Behind the work

A Design-First
Approach, Led Personally From Start to Finish

Rare Landscapes is led by Will Archuleta, who works directly with homeowners to design and build outdoor spaces that feel intentional, personal, and connected to the home.

At Rare Landscapes, an outdoor space should be as intentional and finely crafted as the interior of the home itself. Will specializes in elite, full-service outdoor living design, turning high-end residential properties in Mound, MN and near Lake Minnetonka into bespoke, resort-style outdoor spaces.

That work spans architectural hardscaping, custom pools, curated botanical design, and outdoor kitchens, all planned together instead of built piece by piece. The goal isn't just to change a yard. It's to change how a homeowner lives in it.

Great outdoor spaces start with a clear design, not a guess.

What makes us different

What Makes Rare Landscapes
Different

  • Founder-led

    Will Archuleta is personally involved in every project, from the first consultation to the final walkthrough.

  • Design-first process

    Your full outdoor living space is planned before a single material is ordered.

  • 3D design

    See layout, materials, and structures before committing to a build.

  • Whole-property planning

    Patios, pools, kitchens, and landscaping are designed together, not layered on over time.

  • Premium craftsmanship

    Work built for high-end residential properties, not standard tract landscaping.
