They were the most professional and on time company we have worked with. Both areas turned out beautiful. The entire neighborhood talks about our front patio and it is now the meeting area for many neighborhood gatherings. Thanks Mom's for the great work. We'll be calling again for our next project. **Comment from Mom's Design Build:** > Thank you! Glad to hear you and the neighborhood enjoy your patio and the fireplace. Great space to enjoy with friends and family. ### All 49 reviews **★★★★★ — Allstar Construction, May 2025** > unbelievably professional & on time! Design capabilities exceeded our expectations. The team was very respectful of our space and privacy while a very large project went on. Thanks again! **★★★★★ — sbveldman, Feb. 2025** > Moms remolded our backyard pool and outdoor kitchen. We had an excellent team lead by Becca and Tony. They did such a beautiful job ! Our family loves to spend time in our new space. I am very happy with my decision to choose Moms and I continue to work with their landscaping department they also do beautiful work. **Comment from Mom's Design Build:** > Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had a great experience with us. **★★★★★ — Renee Wiggins, Jan. 2025** > I partnered with Mom’s and the results far exceeded my expectations! They thought of design and function elements that I hadn’t even considered. I highly recommend working with Owen – he is incredibly creative, has deep expertise, and is very ethical. Plus he is just a great guy! We’ve loved working with Mom’s! **★★★★★ — Cheryl, Oct. 2023** > An unusual large side yard was made useful thanks to Mom’s Design and Build. It took them 6 days to transform a weeded grassland into a picture perfect Japanese Garden. It has a rock path, a gorgeous patio and many sitting rocks. And the trees and plants are glorious. The team was very professional and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend this wonderful company. **★★★★ — Jessie Mash, April 2023** > Thanks for your continued support in our yard, and showing up to do the job correctly. Thanks a lot. **★★★★★ — Roy Krengel, June 2022** > Had a great experience with Mom’s Design Build! We built our dream home and needed a matching dream yard, and Mom’s stepped up. Great people and great work! Highly recommend! **★★★★★ — Michael Thelander, July 2019** > We had Mom's design and build our backyard retreat, complete with a complete outdoor kitchen and bar with pizza oven, pergola, fireplace, gas fire pit, putting green, chipping spot with landing green, and landscaping. Mom's also redid our 3 season porch and built a staircase to get down to the backyard from the main floor of our house. They did a great job and the pictures speak for themselves. > > We started the project back in the summer of 2016 and then did it in three main phases, starting with the fireplace and then going from there. The pergola came last since at first I didn't think I wanted one, but I later discovered that it was vital to deal with the heat and rain, which can otherwise dampen a party. > > I highly recommend Mom's for their artistic capabilities and for their follow-on commitment. We've had a few minor issues since completing the work and Mom's has been superb in making sure that everything is the way it should be. You generally don't find contractors who are so willing to make things right, but at least for us Mom's excelled in that area. **Comment from Mom's Design Build:** > Mike, we are so happy with the way your space turned out! I hope you spend most of your time out there enjoying it! You were an excellent client to work with and we are glad that we got to know you well throughout the process. Thank you for your kind words, we are grateful for you! **★★★★★ — HU-88028203, July 2019** > Our most recent experience with Mom’s Design Build involved a major spring clean-up plus the replacement of a tree and warranty work involving a retaining wall. The designer who planned our original landscaping design consulted with us on picking a tree that would fit well into the current space. The maintenance crew did a great job getting our property ready for summer and the guys who worked on the retaining wall did a good job diagnosing the problem and finding a solution. We have been very happy with our collaboration with Mom’s over the past five years and look forward to working with them in the future. **Comment from Mom's Design Build:** > Thank you so much for your kind words! We appreciate you for being a valued customer and continuing to choose Mom's for your projects! **★★★★★ — Todd Dokken, June 2019** > I was very satisfied with the work done for me by Mom's Design Build, especially their work on building 2 retaining walls on my property which turned out great. Their crews are very conscientious and work very hard. The only potential negative is scheduling since Mom's is busy and in demand. **Comment from Mom's Design Build:** > Todd, we are so happy to hear that you are satisfied with our work! We appreciate having amazing clients like yourself! **★★★★★ — Mark & Cheryl Patterson, June 2019** > Loved working with these guys. Jim, Becca, Alexis, and all the hands-on guys were creative, hard-working, they listened, and most of all, they delivered. Great follow-up