Burnsville homes
What landscaping in Burnsville usually involves.
Burnsville sits on a bluff above the Minnesota River, and the grade shows up in its yards: walkouts, terraced backyards, and slopes toward the river valley that need real retaining walls rather than a row of landscape timbers. The city grew from under 3,000 people in 1960 to a built-out suburb by the late 2000s, so the landscapes we see are typically 25 to 50 years old and ready for a second plan.
Our Burnsville work runs from front-entry renovations in the older neighborhoods near the Heart of the City to patios and outdoor living spaces on the larger lots around Crystal Lake and toward Murphy-Hanrehan. Retaining walls, drainage, and plantings that stand up to a bluff-top site are the throughline.
We are about fifteen minutes away on I-35E or Highway 13. We also maintain commercial grounds in Burnsville, which means our crews are already in town most weeks.
About 15 minutes from our Eagan yard.

Built for Burnsville yards
Three things we plan for here.
Bluff and walkout lots
Burnsville's river-bluff geography makes walkout basements and terraced backyards common. We build the walls and stairs that make those yards usable, engineered where the height or the load requires it.
Lake neighborhoods
Properties around Crystal Lake and the smaller lakes come with shoreline considerations and often with older, informal landscapes. We design for the view and for the water rules.
Renovation, not blank slates
Burnsville has been fully built since the late 2000s. We work around mature trees, existing hardscape worth keeping, and neighbors who are close by.

“Of all the companies I called to give me an estimate, Maddi from ProScapes is the ONLY person who followed up with me. She is so conscientious, had great recommendations and took my drawings and turned them into a fabulous reality. Her team was on time, knew exactly what to do and were flexible with my suggestions while on site. They came back a year later to fix a couple of things that didn’t grow back. I recommended them to my neighbors and they too had a very positive experience.”

“We asked them to replace a deteriorating concrete block wall (which we never liked) with a wall of large natural boulders and, if they could, preserve some mature evergreens in the process, and they exceeded expectations. The outcome is beautiful and timeless.”

“ProScapes completed a large landscape/hardscape project for us, and it turned out beautifully. They were very responsive during the design phase and very patient as we worked through several adjustments. The crew was friendly and professional, and they maintained a clean job site. It was clear that the crew took pride in their work and wanted to ensure that we were happy with the end result.”

Our process
Six stages, and you approve before the money moves.
Consultation
A designer walks the property with you, listens to how you actually want to use the space, and flags anything structural — drainage, grade, access — before ideas get expensive.
Site analysis
Soil, sun, drainage, slope, utilities, and existing plant health. This is the stage that separates a design that works from a design that only looks good on paper.
Design
Plan drawings and material selection, with a cost range attached before anyone commits to a full construction set. You see what you’re buying.
Your review
You mark it up. We revise. Nothing gets ordered or scheduled until the plan and the number both have your signature on them.
Installation
Our crews, our equipment. Base photos before anything gets covered, site cleaned to working condition every evening, and a firm end date.
Walkthrough & warranty
We walk the finished work with you, show you how to care for it, and hand over the warranty. Then we’re available for the maintenance if you want it.
Questions
What Burnsville homeowners ask.
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Burnsville?
Under the Minnesota building code, walls over four feet (bottom of footing to top of wall) need a building permit and an engineered design. The City of Burnsville reviews those. Walls near the river bluff or in a shoreland zone can have additional requirements. We pull the permit and handle the inspection.
Do you work on lakeshore properties?
Yes. Shoreland lots around Crystal Lake and the other Burnsville lakes have rules about vegetation and impervious surface near the water, and we design within them. If a plan needs a variance, we tell you up front.
How far is Burnsville from your yard?
About fifteen minutes from Eagan, by I-35E or Highway 13. We run commercial maintenance routes in Burnsville already, so getting a crew to a residential project is routine.
Can you handle a steep backyard?
That is a large share of what we do in Burnsville. The usual answer is a wall or two to create terraces, a stair, drainage behind every wall, and planting on the slopes that remain. The design stage tells you what it costs before anything is built.
