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.

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.

Here's What They Say
We had a great experience working with Bill and his team. Very professional work and the results were outstanding. Added a top level rock wall, modified existing steps to make safer and added more interesting curve and additional level, and replaced old stone walk way with nicely color contrasting pavers. We are very pleased with their work.
We had a dead lawn after we bought the place in winter. Bill came in with his crew, removed the lawn, took out the tree blocking the front of our wonderful home and installed class 5 to store our truck and boat. Fantastic work. I won't go anywhere else for my landscaping needs. On time, responsive, great quality work, great price, nice and professional crew. Got it done in a couple days and it looks great! Could not ask for anything more!
Rare Landscaping turned our backyard into what it was always meant to be - a beautiful patio where we can sit outside and enjoy the beauty of Minnesota. High quality workmanship and a beautiful design that fit perfectly with what we needed for our walkout basement under the deck. We are extremely happy with the finished product - it turned out just like the design that Bill showed us.
We had Bill landscape multiple areas at our home. He did a great job. It was a big project with multiple changes on our part. We looked forward to working with him again on other projects.
Rare Landscapes provided me with a very professional job. The company is highly detailed and the job was finished in a timely matter. The 3d design presented to me gave me much insight as to what was going to happen before they started. I highly recommend Bill.
My wife spent hours reaching out to landscape companies, with Bill from Rare Landscapes being the only person to respond in a timely manner. Once we met with him, we knew he was our guy! We had a complex job that required a lot of coordination and Bill was able to handle it all. I was most impressed with how he turned these huge boulders into a beautiful patio! I gave him the name of "Boulder Ninja". Highly recommend!
