Landscaping

At Dakota Turf, landscaping is about more than making a property look nice. It is about creating an outdoor space that feels inviting, works well, and adds lasting value. We help property owners, managers, and select homeowners across the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro turn plain or worn-out grounds into clean, attractive, and functional landscapes. Whether you need a fresh install for a new build, an upgrade to outdated beds, or a full site improvement plan, we bring the experience, crew, and communication to get it done right.

We are a full-service property maintenance company based in Farmington, and our team brings 30 years of combined hands-on experience. Over the years, we have grown from a two-person operation into a 20-person team that serves commercial properties, HOAs, apartment buildings, office sites, retail centers, industrial properties, and select residential projects. Our focus has always been the same: build long-term relationships, communicate clearly, and deliver quality work that holds up.

What our landscaping service includes

Our landscaping work is tailored to the property, the goals of the customer, and the conditions of the site. We handle both new landscape installations and renovations of existing outdoor spaces. Depending on your project, our landscaping service may include:

  • Landscape design planning and layout

  • Removal of old or overgrown landscape materials

  • Grading and site preparation

  • Soil improvement and planting bed preparation

  • Sod installation and lawn establishment

  • Seeding for new lawn areas

  • Planting of shrubs, ornamental grasses, and other landscape plants

  • Mulch or rock installation for clean, finished beds

  • Edging for a neat and defined appearance

  • Property enhancements that improve curb appeal and usability

  • Coordination with hardscape and drainage improvements when needed

Because we also offer hardscapes and drainage services, we can look at the full picture of your property instead of treating one issue at a time. That matters when a landscape project needs retaining walls, paver areas, better water control, or grading corrections to protect the investment.

Who we serve

We primarily work with commercial customers, including property managers and owners of retail centers, strip malls, office buildings, warehouses, factories, apartment complexes, and HOA communities. These properties need landscaping that looks professional, stays manageable, and supports a positive first impression for tenants, customers, and visitors.

We also take on select residential landscaping projects, especially installs, drainage solutions, retaining walls, and outdoor upgrades where an experienced team is important. If you are a homeowner looking to improve your yard, we can help you create a space that is easier to maintain and more enjoyable to use.

Our process

One reason customers choose us is simple: we communicate well and respond quickly. We know landscaping projects can feel overwhelming if you do not know what comes next. Our process is built to keep things clear from start to finish.

  1. Consultation: We start by learning about your property, your goals, your timeline, and your budget.

  2. Site review: We evaluate existing conditions like slope, drainage, access, sun exposure, and the current state of turf and planting areas.

  3. Recommendations: We provide practical ideas based on what will work best for the site, not just what looks good on paper.

  4. Project planning: We outline the scope of work so you understand what is included and how the project will move forward.

  5. Installation: Our crew completes the work with attention to detail, jobsite care, and quality workmanship.

  6. Final walkthrough: We review the completed project with you and make sure expectations were met.

Our goal is not to push a one-time job. We want to earn your trust and become the team you call whenever your property needs expert outdoor work.

Benefits of professional landscaping

Good landscaping does more than improve appearance. It can make a property easier to manage, safer to navigate, and more valuable over time. A well-planned landscape can help:

  • Boost curb appeal and create a stronger first impression

  • Improve tenant, customer, and visitor experience

  • Support property value and marketability

  • Reduce bare spots, washed-out areas, and messy transitions

  • Create cleaner lines and a more polished look around buildings

  • Make outdoor areas more usable and better organized

  • Pair with drainage solutions to help protect turf, beds, and structures

For commercial properties, professional landscaping can also support your brand image. Clean, well-kept grounds show people that the property is cared for. For homeowners, it creates an outdoor space you can enjoy and feel proud of every time you pull into the driveway.

Why experience matters

Every landscaping site is different. Soil conditions, water flow, sun, shade, traffic, and property use all affect the final result. With decades of experience in the Twin Cities metro area, we understand how to build landscapes that fit local conditions and real-world use. We have worked on everything from business properties that need durable, professional curb appeal to residential installations that need a more custom look and feel.

We are also fully insured, and we take pride in doing quality work the right way. Our reputation has been built on customer satisfaction, responsive service, and consistent results. That is how we have grown from a small local operation into a trusted landscaping company serving Farmington, Lakeville, Rosemount, Apple Valley, Burnsville, Savage, Prior Lake, Shakopee, Chaska, Chanhassen, Eden Prairie, Bloomington, Eagan, Hastings, Hampton, Inver Grove Heights, Mendota Heights, Richfield, Edina, St. Louis Park, Northfield, Elko New Market, Lonsdale, Minneapolis, and St. Paul.

Landscaping that fits your property

No two properties need the exact same landscape plan. A retail center may need clean entry beds, strong curb appeal, and low-maintenance materials. An apartment community may need updates that improve common areas and resident experience. A homeowner may want a complete yard transformation with new sod, bed lines, plantings, and landscape features. We tailor each project to the needs of the site and the goals of the customer.

If your project also involves runoff problems, poor grading, or standing water, we can address those issues as part of the plan. If you want to add structure and function with walls, edging, or other built features, our hardscape services can be brought into the project as well. That means fewer headaches and a more complete result.
