Professional Landscaping Solutions for St. Paul's Historic Properties


Something magical happens when history meets horticulture. St. Paul's neighborhoods weren't built by accident - they were planned by visionaries who understood that great cities need great landscapes. From the railroad barons who lined Summit Avenue with mansions to the immigrants who planted victory gardens in Frogtown, this city has always appreciated the power of thoughtful outdoor design.


Working in Minnesota's capital means respecting layers of history while serving contemporary needs. A Crocus Hill Victorian might need modern irrigation hidden beneath heritage roses. A new construction in Highland Park requires plantings that mature gracefully alongside established oak trees. Each project becomes a dialogue between past and present, creating landscapes that feel both timeless and refreshingly current.


Our professional landscaping team has spent decades learning St. Paul's unique character - how Mississippi River moisture affects plant selection, why certain neighborhoods favor formal gardens while others embrace prairie naturalism, how to work around century-old root systems while installing twenty-first century outdoor kitchens. This knowledge shapes every design decision, ensuring your landscape enhancement honors both your property's potential and your neighborhood's distinctive personality.


St. Paul's commitment to preservation doesn't mean standing still. The city's most successful landscapes evolve thoughtfully, adding contemporary functionality without sacrificing historic charm. Our quality landscaping services reflect this philosophy, creating outdoor environments that serve active families while maintaining the architectural integrity that makes St. Paul neighborhoods so enduringly appealing. Whether restoring a heritage garden or designing fresh outdoor space, we ensure every installation contributes positively to the community fabric that makes this capital city special.



Climate considerations unique to river valley settings influence every decision we make. Mississippi River moisture creates growing opportunities for plants that struggle elsewhere, while bluff exposure requires wind-resistant selections that maintain their beauty through Minnesota's demanding seasons. Understanding these environmental factors allows us to create landscapes that thrive naturally while supporting the diverse wildlife that makes St. Paul neighborhoods feel connected to the broader natural world that defines Minnesota's character.

"The fact that Kent took time to discuss and weigh in on my issue AND give me options to consider that wouldn’t result in business for him shows a high level of integrity that is hard to find these days. If you are dealing with yard drainage issues I highly recommend calling KG Landscape."