after a hard winter getting some plants replaced. Couldn't ask for a better experience. Highly recommend! **Comment from Mom's Design Build:** > Cheryl and Mark, we had a blast working with the two of you! I hope you are enjoying your amazing space. We are grateful for knowing you and helping to create a unique space for your backyard! **★★★★★ — Carolyn Luken, June 2019** > Mom’s Design solved our water distribution problem. They developed an excellent design for our back yard that was artistically designed so that it maximized the space and made it beautiful and useful. The crew was wonderful. Working to complete project on time, answering all questions and cleaning up after themselves each and every day. We would recommend their design and work to anyone interested in landscaping design. **Comment from Mom's Design Build:** > Carolyn, we are so glad we could make your dreams a reality! Thank you for the kind words. We are grateful to have worked with the most amazing clients, including you :) **★★★★ — amyhwehr, July 2018** > Moms Design Build transformed our back patio space. Our new patio more than doubled our entertaining space. We now have a beautiful blue stone patio and some low buckskin retaining walls built into our hill to allow for a fountain. We added a pergola on one half of the patio which has a lovely swooped retractable shade to provide UV protection. The pergola design, selection of stone, and plantings are beautiful. Neighbors and friends refer to our patio as a mini arboretum! We even love just looking out the windows at our peaceful, sophisticated new space! **★★★★★ — Anne Bauers, June 2017** > We hired Stephen Kung with Mom's to design and install a garden and patio in a small urban space underneath our deck. He maximized the space - this tiny former mulch patch is now a beautiful urban oasis where we enjoy sitting. The project was delivered on time and on budget. We paid $10K. **★★★★★ — Rick Dahl, Dec. 2016** > Our first project with Mom's Landscaping and Design was a total backyard redo in 2007 with a swimming pool, pond, fire pit and fireplace, new deck, and beautiful landscaping. Mom's has provided pond maintenance for us since then. We have been extremely happy with the results of this project. We spend a lot of time enjoying the space and consistently receive compliments from visitors. > > In 2014 Mom's landscaped the front of our house, with beautiful new plantings, a boulder bubbler, a front entry walk with stone pavers and a stone paver driveway apron. Mom's also improved our site drainage with the addition of gutters and downspouts directing water runoff into an underground tile system which discharges away from the house. > > Throughout the years we've turned to Mom's for on-going outdoor needs, such as tree replacement and arborist services. We value their advice and never feel that they push too hard to sell their services. This year Mom's even did our Christmas decorations. > > After meeting with a few other landscapers in 2007, we're glad we chose Mom's. They are consistently professional, fun, clean, courteous, visionary, and excellent communicators. **★★★★★ — Beth Hannan, Dec. 2016** > Stephen designed a beautiful contemporary garden that reflected the architecture of our house as well as our style. He and his team transformed our entire boring city lot within our budget, schedule and kept our neighbors happy too. They were a dream to work with and we are enjoying the results thoroughly! **★★★★★ — Melissa Seeley, Dec. 2016** > We have done multiple projects with Mom's Landscaping & Design at 2 different houses. They are always very professional and personal. They took the time to get to know me and my family so they could provide us with personalized service. They did a great job listening to our needs and came up with creative ideas throughout the process. **★★★★★ — joshmn, Nov. 2016** > Mom's Landscaping & Design has an outstanding design team with a great eye for detail. They also have a very strong vision for what to do with outdoor space and how to use it. Most importantly, they have the team to execute that vision as well. **★★★★★ — Charlie & Lisa Feldbaum, Nov. 2016** > I have used Mom's landscaping for many years and each year have been more impressed and pleased with the service and products. This year, with the addition of Stephen to your staff, the creativity and expertise is over the top. We did a major overhaul to our entire yard this year with Stephen's help and are thrilled with the outcome. I will always recommend Mom's and wish them continued success. Many thanks. **★★★★★ — nguyentrudi, Nov. 2016** > Heather and her team at Mom's Landscaping did a fantastic job. This was the third time around trying to create a dog friendly environment with a charming cottage feel. They did exactly this. We installed artificial turf in the backyard which was extremely dog friendly however with clever natural plantings that made the artificial turf seem very natural. The front landscaping was exactly the cottage feel that I was hoping for. I have never received so many compliments on my landscaping. Leah and team from the garden maintenance side of Mom's maintained the beautiful landscaping throughout the season. **★★★★★ — dabbas54, Nov. 2016** > We had a