Plantings & Softscapes

Expert Plantings & Softscapes in Woodbury, Rosemount & Stillwater, MN, and Hudson, WI

Professional landscape bed installations and renovations with native perennials that thrive in Minnesota and Wisconsin

Your landscape beds are the foundation of your property’s curb appeal, but tired plantings and overgrown beds can make even the most well-maintained lawn look neglected. At LNG Landscapes, we specialize in creating vibrant, thriving softscapes that bring life and color to your outdoor space throughout the growing season.

Whether you’re starting with bare ground or renovating existing beds, our Master Gardener-trained team designs and installs plantings that are perfectly suited to the Twin Cities climate. We serve homeowners in Woodbury, Rosemount, Stillwater, Minnesota, and Hudson, Wisconsin, with both new landscape bed installations and complete renovations of existing softscapes.

New Installations and Complete Landscape Bed Renovations

Every property has different needs, which is why we offer flexible approaches to plantings and softscapes. For new installations, we work with you to determine the ideal location, size, and shape of your landscape beds. Our team handles everything from soil preparation and bed edging to plant selection and installation, creating cohesive designs that complement your home’s architecture and existing landscape features.

If you already have landscape beds that need refreshing, our renovation services can breathe new life into tired plantings. We assess your current beds, remove struggling or overgrown plants, improve soil conditions, and install fresh perennials and shrubs that will thrive in your specific conditions. Many of our renovation projects also include mulch installation or decorative rock to create clean, finished edges.

Proven Perennials for Twin Cities Landscapes

The key to successful plantings is choosing varieties that are well-suited to our regional climate and growing conditions. Our team specializes in hardy perennials that return year after year, providing reliable color and texture while requiring minimal maintenance once established.

Our most popular perennial selections include:

• Coneflowers (Echinacea) — Drought-tolerant natives that attract butterflies and provide late-season color
• Daylilies — Versatile perennials with extended blooming periods and excellent heat tolerance
• Feather Reed Grass — Architectural ornamental grass that adds movement and winter interest
• Karl Foerster Feather Reed Grass — A superior cultivar known for its upright habit and golden fall color
• Peonies — Long-lived perennials with spectacular spring blooms and attractive foliage

These selections work well in both full sun and partial shade conditions common throughout Woodbury, Rosemount, and the St. Croix River Valley. Our team considers factors like mature plant size, bloom timing, and seasonal interest to create beds that look great from spring through fall.

Professional Design Process and Quality Installation

Every successful planting project begins with understanding your property’s unique conditions and your aesthetic preferences. Our design process starts with an on-site consultation where we evaluate soil quality, drainage, sun exposure, and existing landscape elements. We also discuss your maintenance preferences and color choices to ensure your new plantings align with your lifestyle.

For larger projects or complex designs, we offer professional landscape design services including 2D and 3D layouts that show exactly how your finished beds will look. Our Vector Works design process can include a free 2D layout using Property Intel, with in-depth 2D and 3D design available as part of the project cost.

Our installation process focuses on long-term success. We prepare beds with proper soil amendments and organic matter, ensuring excellent drainage and root development. All plantings are installed according to their specific depth and spacing requirements, and we provide detailed aftercare instructions to help your new landscape thrive.

Integrated Landscape Solutions

Plantings and softscapes work best as part of a complete landscape design. Many of our clients combine new plantings with complementary hardscape features like natural stone walkways, retaining walls, or landscape lighting to create cohesive outdoor living spaces.

We also offer ongoing maintenance through our Premier Garden Service program, which includes seasonal care, pruning, and bed maintenance to keep your plantings looking their best year after year. This comprehensive approach ensures your investment continues to enhance your property’s value and beauty.
