Southview Design is a landscaping contractor with a hard-earned reputation for excellence in landscape architecture and design, construction, and landscape care. Since 1978, we've completed over 8,500 landscaping projects in Minneapolis, St. Paul, the Twin Cities area, and western Wisconsin. 

Your Landscape Design and Construction Partner

Our designers and project managers bring years of landscape design and construction expertise to the dining room table – helping you create a uniquely personal space that fits your values, budget, personality, and lifestyle.

Some of our projects are award-winning landscapes that have been featured in magazine articles. But most of our work is more modest, and that's fine with us. We've made a lot of people really happy by solving drainage problems, building beautiful patios and driveways, and designing comfortable, relaxing outdoor rooms.
