NRD Landscape Design + Build, a residential landscape design and build company serving the Twin Cities Metro Area, has opened its 2027 project planning pipeline as homeowners begin looking ahead to next spring and summer.
For larger landscape projects, the work often starts well before construction begins. Site planning, landscape design, material selections, engineering, permitting, and project scheduling can all take place during the fall and winter months.
NRD encourages homeowners considering a significant outdoor renovation in 2027 to begin the conversation now.
“Some of the best outdoor spaces start with planning months before anyone arrives on site,” said the NRD Landscape Design + Build team. “Starting the design process in fall or winter gives homeowners time to think through the entire property and make thoughtful decisions before construction season begins.”
Landscape Design for the Whole Property
NRD specializes in comprehensive residential landscape design and construction throughout the Twin Cities, with a particular focus on Minneapolis’ western suburbs and the Lake Minnetonka area.
Rather than designing individual features in isolation, the NRD team looks at how the entire property works together. A project may incorporate:
- Patios and outdoor living spaces
- Swimming pools and spas
- Outdoor kitchens
- Fireplaces and fire pits
- Pergolas and decks
- Retaining walls and hillside landscaping
- Driveways and hardscaping
- Trees, plantings and garden areas
- Landscape lighting
- Lakeshore improvements and riprap
- Screen porches and other outdoor structures
The goal is to create a cohesive outdoor environment where architecture, landscaping, gathering spaces and the natural characteristics of the property feel connected.
Twin Cities Landscape Projects Require Advance Planning
Minnesota’s construction season creates a limited window for major outdoor projects. Beginning the landscape design process during fall and winter can help homeowners move through important planning decisions before spring.
Early planning is especially valuable for properties involving pools, structural elements, substantial grading, retaining walls, lakeshore work or multiple outdoor living features.
NRD’s Design + Build approach allows the design team and project management team to coordinate the project from the initial concept through construction.
Planning Outdoor Living Projects for 2027
Homeowners throughout the Twin Cities Metro Area are increasingly treating their landscapes as extensions of the home.
A backyard renovation may include a patio for entertaining, an outdoor kitchen for cooking, a fire feature for cooler evenings, a pool for summer recreation and landscaping that connects each space into one overall design.
By beginning that process now, homeowners have more time to develop a plan that considers how they actually want to use their property.
NRD is currently discussing 2027 landscape design and build projects with homeowners in communities including Minnetonka, Wayzata, Plymouth, Edina, Eden Prairie, Chanhassen and communities surrounding Lake Minnetonka.
The company also considers larger residential landscape projects throughout the greater Twin Cities Metro Area.
