Hardscape Design and Installation in Lakeville, MN
Custom patios, outdoor kitchens and walls for Lakeville homes and new builds
Full outdoor living design, built by one licensed crew.
Outdoor Spaces for Lakeville Neighborhoods
Lakeville has grown fast, and a lot of that growth left homeowners with a big graded yard and no plan for it. Stonewood Hardscapes & Design fills those blank canvases from Spirit of Brandtjen Farm and Cherryview to the older lakeside streets near Antlers Park and Orchard Lake. We work on both ends of the market here: finishing brand new construction lots that came with bare sod, and rebuilding tired 1990s patios and railroad tie walls that have finally given out.

Local Factors We Plan Around in Lakeville
Vermillion River Buffer Rules
The Vermillion River is a designated trout stream, and the watershed organization enforces buffer and erosion control standards. Projects near it need a grading plan that holds soil in place during construction.
New Construction Fill and Settlement
Newer Lakeville subdivisions often sit on placed fill that has not fully settled. We probe before setting base depth so a patio installed this year still sits flat in five.
HOA and Covenant Review
Many Lakeville developments restrict wall materials, fence lines and structure placement. We match approved product lines and prepare the submittal package your association needs.
Lake Marion and Orchard Lake Shoreland
Shoreland zoning limits impervious coverage and sets structure setbacks from the water. On lakefront lots we design patios and walls to stay inside those numbers.

I honestly can’t say enough good things about Nick and the team at Stonewood Landscaping. We had a really complicated project at our lake home with difficult access, retaining walls, extensive landscaping and a lot of moving parts. Nick made what could have been a very stressful project so much easier. He was always responsive, easy to communicate with and, most importantly, when something came up, he figured it out. I really appreciated that I could trust him to handle things and make sure they were done right. His crew was also amazing—hardworking, respectful of our property and they did beautiful work. After everything that went into this project, I’m so happy with how it turned out. I would recommend Nick and Stonewood without hesitation, especially for a project that is complicated or requires someone who knows what they’re doing. Nick went above and beyond for us and I’m grateful for everything he and his team did. Absolutely 5 stars!Posted on Google![]()

We had a great experience with Stonewood Hardscapes! Mike, Tyler, and the entire crew were so friendly, professional, and prompt during our shoreline and new sand beach project. Our backyard on a hill is now much more functional with a flat sand beach atea and the sturdy stone steps get us down to our beach and dock easily. We are so happy with the final result!Posted on Google![]()

Michael and his crew did a great job with the patio portion of our deck and patio we had put in and rock mulch around the house. Very high quality installation that looks great. This was a combo job with Outdoor Solutions, Inc. that did the deck and they worked together seamlessly to keep things moving. Both companies have great attention to detail and do the little things to really make it nice.Posted on Google![]()

Really liked working with Nick, Tyler and his crew on our Rip Rap project and fire pit area. They were friendly, accommodating and had helpful suggestions. They made quick work of our project and were frequently asking if we were satisfied with the results. Would definitely use them again.Posted on Google![]()

What a fantastic company!! 5 stars only because I can’t give them 6. Mike and his crew reconstructed my failing shoreline with large-boulder rip rap, installed natural stone steps to the water and stone edging to frame the yard, brought in lots of clean fill and topsoil, laid new sod (and watered it for me while I was gone !!) , wired in a lake pump with extra spigot, installed a 2-zone sprinkler system, AND built a little pump house that exactly matches my house to cover the pump assembly. Their work was impeccable and the project was completed on time. They even removed a lot of old material that I no longer needed, saving me some trips to the dump. Mike, Nick, Tyler, Zach, Zach, and Logan are a very hard-working and well-coordinated team…just great guys all-around. I could not be happier with this entire crew or the great job they did.Posted on Google![]()

Stonewood did a wonderful job on our landscaping. The scope of work extended from our house to the shoreline. Mike and Nick adapted our wishes to a difficult environment which included using a barge for the majority of the work. The crews were able to adapt our requests to the natural environment and simultaneously work within the requirements of the local government agencies. Mike and Nick were often on site and kept us informed as the work progressed. The end result is beautiful and we could not be happier. Thank you to the entire Stonewood crew who took our vision and created our spectacular landscape. Shawn & Kristy SchafferPosted on Google![]()

Mike and the great crew at Stonewood Hardscapes designed and installed a beautiful new entry for our home. They cleared out the 30 year old breaking bricks and removed the old overgrown flowers that only bloomed one week out of the summer. They put in new pavers, boulders and a water feature. It looks and feels so refreshed. It’s our favorite place to watch the sunset and listen to the waterfall. The lights add a special and inviting touch. If you want to refresh and renew your entry way give them a call. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Why Lakeville Homeowners Hire Us
New Build Yards Are a Specialty
We take Lakeville lots straight from builder grade sod to a finished patio, wall and planting plan in a single coordinated project.
Design and Install Under One Roof
You approve one plan and one crew builds it, which avoids the gap between a designer’s drawing and what a separate installer will actually do.
Winter Coverage Too
Commercial clients in Lakeville can keep the same contractor year round, moving from summer landscape maintenance into a seasonal snow contract.
Nineteen Seasons of Minnesota Freeze
Since 2007 we have built to survive freeze and thaw, which means proper base depth, drainage and edge restraint on every Lakeville install.

Frequently Asked Questions
A ground level paver patio usually does not require a building permit, but retaining walls over four feet do, and shoreland or floodplain lots have added review. We verify with the city first.
That is a large part of our Lakeville work. We handle final grading, patio and wall installation, irrigation coordination, sod or seed and planting beds as one project.
Cost depends on square footage, paver selection, site access and how much excavation the grade requires. We price each Lakeville project after a site visit and give a written itemized quote.
Yes. We handle riprap, shoreline stabilization and lakeside patios on Lake Marion and Orchard Lake, and we design within shoreland setback and impervious coverage limits.
Winter and early spring bookings get the widest choice of install dates. Summer requests are often scheduled into late season, and fall installs are common and perfectly sound.
