Robby Evans
Owner & Founder
With over a decade of hands-on experience in the Twin Cities commercial and high-end residential landscaping industry, Robby Evans founded FreshWater Landscaping with a singular, uncompromising vision: to elevate outdoor construction standards.
Too many contractors focus purely on the surface-level aesthetics, cutting corners on the sub-grade preparation that actually dictates a landscape's lifespan. We built this company to operate differently. What started as a passion for local conservation and precise arboriculture has grown into a premier West Metro firm known for rigorous structural engineering, agronomic turf science, and "white-glove" customer care.
From meticulously executing ICPI-certified paver foundations that neutralize Minnesota frost heave, to engineering complex drainage solutions that protect your home, we treat every property as if it were our own.
Our Operating Principles
We don't just build landscapes; we engineer permanent outdoor environments. Our entire operation is built on four non-negotiable pillars of excellence.
Agronomic Innovation
We reject "cookie-cutter" lawn care. We utilize advanced soil pathology, EPA-certified treatments, and modern heavy machinery to deliver scientifically proven results for your turf and hardscapes.
Client Partnerships
We are in the relationship business. We guarantee respectful communication, highly transparent project bidding, and a collaborative design process from the initial CAD sketch to the final brick.
Logistical Execution
Your time is incredibly valuable. We pride ourselves on reliable routing, punctual daily arrivals, strict adherence to project deadlines, and maintaining an immaculate, zero-impact job site.
Uncompromising Integrity
We never cut corners on the dirt work you can't see. Our owner-operated quality checks ensure absolute structural integrity in every retaining wall built and every paver perfectly set.
"I got to witness firsthand the absolute excellence and technical workmanship from the FreshWater Landscaping team. They handled every task with precision and care, leaving my yard completely spotless and structurally enhanced."
— Katy Kryzwick, West Metro ResidentJoin the FreshWater Crew
