What landscaping in Mendota Heights usually involves.
Mendota Heights grew fastest in the 1950s and has stayed small on purpose — under 12,000 residents on generous lots, with a tree canopy that has had seventy years to mature. The landscapes here are often the best in the south metro, and the projects are correspondingly careful: a front entry that matches the architecture, a terrace that sits properly in the grade, plantings chosen by someone who knows what will thrive under oaks.
That is the work we like. Fine gardening and bed care for established plantings, hardscape built to a standard that fits the house, and the kind of design that is more about editing than adding. Our maintenance crews are the right fit for a property where the plantings were chosen deliberately and need to be cared for the same way.
Mendota Heights is about ten minutes from our yard, straight up Highway 55.
About 10 minutes from our Eagan yard.

Built for Mendota Heights yards
Three things we plan for here.
Fine gardening for established landscapes
Mature plantings need gardeners who can identify what is growing before they prune it. Species-correct pruning, dividing, and editing — not shearing.
Designing under a canopy
Seventy-year-old oaks and maples are the reason the neighborhoods look the way they do. We design around root zones and choose plantings that thrive in shade.
Hardscape that fits the house
Natural stone walks, bluestone terraces, and walls built to a standard that matches the architecture. We photograph the base before it is covered so you know it was built right.

“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 Mendota Heights homeowners ask.
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Mendota Heights?
Under the Minnesota building code, walls over four feet tall (from the bottom of the footing) need a building permit and an engineered design, reviewed by the City of Mendota Heights. Projects near the river bluff or wetlands can have additional review. We handle the permit as part of the job.
Do you do fine gardening, or only construction?
Both. Fine gardening and bed care is one of our residential maintenance programs, and Mendota Heights properties with established plantings are exactly where it earns its keep.
How close are you?
About ten minutes. Our yard is on Highway 55 in Eagan, so Mendota Heights is one of the easiest places for us to serve well.
Can you work with natural stone?
Yes — natural stone walks, steps, bluestone terraces, and boulder walls are all in-house work. We will tell you honestly where natural stone is worth the cost and where a well-chosen paver does the job.
