Our Landscape Construction & Installation Phase

Bringing a sophisticated landscape design to life requires masterful craftsmanship, professional field operations, and absolute efficiency. The construction phase at Beds & Borders Landscape Design, Inc. is led by co-owner Mike Hart and our highly trained, dedicated field crews. Serving homeowners throughout the Twin Cities metro area, including Eden Prairie, Edina, and Bloomington, we treat your property with the utmost respect, maintaining exceptionally clean, organized, and safe job sites from start to finish.

Our crew members are highly skilled professionals, trained to run advanced machinery safely and efficiently without causing unnecessary disruptions to your property or your neighbors. We focus on manageable, highly supervised crew sizes to guarantee personal service and flawless execution. A typical residential installation ranges from one to two weeks depending on structural complexity, ensuring your outdoor transformation moves swiftly from heavy excavation to a beautifully finished retreat.

Our Step-by-Step Landscape Construction Process

We break down our installation phase into clear, systematic stages to ensure structural integrity and long-lasting results for your property:

  • Stage 1: Breaking Ground & Site Preparation – We arrive on schedule to carefully prepare the job site. This involves precise layout marking, turf protection, and calculated excavation or grading to ensure perfect structural foundations and proper water drainage.

  • Stage 2: Building Structural Hardscapes – Our team expertly crafts the hardscape elements of your design. We specialize in chiseled flagstone patios, custom paver outdoor living rooms, functional fire pits, and robust stone retaining walls built to withstand fluctuating Minnesota winters.

  • Stage 3: Implementing Sustainable Softscapes – With the hardscape framework in place, we install the living elements of your landscape. This includes placing premium soil amendments, planting hand-selected trees and shrubs, installing native prairie or rain gardens, and laying clean, vibrant new sod.

  • Stage 4: Thorough Site Clean-Up – Professionalism means leaving your property better than we found it. At the end of every phase and upon project completion, our crew meticulously cleans the entire work site, washing down surfaces and removing all construction debris.

  • Stage 5: Final Walk-Through & Care Consultation – Once the build is complete, our lead designer conducts a personal walk-through with you to review the finished craftsmanship. We discuss ongoing landscape maintenance, proper seasonal watering techniques, and outline our robust warranty and long-term plant care commitments.
