Landscaping Projects

What to do with a Sloping Front Yard?

It’s a common issue in the metro area, especially South Minneapolis. See how Urban Tree & Landscape solved this problem for one homeowner.

Natural boulders provide a pleasing irregularity while functioning as a retaining wall.

A scattering of low-maintenance perennials adds visual interest to the grade.

Now mowing the lawn is a quick pass over level ground.

Creative Boundaries

Defining a space and creating privacy doesn’t always mean installing a fence, wall or dense hedge. Sometimes a gentle hint of a boundary is just enough to create the sense of where a space ends and begins.

In this project a subtle installation of boulders and plantings provided just the right amount of definition to suggest a boundary without closing off and reducing the size of the space.

We love working with native materials to achieve a balance between the requirements of the project and the natural harmony of the landscape.

Half-buried boulders appear to have been resting there since time began.

Selected grasses and other low-maintenance perennials add to the yard’s sense of tranquility.

With the selective landscaping we provided for the back yard, the family’s deck is now a scenic overlook.

Throwing a Curve

The graceful, sweeping lines of this patio design softens the stern angles of a South Minneapolis vintage home.

This client requested a design that allowed ample space for grilling and entertaining.

Given the strict rectangular shape of the back yard, we suggested a curvilinear design that would soften up the 90 degree angles.

We also suggested colors that would compliment and accent siding and trim on the existing home.

Included in the design were steps made of pavers arranged in a half-circle radiating from the back door.

The result is a stylish, functional space thats sure to last for many years to come.

From Heaving Deck to Terra Firma

A paver stone patio solves a homeowner’s headache with frost heave once and for all.

To complement the style of the client’s Tudor Revival home—while keeping the budget manageable—we recommended concrete blocks with a distressed, antiqued edge, set in a three-block random pattern.

With their subtle color variations and random pattern, these pavers also lend an Old World appearance.

Pavers set in a half-circle provide a landing for the home’s back door.

TREE TRIMMING PROJECTS

Keeping Trees Beautiful

Commercial properties around the Twin Cities trust Urban Tree & Landscape to keep their trees pruned and healthy.

When it comes to quality tree work, it’s what you don't see that makes all of the difference.

A well-pruned tree blends naturally into the surroundings and contributes to the overall sense of harmony in the landscape.

Our best commercial and residential clients trust us to care for their trees in a way that balances these aesthetic goals with the health and longevity of their trees and shrubs.

Care and Respect for Landmark Oaks

Urban Tree & Landscape delivers meticulous tree trimming services to a vintage Summit Avenue home.

We have been privileged to work on some of the most distinctive and historic properties in the metro area.

As you can see, the majestic oak trees on this property are an absolutely irreplaceable aspect of the property and need to be treated accordingly.

We relish these opportunities and do our utmost to make every cut count.

Cutting to Code

Judicious tree trimming helps an apartment complex conform to fire codes.

This highly valued commercial client called us in when they received notice from the city fire marshal that many of their trees were blocking access in the event of a fire emergency.

At this point we took the initiative to directly communicate with the fire marshal to determine the exact specs that needed to be achieved.

By doing so we saved our client time and hassle while ensuring that no trees were removed unnecessarily.
