Exclusive Lakefront Landscaping Service Mastery in Orono Since 2003

Professional Landscaping Solutions for Orono's Lakefront Properties


Twenty years ago, we fell in love with Orono's impossible combination: the serenity of Lake Minnetonka paired with the sophistication of Minnesota's most discerning homeowners. Here, ancient glacial soils meet modern luxury living, creating landscaping puzzles that standard suburban approaches simply can't solve. Sandy lakefront areas drain fast while clay deposits hold water - sometimes on the same property. It's the kind of challenge that makes our work endlessly fascinating.


Shoreland ordinances aren't obstacles here; they're guardrails that protect what makes Orono special. When you're designing around hundred-year-old oaks and navigating setback requirements, creativity becomes essential. We've learned that the most stunning lakefront landscapes work with these constraints, not against them. Native plantings that naturally filter stormwater, retaining walls that look like they've always been part of the shoreline, drainage systems that disappear into the natural landscape.


Every Orono property tells its own story. Some clients inherit grand estates with mature landscaping that needs thoughtful updating. Others start fresh on raw lakefront lots where every decision shapes the next fifty years. What they share is an appreciation for quality that shows - and lasts. Our professional landscaping approach reflects this commitment, whether we're installing a single specimen tree or redesigning an entire lakefront estate.



The seasonal rhythm of Lake Minnetonka life influences everything we do. Spring flooding gives way to summer entertaining, autumn colors transition to winter's stark beauty. Your landscape needs to be gorgeous in July and structurally sound in January. Our quality landscaping services have evolved to serve this demanding cycle, creating outdoor spaces that enhance lakefront living through every Minnesota season while protecting your significant investment in paradise.

What Our Clients Say About Our Services

"...The crew was extremely efficient, hard working, and conscientious. They clearly took pride in their work and the quality of the installations was top notch. I am particularly satisfied with the job they did on the grading of the entire backyard - we had some big concerns about drainage and they addressed them all."

~Ryan L.

"The crew was very fast, efficient, and considered every detail. We are already enjoying entertaining on the patio and can't wait to see how the trees and plants mature to give the yard more privacy and a lush landscape. We love our new outdoor space and would highly recommend KG."

~Sarah M.

"Kent was wonderful to work with. We wanted a low-maintenance landscape design for our triplex's front yard, which still looked nice. He listened to our needs and came up with a great design. Our front yard now has a clean and sharp look with the best shrubs for our needs."

~Drew H.
