We sort of knew what we had in mind, but couldn’t quite articulate it. We were also a bit worried that our space might be a bit too small to create anything of note. After meeting with us once she put together a design which included a patio, privacy wall, seating area, and all new landscaping that exceeded our expectations. Levi, who performed the work for her did a great job following her design. We couldn’t be more pleased with the results. We would highly recommend her for any outdoor project. **Comment from C. Johnson Landscape Design Group:** > Thank you Greg & Vicki! We appreciated the opportunity to be apart of your backyard transformation! I hope you enjoy lots of relaxing evenings in your new outdoor living space! **★★★★★ — Gail Peterson, Dec. 2017** > Cori was fantastic to work with. She is professional and an excellent communicator. I knew the status of our project the entire time. She also collaborates with clients on the design to make sure you really feel like it reflects you. I’m from Ky and she somehow managed to incorporate a Minnesota hearty magnolia tree into the design! It really was a fantastic experience with great service throughout. She even provided an annual care calendar so we can keep it looking nice for years to come. I recommend her to anyone for any project big or small. **Comment from C. Johnson Landscape Design Group:** > Thank you Gail! I truly enjoyed working with you and getting to know you and your beautiful family. I hope your new outdoor living spaces provides you with a spot to relax and enjoy time with your friends and family for many years to come. **★★★★★ — Robert Schmitt, Nov. 2016** > Cori did a great job for us. We loved the design she presented to us and she delivered on it. Our friends and neighbors have commented on how nice everything looks too! She was also very professional and responsive to our questions and concerns throughout the whole process. We have already recommended her friends and wouldn't hesitate to again. **★★★★★ — Jen Schultz, Oct. 2016** > Cori and the entire team at C. Johnson Landscape Design were amazing! From the very beginning, she listened to our wants/needs and designed accordingly, including finding just the right materials and finishes. I knew what I wanted and JUST wasn't finding it, and she was patient and helpful the entire way until we found the perfect materials. Her crew was hard-working, meticulous, clean, and professional, and got the job done ON TIME (does that ever happen?!). > > Would definitely recommend C. Johnson Landscape Design! **★★★★★ — Meghan D, July 2016** > Cori is very professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. She listened carefully to what we wanted to achieve, accurately prepared us for the steps the project would include, and kept us updated as construction moved along. We couldn't be happier with our experience and the final product. We would definitely work with Cori again. **★★★★★ — Greg, Jan. 2016** > We worked with Cori for our backyard design. Our house was newly built and a complete blank slate. We had saved some plants from our previous house, and Cori worked those well into our new design, along with some new plans. She really listened to what we wanted to use the space for, and came up with a great design. It took us a few years to spread out the big projects between the deck, paver patio, and pergola, but in the end we love our backyard. We did a majority of the work ourselves, as DIY'ers, but I have say, having the professional design, made a HUGE difference and let us focus on building vs what to put where. My wife and I would highly recommend working with Cori and her team. **★★★★★ — karen graber, June 2015** > We are so pleased with the vision, planning and implementation of the renewal for our landscaping. What seemed to us an overwhelming problem, a new plan was completed by an energetic team. Work involved removal of old bushes, rock and edging, improved drainage, installation of new plants, edging and rock within a few days. We intend to continue improvements with the C. Johnson Landscape Design Group next year! **★★★★★ — Sue X, Dec. 2013** > Cori worked with us to plan landscaping for our yard, and she and her subcontractors did the work of clearing unwanted trees and plants and replanting, seeding and sodding. Our project was in the fall, so a few plants didn't make it through the tough winter, but those were replaced when we had our walk through the next summer. Cori was great to work with, very accommodating, knows plants very well, and has a good eye for what will look good. **★★★★★ — troupie1212, Dec. 2013** > We found Cori