with a conversation. You reach out, we discuss your goals, and schedule an on-site consultation to review your property in person. This ensures we’re aligned before moving forward.

2. On-Site Consultation and Questions

We walk the property with you, evaluate soil, drainage, and sun exposure, and talk through design goals and maintenance expectations. For St. Louis Park properties, we pay close attention to how mature trees affect soil compaction and root competition, and where drainage slows during spring thaw and heavy rain.

3. Estimate Preparation After the Consultation

After the consultation, we prepare a clear, detailed estimate outlining scope, approach, and pricing. If adjustments are needed, we review options before any commitments are made.

4. Design Drawing and Project Manager Handoff

Once approved, we finalize design drawings and introduce your project manager, who oversees coordination, communication, and installation.

5. Post-Installation Check-Ins and Maintenance Support

After completion, we check in to ensure everything is performing as expected and provide care guidance. We follow up again at six months and one year to support long-term success.
