Twin Cities Landscaping Trends

Every year brings new ideas in landscaping, but the best trends are the ones that combine beauty with function — especially in Minnesota, where we want to maximize every minute outside.

Here are the top Twin Cities landscaping and hardscaping trends we’re seeing right now:

Raised patios

Raised paver patios help:

• level sloped yards

• create steps and tiers

• add seating walls
  They also pair naturally with retaining walls and built-in lighting.

Turf-grid systems

Turf grids combine concrete or pavers with grass, creating:

• modern driveways

• parking pads

• erosion-resistant walkways

Natural stone + pavers together

Mixing textures creates a custom, high-end feel.

Integrated lighting

Low-voltage lights add:

• safety

• curb appeal

• nighttime usability
