Retaining Walls

Retaining walls are one of our specialties, and for good reason. In the rolling terrain of Chanhassen, Eden Prairie, Minnetonka, and surrounding communities, grade changes are a constant challenge. Our crew designs and installs retaining walls using premium materials including Versa-Lok, Belgard, and natural stone boulders. Every wall we build includes proper compaction, geogrid reinforcement where needed, and drainage tile behind the wall to protect your investment from frost heave and hydrostatic pressure.

Whether you need a functional wall to hold back a hillside or a terraced design that adds planting beds and visual depth to your landscape, our team handles projects of every scale. We also integrate seat walls, steps, and lighting into retaining wall designs to maximize both function and beauty.

Patios

Thinking about pulling the trigger on a new patio? Whether you envision a traditional paver layout, a natural stone flagstone surface, or a modern large-format slab design, our team can help you every step of the way. We work with top manufacturers including Belgard, Techo-Bloc, and Unilock to give you access to hundreds of color, texture, and pattern combinations.

Every Three Timbers patio installation begins with proper excavation, a compacted Class 5 base, and leveling sand to ensure your surface stays flat and drains correctly for years to come. We also build integrated features like fire pits, seat walls, outdoor kitchens, and pergola footings directly into the patio layout so everything works together as a single cohesive design.

Fire Pits

One of the best ways to bring the family together in Minnesota is by the fire. Whether you are looking for a simple gravel surround with a steel ring, a full paver fire pit with a matching seat wall, or a natural boulder fire feature, the Three Timbers team is here to help create the fire pit of your dreams.

Our fire pit installations are engineered for safety and longevity, with proper drainage underneath, heat-rated materials, and gas-line hookups available if you prefer the convenience of propane or natural gas. We serve homeowners in Waconia, Chaska, Mound, Victoria, Excelsior, and throughout the southwest metro with fire features that become the centerpiece of your backyard entertaining space.

Customer Focused Hardscaping

Three Timbers hardscaping services are built around a customer-centric approach that ensures every homeowner ends up with a truly exceptional outdoor space. Our process starts with an educational consultation where we walk your property, discuss your goals, and explain the options available for your specific site conditions. From there, our design team puts together a detailed plan with material selections, layout options, and a transparent quote so you know exactly what to expect.

Once the design is perfected and approved, our experienced crews break ground and handle every phase of installation, from excavation and base prep through final compaction and joint sand. We keep you informed at every stage and welcome your input throughout the build. While quality hardscaping takes time to do right, we have found it is well worth the wait when your family can enjoy a beautiful, durable outdoor space for decades to come.

The crew at Three Timbers was great! We needed to buy a lot of plants, shrubs and trees for a remodel and they were professional, efficient, and knowledgeable. They were also affordable compared to what we were able to find at the nurseries, and their plants were in great condition. We were very pleased with our experience and plan to use them again in the future.

I finally decided I was done taking days every fall to rake my yard and clean up the garden. I contacted Three Timbers, got a quick quote, asked some questions, received quick replies and booked them. This week they came, worked hard and cleaned up my yard - far better than I would have. I've also contracted with them for spring clean up and am glad I did. Highly recommended.

Three Timbers was highly recommended by my sister. We are very happy with the service provided by Three Timbers! The team is great to work with and very responsive to all questions. They are very professional and provided clear communication. They installed French drainages to my backyard. They cleaned up all the debris and very well organized when they were laying the sod. Very outstanding job! Thank you so much!

Getting the Most Out of Your Hardscaping

Process

Our hardscaping services start with a free initial consultation so we can learn everything about your dream landscape. We evaluate your property’s grade, soil conditions, drainage patterns, and sun exposure to make sure the design will perform as well as it looks. Once we have all of the information we need, our design team puts together an initial concept and works with you to adjust layout, materials, and features until it is exactly what you had in mind.

After the design is approved, we handle permitting if needed, schedule the project, and begin work. Our crews follow a proven installation sequence: excavation, base preparation, compaction, material placement, and finishing details. We keep the job site clean and communicate daily progress updates so you always know what to expect next.

Materials

Our team has experience working with a wide variety of hardscaping materials, from stackable concrete blocks and interlocking pavers to thousand-pound natural boulders and hand-cut flagstone. We partner with premium manufacturers including Belgard, Versa-Lok, Techo-Bloc, and Unilock, and we can source specialty stone from quarries across the upper Midwest.

Regardless of the size, complexity, or material, our team has the necessary skills and equipment to get the job done right. During your consultation, we will bring material samples so you can see and feel your options in person, compare colors against your home’s exterior, and make a confident decision before any work begins.

Budget

At Three Timbers we believe that everyone deserves a backyard they can enjoy. That is why we offer hardscaping solutions at multiple price points, adjusting materials, complexity, and project scope to work within your budget. During the consultation, we provide a detailed line-item estimate so you can see where every dollar goes and make informed decisions about where to invest and where to save.

Many of our clients in Chanhassen, Eden Prairie, and Minnetonka phase their projects over two or three seasons, starting with the patio and adding a fire pit or retaining wall the following year. We are happy to help you develop a phased plan that achieves your full vision over time while keeping each phase within a comfortable budget.
