Local Landscapers in Saint Paul, MN 55109 - Nelco Landscaping

Our landscape design process starts with a thorough site analysis to identify the source of your drainage issue. We then create a custom design that addresses the problem at its root, often through strategic grading to redirect water, incorporating absorbent rain gardens with native plants, or installing subsurface drainage systems like French drains. The design seamlessly blends these functional solutions with aesthetic elements, turning a wet, unusable area into a beautiful and dry part of your landscape.

We tailor solutions to each property, but common features include regrading the lawn to create proper slope away from your home, installing French drain systems to collect and channel groundwater, and designing rain gardens or dry creek beds that manage stormwater naturally. We also use permeable paving materials for patios and walkways to reduce runoff. Every solution is integrated thoughtfully into the overall design to enhance your yard's beauty while solving the water problem.

Absolutely. At Nelco, we believe function and beauty go hand-in-hand. A rain garden, for example, is a vibrant feature filled with colorful, water-tolerant native plants. A dry creek bed can be an attractive, natural-looking focal point. Our designs use these elements as intentional landscape features. The goal is to give you a yard that not only stays dry and healthy but also increases your curb appeal and provides you with more usable, enjoyable outdoor living space.
