Frequently Asked Questions

What steps are involved in a typical landscaping project?

Landscaping projects come in many forms, but every great landscape needs three key stages: design, installation, and maintenance. Each step plays an important role in making your outdoor space beautiful, functional, and built to last.

Start by filling out our contact form or giving us a call for a quick consultation. We’ll talk about your needs, ideas, and budget to get a clear picture of your vision. Owner Dean Bjorkstrand personally works with you through the design stage to make sure everything fits your goals. Next, we visit your property to see the space and choose the best approach. During this visit, we check the plants already there, take photos, note key features like doors, windows, and A/C units, and review the layout and slope of your yard.

Landscape design and construction covers a wide range of projects. Some take just a few hours or days, while others can stretch over weeks or months. Simple jobs include building a new patio, updating front walkways, or adding details to your garden and lawn. More complex projects involve designing driveways, sidewalks, or entryways, managing drainage and site grading, and creating outdoor living spaces like kitchens or fireplaces. Whatever your needs, we handle every step with care and skill to bring your vision to life.

Landscape designers focus mostly on residential projects, creating ideas for hardscapes, plant materials, and design strategies. They develop landscape plans, lighting plans, and more. Our team also helps with installation by placing plants and selecting materials. Landscape architects hold licenses to provide all the services landscape designers offer, plus construction services. They create detailed plans for building retaining walls, managing drainage, and adding physical structures. Their training centers on commercial and public spaces like parks, but they often work on residential landscapes too. Landscape contractors turn these ideas into reality and sometimes help with design. Dean Bjorkstrand is a full-service landscaping company, offering both design and construction services to meet your needs.

The time it takes to complete a project depends on many factors, including the size of your property, the design you choose, the terrain, and whether permits are needed. A front foundation can be finished in about one week after you approve the proposal, while a basic patio might take another week. Larger projects take more time. Planning can last 3 to 4 weeks, getting permits can add another 3 to 4 weeks, and installation usually takes between 4 and 12 weeks. We keep you informed every step of the way.
Contact us as soon as you have a vision for your outdoor space, no matter the season – even winter. Starting with expert advice saves you time and money by helping you avoid costly mistakes. Planning your project carefully before work begins is key to enjoying the final result. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Landscaping your property is easier and more straightforward than a home remodeling project. You can often complete it in a single phase without splitting it into stages. Still, to save time and money, bring in a landscaping expert from the beginning. Share your full vision and needs so we can guide the process smoothly from start to finish.

We provide references to our Minnesota clients whenever they ask. This helps you know what to expect from our landscaping team. Talking with past and current clients gives you a clear picture of their experience working with us. We want you to feel confident choosing Dean Bjorkstrand Landscaping.
To determine the cost of your landscape design project, we consider consultation time and the design plan. We provide all costs before scheduling a consultation or starting the design. Prices vary based on your project’s size and scope. Most on-site consultations range from $150 to $300. After visiting your site, we estimate the design cost, which usually falls between $1,500 and $3,500. Once the design is complete, we provide a detailed cost proposal for all elements. You pay only what we agree on before construction begins. If you want changes or additions, we give you a new cost. We don’t add extra fees unless you request changes or face unforeseen site issues requiring more labor.
