Resolve Drainage Problems Before They Spread

When lawns stay soggy, planting beds erode, or patios never fully dry out, it affects how you enjoy your property and its long-term value. Standing water and poor drainage slowly undermine soil health and hardscape stability. With a complete outdoor living partner, you gain guidance from custom site measurement and interactive design through installation and long-term maintenance. Because nearly all phases happen in-house, results stay consistent from concept to completion. A seasoned team, operating since 1978 with decades of shared knowledge, manages every stage under clearly defined standards. Advanced communication between design, construction, and maintenance teams ensures that your yard functions beautifully and remains resilient through Minnesota’s seasonal challenges.

“Southview made me feel like I was a top priority. Excellent service and attention to details.”

Although my project was small, Southview made me feel like I was a top priority. Excellent service and attention to details. I was given great ideas from my designer and felt comfortable adjusting those plans before the project began and even shortly into it. The project team proved professional and highly skilled! Well done! I can recommend them highly without reservation.

“The landscape crews were friendly, hard working, skilled and took great pride in their work.”

After searching for five years, we finally found a landscape company to help design and implement a landscape project in front of our home and alongside our driveway. Southview developed the perfect plan to accompany the design of our home and our location along the river bluffs. The landscape crews were friendly, hard working, skilled and took great pride in their work. The project supervisor and design manager worked together during the installation. They did not hesitate to tweak, and improve the design without additional cost. We were totally satisfied with all the facets of the project. We got what we paid for and Southview Design was very appreciative of the business opportunity.

“We have worked with other landscaping outfits in the past but none have displayed the quality and expertise of Southview Design.”

Southview Design recently installed a rain garden at our home in Edina to help with water run-off and the process was flawless from start to finish. The overall design, placement, planting and rock arrangement were well thought-out. The crew was polite, hardworking and when done, made sure that the area was cleaned-up when they left.

We have worked with other landscaping outfits in the past but none have displayed the quality and expertise of Southview Design. We will continue working with Southview Design on other land/hard scape and drainage needs in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone.
