Passing boaters can’t help admiring this luxurious John Kraemer & Sons home on Lake Minnetonka. This modern shoreline landscape design complements the sophisticated architecture and transforms the rugged property into a serene and verdant setting. Glacial boulder walls control the grade and create comfortable gathering spaces. Minimalist concrete steps connect the house and the water. Stormwater was redirected away from the lake into dry wells. Waves from wind and passing boats crash into tons of rip rap – rock that protects the shoreline from erosion.
The luxurious outdoor living space for this new lakeside home includes a spectacular swimming pool, outdoor kitchen, massive retaining walls, and shoreline construction.

Repairing erosion was a priority. The shrinking shoreline was 417 feet of grass and mud.
Fieldstone rip-rap was installed below the high water line to protect the shoreline.
The setback from the lake is 75 feet. Local sand was used to level low spots and prevent flooding.

This complex shoreline restoration project was honored with a 2021 Award of Excellence from the National Association of Landscape Professionals. Repairing the erosion damage at the shoreline was a priority. It was 417.5 feet of a spongy combination of grass and mud. The once straight shoreline had been carved out by winter ice and summer boat wakes. We worked with the state's DNR and Army Corps of Engineers for appropriate landscape construction permits. The new shoreline features an extensive riprap design that is sure to stand the test of time.
Our design+build process ensures your experience is positive from the initial meeting to the final walkthrough. To meet with a landscape designer or landscape architect about your shoreline landscaping project, contact us today.
