Artisan Hardscapes
& Luxury Gardens

Our "freeze-thaw" cycle is tough on hardscapes. We prevent shifting by using deep, compacted gravel bases and proper drainage pipes (drain tile) behind every wall. This ensures water moves away from the structure rather than freezing and pushing it out of alignment.

Yes. Proper grading is the foundation of every landscape. We use laser-leveling to ensure the land slopes away from your home and can install French drains or dry creek beds to manage heavy runoff and protect your basement.

Softscape projects like mulch, rock, or sod installation are often completed in 1–2 days. Larger hardscape projects, such as paver patios or boulder walls, typically take 3–7 days depending on the scope and weather conditions.

Mulch is great for plant health as it retains moisture and adds nutrients back into the soil, but it needs refreshing every 1–2 years. Rock is a "permanent" solution that offers a clean, modern look and doesn't blow away, though it may require a heavy-duty weed barrier underneath.

Most standard patios do not require permits. However, in many West Metro cities, retaining walls over 4 feet tall require engineering and city approval. We can help guide you through the local requirements for Chanhassen, Eden Prairie, and surrounding areas.
