Services
Landscaping
Our landscaping services create functional, beautiful outdoor spaces tailored to your property. We handle everything from initial design to final installation, including plant selection, hardscaping elements, and terrain modification. With expertise in both residential and commercial projects, we transform ordinary yards into extraordinary living environments while maintaining ecological balance.
Retaining Walls
We construct durable retaining walls that prevent soil erosion while enhancing property aesthetics. Using materials like natural stone, concrete blocks, and timber, our walls provide structural stability for sloped landscapes. Each project incorporates proper drainage solutions to ensure long-term performance and safety for residential and commercial properties.
Pavers
Our paver installations create lasting outdoor surfaces for patios, driveways, and walkways. We work with concrete, brick, and natural stone materials to create custom patterns that complement your property's architecture. Proper base preparation and edge restraint systems ensure minimal shifting and maintenance requirements over time.
Decks
We build low-maintenance, weather-resistant decks using composite and wood materials. Our designs maximize usable outdoor space while meeting structural safety standards. From initial framing to final finishing touches, we create durable entertainment areas that withstand Minnesota's climate conditions.
Water Features
Our water feature installations include ponds, waterfalls, and decorative fountains that enhance landscape aesthetics. We incorporate proper filtration systems and natural elements to create self-sustaining aquatic environments. Each project balances visual appeal with practical considerations for ongoing maintenance and safety.

Bob and his crew were very friendly and informative. Northland built an upper and lower deck for us and updated a set of steps. Bob tied the look of all of the decks together and they look fantastic. Everyone that comes to our house compliments how they look. Super friendly, and really good at what they do!!

Northland Landscape and Construction removed and built a great deck for us two years ago. The deck they constructed was much better built than the one they replaced. Bob removed and repaired some rotted wood caused by the old deck as well. We had them back last year to repair our chimney and replace our gutters.
Northland has been very responsive. They have listed to our concerns and have been always available. The quality of the construction has been excellent and we couldn't recommend them more highly.

Northland Landscape, Bob and his team do great work. They build our patio/screened room, and deck. I think our house will fall down before the deck does it is built that well. And it is beautiful! Bob and crew also took down a wall and put in flooring in my business-photography studio. Great work, does what he says he's going to do when they say they are going to do it, great quality and easy to work with. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat.

Northland has done repair to our porch, cement work on our steps, replaced our roof and put in pavers for our 150 feet of driveway and entrance steps. We have been very pleased with the work and the personal care taken to be sure we were satisfied with the results. Our basement no longer has leaks! They will be re-landscaping our lawn for our next project. I would readily recommend them for any landscaping, construction and repair needs.