great experience! They were on-time with all their work and did a fabulous job with our project. Becca Bastyr took the time to listen to what we wanted and what our vision was, which is very important to us. **★★★★★ — jdefrang, Nov. 2016** > As a result of our neighbor's positive comments using Mom's Landscaping for their deck and patio projects, we decided to choose Mom's to completely refresh our front landscaping. Becoming more excited by the landscape suggestions, we decided to add a new driveway with a patio paver apron and sidewalk. By adding bluestone to our front steps with decorative risers, our 1999 home looks fresh and new. Mom's offered excellent recommendations while listing to our suggestions. The project was completed on time, the crew was respectful and made sure the project area was clean at the end of the day. > > We highly recommend Mom's Landscaping for your next landscape project. > > Jeff & Ruth Ann **★★★★★ — User, Nov. 2016** > I love the creativity that Jim and his team brought to my project. The balance of color as we transition through each season is exactly what I was looking for. **★★★★★ — gsebald93, Aug. 2016** > Moms landscaping did a paver /patio project for me recently. > The project turned out great and Craig was very helpful and resource full in the design and construction. His crew had been with him 17 years and were perfectionists in laying the pavers. They completed the job in short order and spend a lot of time cleaning up after the > project was over. There are other landscapers around, but I think I hired the best. > His price was very fair and the project turned out better than expected. > I would hire them again ,in a minute. > Greg Sebald > Jordan,Mn **Comment from Mom's Design Build:** > Thanks Greg! We hope you are enjoying your new patio. **★★★★★ — nneson, April 2016** > Creativity, craftsmanship, and attention to detail were the reasons Charlson Meadows looked to Mom's for our landscaping needs. Becca Bastyr understood our mission of providing outdoor spaces that nurture and inspire. She worked her magic during the design stage and remained fully engaged during construction. Becca is incredibly talented and saw things we couldn't imagine. > > My favorite element is the use of gas lanterns throughout the property. They provide a soft glow in the evening and cheer you on a cloudy day. Or maybe it's the plantings themselves. In season, it seems something is always blooming. The basalt columns and stonework are exquisite. We love the sound of the aspens, watching the rain flow through the rain chains, and are grateful for conversations that happen as people gather around the cozy fire pit. Mom's Landscaping connected our guests with nature and their surroundings. > > The entire company is a joy to work with - from the early design stage through completion, and now with our weekly seasonal maintenance. We highly recommend Mom's to anyone who asks and welcome an opportunity to work with them on future projects. **Comment from Mom's Design Build:** > Thank you for your generous words. We are grateful for the opportunity to have worked on this project and the relationship we have built with you. We are glad you and your guests enjoy all the wonderful outdoor spaces. **★★★★★ — cor6333, Jan. 2016** > multi-month project to create a "stay-cation" in our own yard - very creative landscape designer but also able to incorporate our own design element ideas - very responsive, friendly, knowledgeable - excellent craftsmanship on the part of people doing various parts of the installation - have continued to use their services for maintenance and other installations **Comment from Mom's Design Build:** > We wanted to thank you for your kind words and it was a pleasure working with you. I hope you enjoy your tranquil water feature for years to come. **★★★★★ — susanlacek, Jan. 2016** > We worked with Heather & Jim and their team who created an beautiful backyard for our new home, which was the 2015 ASID MN Showcase Home. It was a very complex project which needed to be completed in an accelerated timeline and their team delivered an amazing result. The space truly reflects our style, right down to incorporating mini palm trees (in MN!) into our preference for a "Caribbean style" backyard. They also worked with us to help find unique outdoor furnishings (a large circular bed swing) and other items such an in-ground trampoline for our gymnast daughter. After the project was completed, they followed up with us to make sure we had everything we needed to use, care for and winterize the backyard. We are so pleased with their services that we will continue to work with them for yard maintenance and holiday decorating as well. