Home and Garden Expos 2016
For the first time in our company’s history, we are attending some Home and Garden Expos in the Twin Cities area! We are really focused this spring on bringing in more clients so we can make more people enjoy their outdoor spaces. One way we will expand our reach is by visiting Landscape Shows and meeting more people face to face. So keep reading to see what we’re doing for our booth and when the expos are!
Which expos will KG Landscape be attending?
The first expo on our travel list is the North Metro Home & Garden Show
in Blaine. This is our “hometown” show since our shop is about 5 minutes from the venue. It’s also a nice warm-up for the really large show we’ll be going to at the end of February.
The North Metro Home & Garden Show will take place at the National Sports Center on February 6, 2016 from 10am to 3pm. Be sure to find us! We’ll be at booth #305.
The other show we will be attending is the BIG ONE. It’s the Minneapolis Home & Garden Show
at the Minneapolis Convention Center. Again, we’ve never attended the show as an exhibitor before but we are super excited about it. We love showing off why we are the best choice for landscape design and installation in Minneapolis and St. Paul and what better place than the biggest landscape show in Minnesota? Also, The Property Brothers (Jonathon and Drew Scott) will be visiting the show so you have no excuse not to come say hi to us there.
Friday, February 26 – 10am to 9pm
Saturday, February 27 – 9am to 9pm
Sunday February 28 – 9am to 9pm
Friday, March 4 – 10am to 9pm
Saturday, March 5 – 9am to 9pm ****The Property Brothers will be on stage at 1pm. They’re cool so come and see them and say hi to us.
Sunday, March 6 – 9am to 6pm
What will our booth look like?
The main feature of the booth will be a wooden trellis/arbor made out of premium cedar wood. This was hand built by our Account Manager, Russell. The trellis will be a huge focal point to attract possible clients to our booth. It also shows off the handcrafted furniture and care that we take for all of our outdoor living space projects that we do. We will also hang a couple designs and a tv off the trellis to show off more of the pictures and videos we have taken recently.
The other main piece to our booth will be a cedar bar also hand built and custom designed by Russell. We did not want just a regular draped table and we would prefer to be on our feet. It adds a more casual, welcoming atmosphere that we want to portray. Again, it also shows our handcrafted and detailed care. We will be distributing bottle openers to visitors to our booth as well to add to that vibe. The design for this bar was taken as inspiration from the planter boxes we have done in the past.
Come see us at the Shows this spring!

The legendary architect Louis Sullivan coined a phrase that has driven architecture and design ever since: "form follows function." While aesthetics are critical to buildings and landscapes alike, that physical beauty must always remain secondary to the fundamentals of good design. In Shoreview, Minnesota, just outside St. Paul , we encountered a landscape where, unfortunately, function followed form. Here, the realities and principles of effective drainage were downstream of their original builder's aesthetic choices. That meant water from snowmelt and rainfall was streaming into parts of the lawn where it wasn't meant to be. The standing water that had been allowed to collect in the back and side yards was putting a considerable amount of the property out of play. In order to reclaim usable space and rethink the way the land handled water, this Shoreview homeowner entrusted KG Landscape with identifying key issues, presenting potential solutions, and doing the necessary work the client decided upon to restore their lawn.
On the shores of Lake Minnetonka, perhaps the most famous of Minnesota's 10,000 lakes, an Orono, Minnesota homeowner was struggling with a back yard that was becoming more marsh than yard. The yard was a scenic one. The back porch opened up to the top of a small hill, which rolled down toward the lakefront and the boathouse. This flat space between the hill and the water would be ideal for backyard barbecues, some low-stakes games of bocce and badminton, or simply a spot to lay down a towel and get some summer reading done. Instead, this area was too waterlogged to enjoy. The runoff from the hilltop combined with unfavorable soil composition were limiting the use of the yard, closing off space while even diminishing the quality of the turf. How would this homeowner be able to reclaim this unusable land without disrupting the Lake Minnetonka shoreline that made the property so attractive? To find a solution, they turned to KG Landscape.
