Outdoor Living Spaces

Transform your outdoor spaces into a sanctuary of comfort and style

 Outdoor Living Spaces In Lake Minnetonka & Surrounding Areas

There are two main elements to a landscape and these are hardscaping and softscaping.  Hardscaping is all of the “hard” man-made elements that can make your landscape such as a driveway, a paver or natural stone patio, a walkway from your driveway to your front door, a retaining wall to hold back a slope, water features, and outdoor structures like decks, gazebos, and pergolas.

Softscaping would be your lawn area, all of your garden beds, hedges, and shrubs, and plantings. Hardscaped areas of your landscaping are usually more expensive and time consuming to complete because of the materials and labor involved but they also have much lower maintenance requirements as they are not "living" like your lawns or gardens.

Rare Landscapes Inc is a landscaping contractor based out of Lake Minnetonka, MN and serving the surrounding areas including Wayzata, Orono, Minnetonka Beach, Deephaven, Greenwood, Shorewood, Excelsior, Tonka Bay, Woodland, Spring Park, Minnetrista, and Medina. We specialize in designing and building hardscapes for both residential and commercial properties of all sizes.  From a beautiful natural stone walkway that winds through your gardens, to an interlocking paver patio for your outdoor living area to a spectacular water fall feature and more, our team can build anything you want out of pavers, natural stone, or landscape block.

Hardscape Installation Services We Offer:

A well designed and constructed hardscape is an integral part of any landscape design.  Your hardscaping provides definition, separation, and organization to the natural areas and features of your landscape.  Hardscape elements define how you use your new space, such as with a driveway that leads a visitor to your home, or a pathway that can lead visitors through different areas of your landscape.  There are so many ways to implement hardscapes into your landscape design.
