Structural Hardscapes & Outdoor Amenities
Whether you need an inviting employee courtyard in St. Louis Park or a massive structural retaining wall for a new development in Wayzata, our commercial hardscaping team delivers.

Standing water in a commercial parking lot or near a foundation is a massive liability. Our excavation and site services team specializes in solving complex water management issues. Using laser-leveling technology, we execute precise site grading, install deep catch basins, and manage large-scale land clearing for new commercial developments.

Zero-Tolerance Commercial Snow Removal
When winter hits the Lake Minnetonka area, keeping your business open and your pathways safe is critical. Our commercial snow management focuses heavily on liability reduction. From massive retail lots in Plymouth to intricate townhome complexes in Minnetonka, our overnight storm crews ensure your property is cleared, salted, and safe before your first customer arrives.

Mitigating Risk & Enhancing Asset Value
Commercial landscaping is about much more than just cutting grass; it is a critical component of risk management and asset valuation. Unkempt walkways, overgrown sightlines, and icy parking lots expose property owners to severe slip-and-fall liabilities. Furthermore, high-end corporate tenants and HOA residents expect a standard of exterior excellence that reflects their investment.
By partnering with Freshwater Landscaping, you receive proactive site monitoring. If we spot a drainage issue that could freeze into black ice, or a dead tree branch hanging over a walkway, we report and resolve it before it becomes a hazard. We protect your property's value while giving you complete peace of mind.
