What Installation Actually Means
We install planting beds, trees and shrubs, edging, and rock or mulch across the southwest metro — from one bed to a full-yard build, on a written scope. The scope is on paper before a shovel hits the ground, down to the last yard of rock.
One company handles it start to finish: consultation, design, materials, and installation. The plan you approve is the one that gets built.

From Plan to Ground
What's included in an installation.
- Grading and prep. Old turf comes out and the grade gets set so water runs away from the house, not toward it.
- The plantings. Beds cut and planted, trees and shrubs set at the right depth and spacing. Every species is picked for a Minnesota winter.
- Edging and ground cover. Edging set to hold the bed lines, and rock or mulch laid at the right depth.
- A finished yard. Beds planted, edging set, rock and mulch down, debris hauled out.
- Licensed and insured in Minnesota. Certificate available before work begins.
- One point of contact. From first meeting to final walkthrough, with a written scope before work starts.
How It Goes
Four steps, from first estimate to final walkthrough.
-
01
A quick online quote
Send the address and what you have in mind. We quote the property and send the scope in writing, usually within a day.
-
02
We schedule it
You approve the scope, we order the materials and set the dates. You'll know when we start and when we'll be out of your way.
-
03
The build
Grade set, beds cut, plants in, edging down, rock or mulch spread. We clean up before the trailer leaves.
-
04
The walkthrough
We walk the finished yard with you against the written scope. Anything that misses it gets made right within 24 hours.
The Scope
We agree the scope together, then we build exactly that.
Scope is where installation jobs go wrong in this trade. A number gets thrown out, the work starts, and then the extras appear. We do not work that way. Before anything comes out of the truck, you and we agree on the scope in writing — what is included, what is not, and what it costs.
Then we build exactly what was quoted. No hidden fees, no surprise line items, no change orders you did not ask for. If something genuinely changes — you want an extra bed, or we open the ground and find something nobody could have seen — we stop and talk to you first, and you decide before any money moves.
-
Agreed before we start
The scope is written down and you approve it. No handshake guesses.
-
The quote is the price
No hidden fees, no fuel charges, no line items nobody can explain.
-
Changes are your call
If anything changes, we stop and ask. You decide, in writing, first.
We would rather quote it straight and have you call us for the next project than win a few extra dollars on this one.

Your Written Quote
Tell us about the property. We'll put your price in writing.
Installations are priced off the agreed scope, not a formula. We walk it with you, write down exactly what is included, and that is the number. A person reads every one of these, not a queue.