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a high-caliber landscaper to create a wonderful outdoor space. **Comment from Mom's Design Build:** > We are glad you enjoy your wonderful coastal landscaping. It's such a wonderful space for you and your family to entertain. I'm sure the girls will enjoy the pool and the trampoline for years to come. **★★★★★ — bretttm, Jan. 2016** > I loved working with Mom's and would recommend them to anyone! My designer was Heather; she was creative, respectful, and extremely patient. She put up with the numerous changes and was understanding of my needs. She was able to ensure that we not only stayed within our specified budget but was also able to complete the project three weeks early! > > Thanks to Heather, and the Mom's Crew we have an amazing backyard to complement our pool. **★★★★★ — Bullis Photography, Dec. 2015** > Mom's Landscaping stands out as one of the most impressive companies I have had the pleasure of working with. It's easy to see why they are the chosen landscape contractor for large scale luxury projects. Mom's Landscaping produces high end and high impact results for their clients. They spend great time and attention on every detail of their projects- and most importantly, their client relationships. As a small business owner myself, I understand the value of relationships in a professional setting. Mom's Landscaping makes relationships a priority and isn't satisfied until their customer's are. **Comment from Mom's Design Build:** > Thank you Justin. We had a great experience working with you on a couple of projects. You do amazing work and you were open to our ideas and even helped sweep leaves! Looking forward to working with you again. **★★★★★ — K, Dec. 2015** > We hired Mom's to do a complete overhaul of our outdoor landscaping and they did an amazing job. Some of the things included in our project were an outdoor kitchen with pergola, a fireplace, and a front sitting area with fountain. Not only is their workmanship top notch but their customer service is unparalleled. I worked with Becca Bastyr who was our designer and she was available whenever I needed her. I'd usually get a response within the hour to a question. In fact if it took an hour that would be unusually long. She and her team have an excellent attitude and are ready to tackle any challenge thrown at them. **★★★★★ — Tom Sweeney, Dec. 2015** > I was privileged to help Mom's Landscaping & Design enter several of its luxury landscapes in the 2015 NARI Contractor of the Year (CotY) awards program. Four Mom's projects received NARI-MN CotY Awards for excellence in design and construction: Taunton, Casby, Grieve and Andersen (all featured on Houzz). Mom's earned so many NARI awards at the annual gala, it was named Best Newcomer. A few weeks later, the Minnesota Nursery and Landscape Association gave Mom's two 2016 Landscape Awards for its Andersen and Lacek projects. Well deserved. **Comment from Mom's Design Build:** > Thank you for all your hard work on the NARI Contractor of the Year (CotY) awards program. Not only did we win the 2015 NARI-MN CotY awards for four projects, we won 2016 NARI-Regional awards for three projects and now waiting to hear if we won 2016 NARI-National CotY awards which they are announcing soon! **★★★★★ — Deborah Tomczyk, Dec. 2015** > As a Master Gardener, I was delighted to work with Mom's designer and appreciated the professional work done by the landscapers. I'm not always ready to listen to recommendations, but working with Becca was easy. She listened to me, knew what I wanted, and provided great advice as well as a wonderful design. Better yet, the plants and trees thrived during an incredibly cold winter, and the "upkeep" was minimal; both more important to me as each birthday goes by! > The backyard design required some movement of heavy equipment to bring in block and stone. The work was done quickly, and any repair to the sod or gardens was done immediately and perfectly. So glad we worked with them. **★★★★★ — blueheronsoap, Dec. 2015** > We asked Becca from Mom's Landscaping to help us transform our back yard. We got exactly what we wanted, and we were thrilled with the timely manner in which the job was done, and with the final results. We plan to work with them again in the coming years to make further improvements over time. This was well worth the investment! **★★★★★ — tpoul2, Dec. 2015** > Mom's Landscaping is amazing! The quality of the work, product knowledge and overall professionalism is unparalleled. We have had Mom's landscape our entire yeard (including the installation of a sportcourt) and could not be happier with results. I highly recommend their work.... > > TOM **Comment from Mom's Design Build:** > Thank you! We hope your kids and their friends are having fun playing hockey and basketball on the new sport court. Enjoy your new outdoor kitchen and amazing fireplace on your deck as well. **★★★★★ — jenniferhoff12, Dec. 2015** > I hired Heather Grossmann to design my courtyard. It turned out even more amazing than I could have imagined. Heather and her team were very professional and easy to work with...everything went very smooth with the project. Mom's is the best!!! **★★★★★ — Angela Warner, Dec. 2015** > I have known the Mom's landscaping crew for years and they are top notch! They are organized and talented, and I would recommend them to my friends, family, and also my clients! **★★★★★ — casbym1, Dec. 2015** > Excellent design team who listened to our needs and followed through with a beautiful design for our poolhouse and surrounding landscape. **Comment from Mom's Design Build:** > We hope you are enjoying your amazing award winning backyard. Enjoy the endless entertaining you can have with the pool and poolhouse. **★★★★★ — sconsoer, March 2015** > The landscapes are