Landscape Design Landscaping MN
Completed 2024
Two neighboring families in the same community transformed their backyards into connected retreats, each with its own flair yet designed to flow seamlessly together. One inspired by the other, Neighborhood Commons are versatile landscape designs both complete with a hot tub, outdoor kitchen station, dining area, wood-burning firepit, and TV lounge for game nights. Both families prioritized open lawn space between their homes for their kids to play, blending their yards into one shared destination for the neighborhood to come relax and make memories together.
“This project beautifully delivers on the vision of an inviting, multifunctional outdoor living space. The design balances comfort, entertainment, and style while addressing significant site challenges with smart engineering solutions. The integration of features—pizza oven, hot tub, fire table, and pergola-covered firepit—creates a true destination for family and friends.” – NARI’s comments on Neighbor B’s project
“[Mom’s] was so incredible – they took everything that we were asking for and made it so much more beautiful. They communicated with the entire neighborhood and set expectations and had a certain level of professionalism. As we started talking about the plan and the timeline, the level of communication and follow-through really set the whole team apart, the leadership team and crews alike. The whole experience was first class.”
