Minnesota and Wisconsin's short landscaping season creates intense demand from May through June. Contractors book weeks or months in advance for spring installations. Plan ahead—contact landscapers in late winter to secure your spot on spring schedules. Fall is often an excellent alternative with better availability and ideal planting conditions for many species.

Plants in Minnesota and Wisconsin must survive temperatures below -30°F, heavy snow loads, ice storms, and road salt exposure. Many species that thrive elsewhere simply don't survive here. Our landscapers select plants rated for zones 3-4 and position them to minimize winter damage from wind, sun scald, and salt spray.
Much of the Twin Cities metro and surrounding areas sits on heavy clay soil that drains poorly and shifts with freeze-thaw cycles. Poor drainage drowns plants and damages hardscaping. Our landscapers amend soil appropriately, design effective drainage solutions, and select plants that tolerate clay conditions common throughout the region.
Minnesota and Wisconsin's growing season runs roughly May through September—intense but brief. Landscaping projects must be timed carefully around frost dates, and plant selection must account for our limited warm months. Our landscapers maximize seasonal impact and create designs that provide interest across all four seasons.
Native Minnesota and Wisconsin plants offer superior hardiness, lower maintenance, and critical support for local pollinators and wildlife. However, integrating natives into attractive residential landscapes requires design expertise. Our landscapers blend native species with ornamentals to create beautiful, sustainable landscapes that work with our regional ecosystem.
