The Autumn Advantage
As the seasons shift, autumn presents the perfect opportunity to care for and improve your outdoor space. Cooler temperatures and slower plant growth create ideal conditions for planting trees, shrubs, and perennials, giving them time to establish strong roots before winter.
Fall is also an excellent time to overseed your lawn and prepare garden beds for the colder months ahead. It’s nature’s ideal planting season—setting the foundation for a vibrant, healthy yard come spring. Whether you’re looking to seed a new lawn, add long-lasting color with perennials, or plant trees and shrubs for structure and shade, now is the time to act.
Love camping, starry nights, and the crackle of a cozy fire? Recreate that feeling at home with a custom fire pit patio—perfect for relaxing evenings and unforgettable gatherings.
Turn Your Backyard Into a Cozy Retreat
- Pair your fire feature with natural stone and paver patios for a stunning, durable foundation.
- Add built-in seating, lighting, and landscaping for a truly immersive backyard experience.
- Great for year-round entertaining, s’mores nights with the family, or simply unwinding under the stars.
In addition to their aesthetic appeal, paver surfaces are highly practical. They provide a smooth, level foundation that simplifies everyday maintenance—especially in Minnesota’s changing seasons. A well-installed paver path, for example, offers a stable walking surface and makes snow removal much easier during the winter months.