creative and simply beautiful. Working with their designer and installation crew was enjoyable... great communication through out the process and they handle everything seamlessly. **Comment from Mom's Design Build:** > We are excited that you enjoy your beautiful outdoor space. I'm sure it's nice to be able to use the front and backyard areas to entertain. **★★★★★ — Scott Grieve, Feb. 2015** > Designed and built our outdoor living space that included a beautiful pavilion. From start to finish Mom's delivered the highest quality and service! We couldn't have been happier with the finished project! **★★★★★ — jageiger, Dec. 2013** > We had a great experience working with Mom's Landscaping and Design. They integrated natural stone stairs and paths into our existing retaining wall hill side. The area is now functional and beautiful! We needed the project completed before the ground froze and they worked to get the design and construction completed on time. Our designer/project manager made sure we were happy every step of the way. Communications were prompt and complete. It was a pleasure to work with the construction crew. They took the time to listen to our ideas and adjusted as needed. **★★★★★ — User, Nov. 2013** > Jim Sweeney and his uber talented design staff have the ability to reimagine a space elevating its beauty and use far beyond what a client might have considered. Unlike many companies in their field, they consider the entire landscape (including the face of the house itself) as the canvas for a project. They incorporate innovative techniques and equipment I never knew were available. I'm an architectural photographer who has had the privilege to shoot several of their projects. **Comment from Mom's Design Build:** > Thank you Steve. You are a very talented photographer and have taken amazing photos of our projects and we get many remarks on them. **★★★★★ — saramurray, Oct. 2013** > Bob Wallace and his team at Mom's Landscaping did a wonderful job on our backyard remodel project. We met with Bob and described what we were looking for to improve our backyard space and make it much more enjoyable. Bob and his team went way beyond to provide us with exactly what we wanted and more. Bob was always there to help trouble shoot if needed too as we are both busy professionals. We now have this amazing and beautiful backyard where we can enjoy our stone fireplace and outdoor grill/eating area. We've gotten many compliments from firends and passersby about our outdoor space. We were so impressed with Bob and his company, that we brought him back to help us design and build an unique outdoor playhouse for our children. It turned out better than imagined and the kids absolutely love it! Thank you, Bob! **★★★★★ — njhburke, Oct. 2013** > We had a great experience working with Bellawood builders. The planning process was comfortable & relaxed. The communication was great through the entire process. We knew when and where everything was happening. **★★★★★ — ORIJIN STONE, LLC, Oct. 2013** > BellaWood Builders provide an incredible service. Their designs are thoughtful and out of the ordinary; tailored to each individual client. Their craftsmanship is top notch as well! **★★★★★ — brianmtburke, Oct. 2013** > Bob and Mom's Landscaping have done exceptional work at our house. Bob carefully listens to our needs, and then delivers on a solution that meets those needs. His responsive is tremendous, even offering to come to our house at 7:00 A.M. one morning when we had an immediate project question. I would highly recommend Mom's Landscaping, and specifically working with Bob Wallace. **★★★★★ — dennissakstrup, April 2013** > Bob Wallace brought his client to show them garden ornaments to fit his design plan. He listented to his clients input, made suggestions and placed an order. He was very professional and as a vendor the type person I like to have as a customer. Bob Wallace and Bellawood are a credit to our industry. **★★★★★ — balllen, March 2013** > We worked with Bob on a project two summers ago and worked again with him last summer. I really liked the design ideas he brought forward. He incorporated our initial ideas into the plan and then built upon them. Throughtout the project his follow up and communication were excellant. We really enjoyed working with him **★★★★★ — danboldt, March 2013** > I had the privilege of working with BelllaWood on an outdoor landscaping project last summer. As a home technology integrator you find often that builders think of our work as an after thought, what was so refreshing about BellaWood and Bob Wallace was that they fully included our team in their process. We had full access to the plans, could ask for any accommodations needed on site and all the support to make sure we ended up with a successful project for the client. We look forward to any project that they are involved in knowing it will be a smooth process! **★★★★★ — Rick Fischer, March 2013** > As a fence and railing contractor we have worked with many builders over the years. Working on home remodel projects with Bellawood has been a great experience. From the preconstruction meet to the completion, the communication, attention to details, workmanship and the crews make this company a first class operation.

