FreshWater Landscaping is the region's choice for engineered hardscapes and reliable 24/7 winter management.
Eden Prairie's hills often require structural retaining walls to create usable space. We focus on proper surcharge management and soil reinforcement. This involves using Geogrid—a high-tenacity polyester grid—behind the wall to lock the soil in place, combined with a 12-inch clear-rock drainage chimney. This prevents the "bowing" often seen in poorly built walls after a heavy spring thaw.
Eden Prairie is committed to preserving its natural water systems. Properties near Purgatory Creek, Staring Lake, or Bryant Lake often have specific setbacks and buffer zone requirements. We work directly with the City of Eden Prairie Engineering Department to ensure your project respects wetland boundaries and utilizes proper silt fencing and erosion control during construction.
Generally, standard "at-grade" paver patios do not require a building permit in Eden Prairie. However, if the project involves a retaining wall over 4 feet tall, significant re-grading of the property, or a permanent outdoor structure like a pavilion, a permit is required. We handle all documentation and site plans to ensure your project is fully compliant with local code.
Clay soil holds water, which leads to drainage issues and "heaving" in the winter. For lawn care, we recommend bi-annual core aeration to break up compaction. For hardscaping, we use a thicker-than-average sub-base of open-graded aggregate (clear rock) rather than standard class-5 gravel. This allows water to move freely beneath your pavers rather than sitting and freezing.
Yes. Many Eden Prairie neighborhoods have steep, winding driveways that require more than just plowing. Our 24/7 residential service includes the option for high-performance salt and liquid de-icing treatments. We prioritize these steep grades to ensure your vehicles can safely exit and enter your property immediately after our crew clears the path.
