BEE LAWN SPECIAL | Contact us TODAY about BEE FRIENDLY LAWNS
St. Paul’s older neighborhoods, including Mac-Groveland, Highland Park, Merriam Park, and the East Side, come with their own set of landscaping challenges. Many homes sit on heavy clay soils that drain poorly, have established tree roots that limit planting options, and aging hardscapes that weren’t built with drainage in mind. Add in Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles, spring flooding, and hot summers, and the stakes for getting the design right from the start are high.
As a Twin Cities landscaping company, Minnehaha Falls Landscaping provides landscaping services in St. Paul, MN, built around local conditions and long-term performance. Our team focuses on practical design, durable construction, and organic-forward practices that support healthier soil, stronger plant growth, and outdoor spaces that hold up in Minnesota’s climate, season after season.

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!

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

St. Paul's heavy clay soils, established tree canopies, and freeze-thaw cycles directly affect design and installation choices.
