Creating responsible gardens from conception to completion

Minnesota Roots has been serving the Twin Cities community for over 25 years!

We see our projects as an opportunity to transform the health of the land and improve relationships with all of its interconnected ecology.

Our work creates beauty, inspires interaction visually and physically, and links our clients to the landscape.

From large to small scale projects, residential and commercial spaces, our professional services include:

  • Garden Design & Installation

  • Garden Maintenance

  • Seasonal Decorating & Planting

“MN Roots did an excellent job on a yard and garden project with a patio at our Mac-Groveland home. The company owner was clear, coordinated well with others, such as a cement co., and had good employees. We were happy with the process and the results.”

— Margaret H. (client)
