2019 (Project in Construction- SW Minneapolis). After much research and going through the process of interviewing and getting proposals with all of the top companies to find the best for both quality of work and price, we contracted with Outdoor Innovations. Our experience to date has been everything you want it to be- in terms of communication, follow through and execution. See pictures of the project from before, to underway beginning August 21. We will update experience and project pictures through completion. The proof will be in the project, and we expect it to be nothing short of spectacular

My husband and I have now used Outdoor Innovations twice!!! The first job was complete landscaping around our backyard oasis and in ground pool. It turned out beautiful. So there wasn't any question of who we would use when we purchased our lake home and needed a complete landscape makeover. Craig listened carefully to my "vision" and he and his phenomenal crews made my dream a reality! Again, the result was nothing short of spectacular!!!! Every one of the crews from demo to final touches were professional, always on time, respectful of property (clean up every single night before they left),

We worked with Outdoor Innovations adding a pool to our sloped yard last spring. I can't say enough about what a great experience this was, Asher helped us translate our vague idea into a vision and a plan. The project moved along smoothly and on schedule. Asher worked with us where we wanted changes and did a great job communicating. All of the people we dealt with on their crews were very professional and friendly. We were bowled over by how great the project turned out! I will add pictures after we finish a few touches around the edges this year. I highly recommend Outdoor Innovations. You

Outdoor Innovations is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to landscaping design! They provide an honest, reasonable quote and created a master plan for us so we can take that off the honey-do list!
