We design practical, eye-catching outdoor spaces that boost curb appeal, function, and long-term value.
At Lake County Outdoors, we use general landscaping to turn ordinary yards into clean, usable, great-looking outdoor spaces. Whether you want a simple refresh or the first step toward a full dream backyard, we design and build landscapes that fit your home, your routine, and the way you want to use your property.
Our general landscaping service can include site cleanups, grading, plant bed shaping, mulch and rock installation, edging, sod or seeding prep, and overall yard improvement work that helps your property look finished and well cared for. We focus on both appearance and function. That means better drainage, cleaner lines, easier upkeep, and outdoor areas that make more sense for daily living.
We are a full-service landscaping company serving the Minneapolis metro and the wider Twin Cities area. Our team brings 10+ years of combined hands-on experience, and we can take projects far beyond basic landscaping when needed. If your yard calls for bigger improvements, we also handle boulder walls, custom patios, concrete work, tree removal and trimming, and other hardscape features that help tie the whole property together.
For homeowners, general landscaping is often the foundation of a larger outdoor plan. We can help shape front yards for stronger curb appeal, improve backyard layouts for entertaining, and create practical spaces around patios, walkways, and planting areas. Every property is different, so we look at grading, traffic flow, sun exposure, drainage, and long-term maintenance before recommending the right approach.
While landscaping is a core part of what we do in the warmer months, we also want property owners to know that we are actively servicing commercial properties this winter with commercial snow removal and ice management. Many clients value working with one dependable outdoor contractor who understands their site year-round. Our winter services are geared toward commercial accounts and seasonal maintenance agreements, with a strong focus on reliable snow response and safer access during Minnesota weather.
If you are planning landscape improvements and want a team that can handle both outdoor upgrades and winter property support, we are ready to help. Contact Lake County Outdoors to talk through your project goals and get your property on the schedule.
We start with an on-site visit to review your yard, drainage, grading, plant beds, turf areas, and how you want the space to look and function. Then we build a clear scope, realistic timeline, and straightforward estimate so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.
Once approved, we schedule your project and handle the prep work, which may include cleanup, light excavation, trenching, grading, soil installation, mulching, sod, and bed shaping. We install each element in the right order to protect your property, improve drainage, and create a clean, polished finish.
Before we wrap up, we fine-tune edges, levels, and surface cleanup to make sure the landscape looks sharp and performs well. We finish with a walkthrough, answer questions, and review simple upkeep tips so you feel confident in the results and satisfied with the completed job.
Common questions we hear from homeowners and property managers in the Minneapolis metro about landscaping, hardscaping, and winter site care.
We provide full-service general landscaping, from planting beds and grading to boulder walls, custom patios, concrete work, fencing, and tree trimming. We are best known for larger outdoor upgrades and high-end dream backyard projects that add beauty, function, and long-term value to your property.
Yes. We actively service commercial properties this winter with snow plowing, snow hauling, and ice management through seasonal maintenance agreements. If you manage a business, retail site, office, or multi-unit property, we can help keep your site safer, clearer, and more dependable during winter weather.
We do both. Our landscaping and hardscaping services are popular with homeowners who want standout outdoor spaces, while our snow and ice management services are focused on commercial properties. That mix lets us support properties year-round across the Twin Cities metro with practical, experienced service.
For landscaping, we start with a site visit to understand your space, goals, and budget before putting together a clear proposal. For commercial snow removal, we usually work with seasonal agreements based on the site layout, service needs, and winter risk level. That helps avoid surprises later.
Our team brings 10+ years of combined hands-on experience in landscaping, hardscaping, tree work, and winter property care. We are known for taking on complex outdoor projects, communicating clearly, and showing up ready to work. Our goal is simple: do the job right and make your property look its best.
The sooner, the better. Landscaping and hardscaping projects book up fast during the main season, and commercial snow contracts are best set before winter storms arrive. If you want reliable service and a clear plan, now is the right time to contact us and reserve your spot.
