Minnehaha Falls Landscaping repaired my falling-down retaining wall, which was leaning over the sidewalk after many years of frost heave and wet ground. They listened to my concerns that this section of wall be super-stabilized because of worry over rising groundwater and reused the existing blocks, removing most of the wall to put in a new foundation.

The crew was friendly, explained what they were doing and worked hard and long at a heavy and difficult job. The repaired wall is perfectly straight and level. I've hired many contractors but Minnehaha stood out for their communication, promptness and work quality. Recommended!

Minnehaha Falls Landscaping created a comprehensive landscaping plan for our property, including removal of old overgrown shrubs and planting a variety of shrubs and flowers suited to our shaded property. They also added some rock features and a nice slate garden path and rain garden. These guys are great, I highly recommend them. Services: Sod installation, Yard work

Russ and his team were magnificent to work with. We like to think of our home and yard as a work of art. Russ was able to guide us with education and suggestions to create a yard that is environmentally friendly and beautiful in our eyes. The team is hardworking, knowledgeable and friendly. The wall reminded me of the Egyptian Pyramids. Each piece laid surgically and beautifully. Environmentally friendly piece of Art! We couldn't be more pleased! Kathryn and Amy

We approached Minnehaha Landscaping wanting a patio and a landscape plan. We worked with Tom Kerby, their landscape architect. Our instruction to Tom was whatever you come up with make it look like it has always been there. Tom hit it out of the park! We thoroughly enjoyed working with Tom and his team.

Russ and his crew helped us remove our traditional front yard and convert it it a grass-free landscape using native plants. Russ took our suggestions about what we wanted and designed the landscape using some of our existing plants, and incorporating additional new natives. The crew was great - punctual, neat, and responsive to our suggestions along the way.

We are thrilled with our new front yard space and look forward to watching it grow in the spring and happy to have established a bird and bee friendly space for years to come. We would recommend them to anyone interested in going native.

Minnehaha Falls Landscaping desinged and built a patio, garden and small beach at our home. They cleared the overgrown buffer zone and decided where the patio would be placed. Then they designed the landscaping and planted it. The people who worked in the yard were professional, polite and funny. They did a great job with the entire project. We spent many hours relaxing on our new patio surrounded by beautiful flowers. We highly recommend them for your yard projects.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Very hostile man. He bullies people and is very rude. The value is not worth what you get. Plants don't last. Inflated pricing. Refuse to back purchases. Service: Repair water fixtures

Russ and Chesney have a unique view on landscaping as their primary focus is creating healthy environments for people, pets, and wildlife. Their team is hardworking, they have great communication and they are dedicated to their work, this I'm sure of. I would highly recommend MFL for anything from weekly lawn mows, all the way up to a complete landscape overhaul.

I met Russ Henry last spring at a Healthy Soils class in St. Louis Park. I was so impressed with his knowledge and ability to share an abundance of useful information in a 2 hour class! Our yard and lawn had been greatly in need of TLC, so I made an appointment for a consult. Once again, Russ provided a wealth of helpful information in 1 hr this time!

He was so professional, kind, understanding, and helpful. My husband and I decided to contract with his company for our lawn health care this summer. In only two applications, our lawn has never looked better! It's finally getting the nutrients it needs for optimum growth. It's not the artificial-looking thick carpet grass that is the result of toxic chemicals.

It is simply green with some patches of clover left intentionally for the bees, just like grass should look! The products are pure, organic, and bursting with nutrients for the soil, plants, and probably the whole environment! Every aspect of this company is stellar. The employees are respectful, professional, and have great follow-though. We will continue to work with Russ and his company, and encourage anyone reading this to call and get on the service schedule. You will be soooo happy you did!

Chesney and Russ have an incredible landscaping business focused on creating healthy environments for all. Their chemical free focus and natural approaches to benefit nature are so appreciated - and needed. Thank you for all you do.

I am giving four stars for my experience in the past with the retail garden center mostly so I can point out that the garden center is no longer open. It looks like they still do landscaping but I'll miss the plants they sold and being able to stop by a neighborhood store to pick up a gift. I'm really going to miss this place.

We are returning customers because we love the wall, patio, stoop & pavers path they installed 12 years ago. This year we added to the patio and added a grill pad off the path. They did another beautiful job. They are professionals that care about their customers and the quality of the work. After all the work was done, they cleaned up everything. There was nothing for us to do but enjoy the results. I recommend Minnehaha Falls Landscape highly. They are my go-to company! Thank you Tom, Angel, Juan and Paulino!

I have met at least 3 employees in working with this group. Fantastic knowledge and love of improving the Earth. I look forward to their planting two more trees for us too!

Big box hydrangeas didn't survive the winter, but these did! Worth the extra bucks to get MN climatized plants. Also very friendly helpful staff and decent selection of native prairie plants.

Friendly neighborhood nursery with good selection. The prices are more expensive than a big box store but it's a great place for smaller shopping trips or specialty plants.
