A lakefront home should offer clear views of the water, an easily accessed shoreline, and a completely utilized backyard space. Recently, we had a client in Plymouth, Minnesota come to us wanting a custom lakefront landscaping makeover to enhance their backyard space as well as the overlook.

Our landscape team was able to enhance the usable space, add a seating area overlooking the water, and deliver the gorgeous views these homeowners had envisioned.

Our Process:
