About Us

OUR VISION

Our team is greater than the sum of the parts. We combine our passions, strengths, experience, and creativity in a positive, supportive and encouraging work environment. This allows us to achieve our goal of always delivering high value for our clients.

Whether it is time spent playing with their kids in the swimming pool, laughing with family around the fire pit, breaking bread with neighbors at an outdoor summer dinner party or simply spending an afternoon alone in the garden unplugged from the world, it is the quality of the time they spend in the great outdoors that motivates us to serve our clients….

CORE VALUES

Humility – its all about our clients. We are conduits through which their dreams become reality in the living spaces of their world. Each client is unique. How we approach every client, and their project, should reflect that basic fact.

Integrity – we do what we say.

Respect – for our clients, their home, their neighborhood, our subs/team, our world.

Knowledge – we are always learning and growing so that we can always deliver the very best of ourselves to our clients/projects.

Patience – in a world obsessed with speed and immediate (and temporary) satisfaction, we promote the value of “measuring twice and cutting once”. Our goal is perfection in every detail and that may take more time but is (in our opinion) always worth the wait.

Growing up in northern/central Minnesota I developed an early appreciation for everything involving the outdoors. Whether it be camping on the superior trail or fishing on the whitefish chain, nothing could stop me from spending my time in what I would call my happy place. When i first started thinking about my career options it only made sense for me to stick with what made me happy and proceed in the landscaping industry. Ten years later I’m still doing what I love most and am determined to create a happy space for our customers to come home to and enjoy as well.

I entered the landscape industry in high-school on a build crew because I love being outdoors. After years of building and planting, I developed a love for the craft of landscape and earned an AAS degree in Landscape Design and Landscape Horticulture from Hennepin Tech; which is where I met my fiance who I will be marrying in June! Getting the opportunity to share the beauty of nature with and create outdoor living spaces for others and seeing them love the end result gives me so much satisfaction.
ERIC KVAM
I have always appreciated nature and being outside. I grew up in Wayzata, MN roaming the streets on bikes, playing sports, and enjoying Lake Minnetonka. From a young age, I would spend my time camping, hiking, fishing, and hunting – all activities I still love to this day.
I was drawn to landscape design so that I could create opportunities for other people to be outside and enjoy nature like I have.