One inspired by the other, Neighborhood Commons are versatile landscape designs both complete with a hot tub, outdoor kitchen station, dining area, wood-burning firepit, and TV lounge for game nights. Both families prioritized open lawn space between their homes for their kids to play, blending their yards into one shared destinatio… - [Heart of Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/heart-of-home-pj-vj~7704269) - Location: Prior Lake, MN - Photos: 27 - Description: Built in 1992, this lakeside home was ready for a full renovation to match its scenic setting and the demands of modern living. The original layout felt dated and inefficient, so the remodel opened the space by replacing a pantry closet with a sleek pantry cabinet and adding a large window above the sink to flood the kitchen with light and views. An oversized closet became a stylish wet bar and butler’s pantry in rich alder, now a walk-through between the dining and living areas. Warm white oak… - [Starry Sips & Scenes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/starry-sips-and-scenes-pj-vj~7704256) - Location: Chaska, MN - Photos: 29 - Description: Starry Sips & Scenes transformed a once bare, unfinished basement into a luxury multi-use retreat.

They sought a more accessible, open, and modernized space. To address their needs, we installed a curb-less shower in a new location for easy, trip-free access, allowing for a seamless transition into the shower area. A new washer and dryer were integrated into the bathroom design for added convenience, neatly tucked behind a sliding door to maximize space. The homeowners a… - [Modern Mood](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-mood-pj-vj~7522693) - Location: Eden Prairie, MN - Photos: 20 - Description: The homeowners, residing in a 1990s home, sought to update their primary bathroom to create a fresh, open space that still felt warm and cozy. The existing layout presented several challenges, including an undesirable first view of the toilet as you entered the room. They also wanted to reconfigure the tub and enlarge the shower for a more functional and luxurious experience. Additionally, the current vanity placement caused problems, as the door would frequently collide with someone using the s… - [Azure Grand](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/azure-grand-pj-vj~7518137) - Location: Edina, MN - Photos: 42 - Description: In the transformative backyard redesign, we reimagined the space to elevate both relaxation and functionality. The new, larger pool is now perfectly centered on the upper deck and a hot tub has been integrated into the lower deck, taking place of a former staircase. To maximize seating and flow, we relocated the second flight of stairs, opening the area for additional seating, and a large luxurious bed swing on the lower-level deck now offers a serene spot for relaxation and views of the pool. T… - [Magnolia Vista](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/magnolia-vista-pj-vj~7515054) - Location: Lake Elmo, MN - Photos: 8 - Description: The Magnolia Vista project involved working with wonderful clients in a new development with minimal established trees. The main goal was to create a comfortable and private outdoor space, ideal for entertaining. A pergola was designed to provide comfort overhead while allowing natural light to filter through the windows into the adjacent space. Additionally, a look-through wall was strategically placed to beautifully frame a magnolia tree beyond, adding to the overall aesthetic and ambiance of… - [Beau's Forever Bloom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beau-s-forever-bloom-pj-vj~7515013) - Location: Excelsior, MN - Photos: 13 - Description: This memorial garden is a tribute to a beloved son, friend, and brother who tragically passed away from a fatal overdose. The garden is intended to be a serene and uplifting space where friends and family can come to reflect and remember him. This garden’s purpose is to celebrate Beau’s life and personality, offering comfort and peace without focusing heavily on the aspect of loss. - [Garden Grandeur](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/garden-grandeur-pj-vj~7503966) - Location: Saint Paul, MN - Photos: 21 - Description: Garden Grandeur started from scratch as a bare, boring backyard with zero design elements. The homeowners dreamt of having an ultimate gathering spot, perfect to host their family and large circle of friends. The project transformed the entire