In St. Louis Park, most standard patio projects do not require a building permit unless they are elevated or involve structural footings. however, there are strict rules regarding hardcover limits (the percentage of your lot covered by non-porous surfaces). We help you design your space to stay within city code or utilize permeable pavers if needed.
As the "City of Trees," SLP requires specialized fall cleanup. We utilize professional-grade vacuum systems and blowers to remove leaves from your turf, landscape beds, and window wells. This prevents the leaves from matting down and killing your grass over the winter.
Yes. Many SLP lots have poor natural drainage due to their flat topography. We implement French drains and underground downspout extensions to move water away from your home. We can also re-grade portions of the yard to ensure water flows toward the street or city storm drains as intended.
Because of the large canopy of mature trees, we often recommend shade-loving perennials like Hostas, Ferns, Astilbes, and Bleeding Hearts. For shrubs, Hydrangeas and Dogwoods tend to perform very well in the local soil and light conditions.
We use high-quality plow blades with protective edges and place visibility markers along the edges of your drive and landscape beds before the first snow. This ensures our operators can clear snow right to the edge without gouging your asphalt or damaging your turf.
