Outdoor Drainage Solutions for Minnetrista's Homes and Businesses
Water shapes life in Minnetrista — from its winding shoreline roads to elevated ridgelines and tree-filled lots. At KG Landscape, we don’t just install drainage systems. Since 2003, we’ve been engineering property-specific solutions that address water flow, prevent damage, and respect the rural beauty of this West Metro community.
Landscaping Service Expertise in Arden Hills, Since 2003
Designed for the Depth and Beauty of Minnetrista’s Landscape
From Halstead Bay to Little Long Lake, Minnetrista properties offer stunning views — and complex water drainage problems. At KG Landscape, we bring decades of experience solving water flow and pooling in your yard issues caused by everything from high water tables to steep terrain.
In areas like Saunders Lake, property owners often face yard drainage problems due to saturated surrounding soil and shallow slopes. We solve these with french drains, surface drainage systems, and by installing a catch basin in key runoff zones. These solutions ensure that water is properly managed before it becomes a threat to structures or landscape health.
Rural roads and long driveways, common in Minnetrista’s estate-style properties, also contribute to concentrated water flow. Our dry creek beds and backfilled trenches keep water moving through natural channels, while sump pump discharge lines prevent it from returning to foundations. Whether you live on a bluff or down near the lakeshore, we calibrate our drainage systems to manage both routine moisture and stormwater surge.
One of the lesser-known challenges in Minnetrista is how wind exposure and minimal natural shade can accelerate soil erosion, especially on south-facing slopes. We account for that by designing drainage systems that incorporate stone features, groundcover, and slope-conscious grading to preserve your terrain and maintain water flow balance.
We’ve also seen how seasonal changes can turn low-lying lawn areas into semi-permanent puddles, especially after spring thaw. To solve this, we layer solutions — often combining surface water redirection with sump pump installation and rain garden placement to reduce standing water and revitalize affected areas.
Commercial properties and large acreage estates benefit from scalable drainage systems that include catch basins, rain gardens, and french drains. These solutions help minimize erosion, support natural water flow, and reduce long-term damage to your property.
Our clients range from homeowners along County Road 15 managing hillside runoff to those near Ox Yoke Lake battling lowland saturation. Every system we design reflects the property's contours, the soil beneath it, and the seasonal patterns Minnetrista knows well.

What Our Clients Say About Our Services
Minnetrista Homeowners Are Asking
What drainage issues are common for lakefront properties in Minnetrista?
Lakefront homes often sit on low or uneven ground with elevated water tables, making drainage more difficult. Storms can cause persistent pooling in your yard or basement seepage. We install gravel filled french drains, sump pumps, and catch basins to manage runoff and protect your foundation, landscaping, and surrounding soil from moisture-related damage.
How do you handle drainage on large rural lots or sloped properties?
Minnetrista's rural properties and rolling terrain demand a tailored approach. We assess slope direction, soil saturation, and water velocity. From regrading and surface drainage installation to building dry creek beds and catch basins, we redirect water away from structures. We also backfill the trench with gravel designed for long-term drainage performance.
Can your systems work with native landscaping or existing wooded areas?
Yes. We specialize in integrating drainage systems into natural environments. Rain gardens, french drains, and sump pump discharge lines are installed with minimal disruption to roots and habitat. Our designs complement Minnetrista's wooded lots and native plantings while improving water flow and reducing long-term water damage to your property.
