In Orono, the landscape is an extension of the home’s architecture. Our landscape designs focus on high-format materials like natural bluestone, limestone, and premium pavers. From expansive multi-level patios on Lafayette Bay to grand natural stone stairways leading to the water, we build with a focus on timeless elegance and structural permanence.

We utilize lake-safe, phosphorus-free fertilization to protect Lake Minnetonka while ensuring your turf is golf-course quality. From Navarre to Casco Point, we provide the meticulous attention to detail your property deserves.
Orono homeowners must navigate strict environmental regulations. We are experts in Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) and DNR standards for shoreline stabilization. Whether you need rip-rap installation to prevent erosion on Stubbs Bay or advanced drainage correction for a hilly lot, we provide engineered solutions that protect the lake and your investment.

FreshWater Landscaping is the premier choice for Orono homeowners who demand excellence in craftsmanship and environmental stewardship.
Most shoreline projects in Orono fall under the jurisdiction of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) and the DNR. These regulations govern everything from the types of stone used for rip-rap to the width of native plant buffers. We handle the technical design and permitting support to ensure your project is fully compliant with local environmental laws.
Orono has strict limits on "hardcover" (impermeable surfaces like standard concrete or roofs). To help homeowners build the outdoor spaces they want while staying within legal limits, we often recommend Permeable Paver Systems. These allow water to soak through the joints, which often doesn't count against your hardcover totals in the same way standard surfaces do.
Yes. We use phosphorus-free, lake-safe fertilizers for all our Orono maintenance clients. We also implement strict application buffers to ensure no product reaches the water, preventing algae blooms and protecting the aquatic ecosystem of our local bays.
Absolutely. Many Orono estates have significant wooded acreage where invasive Buckthorn has taken over. We provide professional clearing, herbicide stump treatment to prevent regrowth, and native restoration planting to return your woods to a healthy, beautiful state.
We perform pre-season site audits for all our Orono snow clients, marking obstacles and placing protective stakes. We use specialized equipment with poly-blades that clear snow without scratching or pitting expensive natural stone or paver driveways, and we only use paver-safe de-icing agents.