space into an ultimate hangout space featuring a cohesive design with a pool, retaining wall, patio, and fire pit, all connected by clear pathways that enhance both functionality and flow. The use of natural stone and warm tones ensured a timeless and eleg… - [Lakeside Leisure](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakeside-leisure-pj-vj~7503922) - Location: Prior Lake, MN - Photos: 25 - Description: The \#LakesideLeisure Project was a comprehensive redesign of a lakefront property that transformed various challenges into stunning solutions. Initially, the property featured a small, high-maintenance cedar deck with minimal lake views, poorly placed stairs, limited flat yard space due to extensive tiered landscaping and excessive plantings, obstructed lake views, and privacy concerns from a neighboring home. The client’s vision was clear: they wanted a large, flat yard for family activities an… - [Urban Oasis](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/urban-oasis-pj-vj~7482835) - Location: Saint Paul, MN - Photos: 16 - Description: The homeowners, having recently moved into their new home in the heart of St. Paul, were dissatisfied with the state of their backyard and sought to transform it into a private oasis. Our client cherished childhood memories of spending time with her family on a porch, so bringing that nostalgia to life for her own family was important to her. To achieve this, the project included the construction of a beautiful 3 and 1/2 season porch addition, which the client preferred over their initial idea o… - [Serene Shores](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/serene-shores-pj-vj~7473646) - Location: Prior Lake, MN - Photos: 24 - Description: The homeowners were building a new home and wanted to incorporate a beautiful lakeside landscape design. The design was constrained by several factors, including lakeshore setbacks that limited development towards the lake and impacted sideyards, as well as strict impervious surface restrictions that limited installation options. To address these challenges, steppers and 3-foot pathways with planting beds were used to create connection spaces without affecting lot coverage. Despite these restric… - [Hearth Hideaway](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hearth-hideaway-pj-vj~7473640) - Location: Edina, MN - Photos: 11 - Description: This project transformed a basic builder-grade deck and unlandscaped yard into a beautifully designed outdoor living space.

The landscaping was enhanced with a patio and a gas fire pit seating area, perfect for… - [Orono Overlook](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/orono-overlook-pj-vj~7333366) - Location: Shorewood, MN - Photos: 18 - Description: The clients built this new home on Lake Minnetonka and hoped for a relaxing space for their family & friends. Loving the Minimalist & Zen style, they wanted to use timeless and quality materials in the space and have the design speak to group entertaining. It was important that the whole space felt open and connected yet very thoughtful with the design elements. Major hardcover restraints had to be followed on this lakeshore property, which lead to creative carpentry and wall placements to make… - [Colonial Portico](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/colonial-portico-pj-vj~7333377) - Location: Edina, MN - Photos: 8 - Description: The clients purchased the home about 15 years ago and never knew what to do with the porch addition off the back of the home. In addition to being a general eye sore and cutting off a large portion of their small back yard, it was always a little damp, smelly, and not very well arranged. This also impeded access to the back yard by forcing passage through a secondary space. The size of the porch restricted light into the home which they did not like. The at-grade cedar deck was a maintenance nig… - [Classy Cavern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classy-cavern-pj-vj~7314867) - Location: Eden Prairie, MN - Photos: 18 [See all 101 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/design-build-firms/mom-s-design-build-pfvwus-pf~814439951) ## Video - [Company video](https://player.vimeo.com/external/1008975805.m3u8?s=562a90e9ccfd6fc7cdbbce0413049048e5b461a9&oauth2_token_id=1384357804) ## Frequently Asked Questions **Do you manage permitting and approvals?** As a licensed design-build firm and general contractor, we absolutely manage all necessary permitting and approvals for your project.
