Inver Grove Heights homes
What landscaping in Inver Grove Heights usually involves.
Inver Grove Heights was settled as rolling countryside with wooded land to the west, and it still reads that way: the city runs from the Mississippi River bluffs on the east to established suburban neighborhoods on the west, with a real mix of lot sizes in between. Slopes, trees, and drainage are the three things almost every project here has to deal with.
That suits us. Boulder and segmental retaining walls, grading that moves water where it should go, and planting plans that work under a mature canopy are the core of what we build. On the larger lots, our commercial-grade equipment matters — a long boulder wall or a tree removal is a different job with the right machine on site.
Inver Grove Heights borders Eagan, and most of the city is within ten minutes of our yard on Highway 55.

Built for Inver Grove Heights yards
Three things we plan for here.
Slopes and bluff lots
Grade is the defining feature of Inver Grove Heights yards. We build the walls and terraces that turn a hillside into a usable backyard, with drainage behind every wall and engineering where the height requires it.
Wooded lots
Designing under mature trees means protecting root zones, choosing shade-tolerant plantings, and sometimes removing the one tree that is in the wrong place. Our own tree crew handles that.
Next door to the yard
Inver Grove Heights shares a border with Eagan. Consultations are easy to schedule, and we are around for the walkthrough, the warranty, and the maintenance afterward.

“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 Inver Grove Heights homeowners ask.
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Inver Grove Heights?
Yes, for walls over four feet tall measured from the bottom of the footing — the Minnesota building code requires a permit and an engineered design, and the City of Inver Grove Heights publishes its own retaining wall handout. Many IGH lots need walls at or above that height, so we plan for the permit from the start.
Do you work on large or wooded lots?
That is a large share of our work in the city. Our crews and equipment come from the commercial side of the business, so grading, long boulder walls, and tree work on a big lot are normal for us.
How close are you?
Our yard is on Highway 55 in Eagan, on the Inver Grove Heights border. Most of the city is within ten minutes.
What about drainage toward the house?
It is the first thing we look at on an IGH site walk. Sloped lots send water somewhere, and the design has to decide where before a patio or planting goes in.
