We had bids from other landscaping companies, but our Southview landscape designer was the only one that actually listened. He came back to us with a landscape design that was exactly what we had envisioned. It turned out better than expected!!!

| Minnesota Patio Pointers |
|
| No matter where you live in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, the patio is one of the most important features of your Minnesota yard. So it's important to plan carefully, choose the right materials, and above all, build a compact and secure base before installing pavers, stone, or concrete.
|
 |
| Old-world Patio: Looks like Europe, but it's Minnesota! Concrete pavers like Mega-Bergerac from Belgard® accurately reproduce the historic, European feel of natural stone. |

Natural Flagstone Patio
A suburban yard is transformed from ordinary to outstanding. Skilled installation of flagstone results in a balanced mix of shapes, colors, and sizes. Stones of varying thicknesses must be carefully set, so the patio surface is even and level.

 |
| Lakeshore Paver Patio A patio campfire and multiple living areas are favorite features of this Eden Prairie backyard landscape design. Interlocking concrete paving stones come in a array of colors and patterns. When each stone touches several others it makes the patio strong and prevents shifting. |
|
 |
| Faux Brick Patio: These "Holland" concrete pavers are stronger than clay brick, and less likely to crumble. Still, some people prefer clay for its color and patina. Either way, it's a classic, timeless look. |
|
 |
| Colored Concrete Patio: Stamped colored concrete was used to create this multi-level patio design in Inver Grove Heights Minnesota. The seat wall and fire pit are concrete with stone veneer. |
|
 |
| Northwoods Patio: Cultivating grass between flagstones requires a precise mix of sand and topsoil, and some special care. |
