Oak & Stone Landscaping | Trusted Landscaping in Excelsior, MN

Poor grading is a common issue in our area that can lead to water pooling and lawn disease. Our landscape design process begins with a detailed site analysis to identify low spots and water flow. We then incorporate strategic grading and contouring into the overall design, ensuring water is directed away from your home's foundation and into appropriate drainage solutions. This foundational step, part of our landscaping building design, creates a healthy base for your new lawn and plantings, preventing future issues.

Absolutely. Overwatering is a major contributor to lawn fungus in our climate. Our custom irrigation design services go beyond basic sprinkler placement. We design zones based on sun exposure, soil type, and plant needs to deliver the right amount of water at the optimal time of day (typically early morning). This precise, efficient approach promotes deep root growth and allows grass to dry properly, creating a stronger lawn that's more resistant to common fungal diseases in the Excelsior area.

Our comprehensive design services are the blueprint for a successful, lasting landscape. We start by listening to your vision and assessing your property's specific conditions, including any existing issues like drainage. The process includes concept plans, detailed construction drawings, and material selections—all tailored to Excelsior's environment. This cohesive plan seamlessly integrates hardscaping, planting, grading, and irrigation, ensuring every element works together to solve problems and create a beautiful, functional outdoor living space for your family.