to be highly professional and extremely well informed. > She is highly dedicated to performing the best possible work for her clients. Cori has provided design, plant and brickwork layout advice. She listens to the client and makes great suggestions while keeping a close eye on budget. We have used her on three occasions and plan to use her again this summer. **★★★★★ — mah1027, May 2013** > We hired Cori Johnson in the Spring of 2012 to completely redesign our backyard to address our drainage issue and our recently constructed garage. We are completely happy from beginning to end with her design and her crew. She listened to our goals (reusing reclaimed pavers and existing plants) yet she created space that we never envisioned. Also, we were very pleased with her cost for this large scale project. We would highly recommend hiring Cori for any landscape project for your home or business. ## Selected projects - [South Minneapolis Traditional Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/south-minneapolis-traditional-patio-pj-vj~2841663) - Location: Minneapolis, MN - Photos: 2 - [Plymouth Split Level Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/plymouth-split-level-patio-pj-vj~2841736) - Location: Plymouth, MN - Photos: 1 - [Outdoor Firepits](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-firepits-pj-vj~2840205) - Location: Plymouth, MN - Photos: 3 - [Church Columbariums & Memorial Gardens](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/church-columbariums-and-memorial-gardens-pj-vj~1355278) - Location: Plymouth, MN - Photos: 13 - [Plymouth Rustic Firepit](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/plymouth-rustic-firepit-pj-vj~2841668) - Location: Plymouth, MN - Photos: 2 - [Edina Outdoor Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/edina-outdoor-kitchen-pj-vj~2841733) - Location: Edina, MN - Photos: 1 - [Long Lake Colorful Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/long-lake-colorful-garden-pj-vj~2841731) - Location: Long Lake, MN - Photos: 1 - [Plymouth Traditional Arbor & Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/plymouth-traditional-arbor-and-patio-pj-vj~2841729) - Location: Plymouth, MN - Photos: 1 - [Roseville Contemporary Planting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/roseville-contemporary-planting-pj-vj~2841728) - Location: Roseville, MN - Photos: 1 - [St. Louis Park Cozy Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/st-louis-park-cozy-patio-pj-vj~2841727) - Location: Saint Louis Park, MN - Photos: 1 - [Greenfield Basalt Water Feature](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/greenfield-basalt-water-feature-pj-vj~2841726) - Location: Greenfield, MN - Photos: 1 - [Cottage Grove Natural Stone Firepit](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cottage-grove-natural-stone-firepit-pj-vj~2841722) - Location: Cottage Grove, MN - Photos: 1 - [Long Lake Rustic Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/long-lake-rustic-garden-pj-vj~2841720) - Location: Long Lake, MN - Photos: 1 - [Minnetonka Cottage Garden](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/minnetonka-cottage-garden-pj-vj~2841718) - Location: Minnetonka, MN - Photos: 1 - [St. Louis Park Front Paver Walk & Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/st-louis-park-front-paver-walk-and-patio-pj-vj~2841708) - Location: Saint Louis Park, MN - Photos: 4 - [Design Work](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/design-work-pj-vj~2841717) - Location: Plymouth, MN - Photos: 3 - [Maple Grove Pool](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/maple-grove-pool-pj-vj~2841714) - Location: Maple Grove, MN - Photos: 1 - [Golden Valley Cedar Deck & Raised Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/golden-valley-cedar-deck-and-raised-patio-pj-vj~2841713) - Location: Golden Valley, MN - Photos: 1 - [Edina Paver Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/edina-paver-patio-pj-vj~2841710) - Location: Edina, MN - Photos: 3 - [Plymouth Paver Patio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/plymouth-paver-patio-pj-vj~2841707) - Location: Plymouth, MN - Photos: 3 [See all 34 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/landscape-contractors/c-johnson-landscape-design-group-pfvwus-pf~1040417956) ## Ideabooks - [Dinning room](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/181035291/list/dinning-room) — 8 ideas - [dry bar](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/171596516/list/dry-bar) — 14 ideas [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/cjohnsonlandscape) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
