What to Consider Before Starting a Minnetonka Landscaping Project

Before starting any landscaping project in Minnetonka, there are two main factors you’ll want to consider first. These will help you avoid potential pitfalls, making the project go smoothly. 

Local Rules and Regulations

If you’re starting a landscaping project, particularly in the city of Minnetonka, you want to make sure that the contractor is experienced in all the local laws and regulations in the city. Due to Minnetonka’s lake system, there are many strict rules and regulations to protect the environment. A contractor that’s working in the city of Minnetonka should have extensive knowledge of those rules and regulations.

Finding an Experienced Contractor

Secondly, you want to find a landscaping contractor that has a lot of experience. While general landscaping knowledge is important, you want one that particularly has local experience. They should understand the soil, light, and other conditions that can affect landscaping projects. In addition, you want to make sure that the contractor has experience in all the different avenues related to landscape construction. This way, they can handle the entire project by themselves and install it in an expert fashion. This also prevents you from having to consult with many different companies just for one outdoor restoration project. 

If you need a contractor that fulfills both of these criteria, look no further than Natural Environments Corporation. Get a free quote from us today. 

The Importance of Hiring an Experienced Contractor

As mentioned, experience is one of the most important attributes for a contractor to have. If you don’t hire someone who has a high level of experience, you may find yourself running into the following consequences:

  • Cost overruns: Cost overruns can happen due to unexpected circumstances like material cost increases. However, an experienced contractor like NEC is better at sticking to their initial quote since they have a thorough understanding of local conditions and can anticipate potential problems ahead of time.  
  • Project delays: Much like cost overruns, project delays can happen on any project, no matter the experience level of the contractor. One common reason that inexperienced contractors face project delays is that they don’t take local rules and regulations into account. They run into trouble with the city, so they have to stop the project until they can meet the guidelines. 
  • Product failures: Any installation issues an inexperienced contractor makes can lead to product failures. If the issue is severe enough, there may even be safety issues. 

Natural Environments Corporation, we have a great deal of experience working in the city of Minnetonka and working within the rules and regulations. This is true not just with the city government itself but also for the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, which governs many areas of the city as well. That experience, along with over 40 years of direct installation experience, makes us very confident that we can provide you with an excellent outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

Landscaping is one of the best ways to enhance curb appeal for homes in Minnetonka. Adding new pathways, driveways, and more to replace old, cracking ones can make your home look new. Restoration projects can turn a dead lawn into a haven of natural beauty. We can also line the perimeter of your home and pathways with native wildflowers and trees to give the exterior of your home a lively appearance.

Whether your landscaping can help with water conservation efforts depends on the type of landscaping project you have done. Some things that can help include planting native plants in gardens as opposed to non-native plants. Native plants are hardier and thrive in Minnetonka conditions, so they require less water to keep them alive.  

Reducing or replacing a grass lawn can also help with water conservation efforts. One little-known fact about grass lawns is that they’re not native, which is why they’re high-maintenance. If you still want the grass lawn look, you could replace it with native grasses. Some reduce their lawn by adding large gardens in their yard, which also adds to the curb appeal of the home. If you’re interested in water-conserving landscaping, contact us today, and we can discuss your options. 

Yes, landscaping projects are perfect for creating an outdoor entertainment area in Minnetonka. At Natural Environments Corporation, we can install pools, patios, decks, outdoor kitchens, and much more. Our services can help you create the ideal space for entertaining family, friends, and guests.  

When it comes to creating a wildlife-friendly garden, native plant species are key. Native plants serve as a food source for pollinators like bees and butterflies. It’s also a good idea to plant trees around your property, which can serve as a habitat for birds. 

Yes, many of our landscaping services are specifically designed to help with erosion control. Rain gardens and trees can help control stormwater runoff, which will prevent the ground from eroding. Retaining walls can help control erosion on slopes, which can also reduce the risk of land or mudslides. If you have a shoreline on your property, then having us use a shoreline stabilization method like rip rap or vegetative solutions can help control erosion there.
