We're not all just Gardener's- We're Landscape Experts too!

I have worked in the landscape industry for the past 25 years. From my start in the grounds maintenance department at a local golf course in my hometown, to my career as a certified Landscape Designer and Master Installer, I have always dedicated myself to furthering my education and discipline in the field of horticulture sciences. I worked as a Landscape Contractor for 15 years specializing in high-end residential landscapes with a propensity towards creating a 'Natural Setting'. From watergardens and fountains to patio's and perennial gardens, when considering your next installation project, consider the savings and expertise that your Gardener/Landscape Expert can provide to you.

Landscape Installation Photo Gallery (Natural Settings)

The following are a collection of landscape projects which I had installed during the past several years. Enjoy!!





(Above) This is a picture of a segment of a cascading stream which I created in Darwin MN. The stream cascade down 63 ft into a 35'x45' koi pond which is surrounded by gardens. On this project, we used stumps and logs from the outlying woods. It' very natural.




This cottage garden, (above) is located in Minnetonka Mn. It borders a bluestone walkway which I mortared to the existing concrete sidewalk. The cottage gardens consist mostly of perennials including yarrow, veronica, coral bell's, salvia, delphinium and foxgloves.





The photo above is of a Rocky Mountain theme garden. We utilized Colorado moss-rock boulders and purple leafed Birch trees. (Betula 'Royal Frost') Later, we planted daylily's, coneflowers, daisies and ornamental grasses to complete the look. The raised beds of dirt known as burms, frame a low-spot in the yard, to which, all water drains to create a natural catch-pond in Spring.



(Above) This is a rock garden/ dwarf conifers collection garden which surrounds a raised patio. The garden is edged with Chilton wallstone. The mulch is comprised of 3" river rock cobbles.


(Above) This is a photo of a waterfall setting in peak bloom. Daylily's, coneflower, Ligularia and Astilbe's are all present in this photo.
