GOOD QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions we hear most — answered honestly, upfront.

Smaller, focused improvements may begin around $5,000, while larger landscape design and installation projects commonly range from $15,000 to $75,000. The final cost depends on the property, materials, drainage or grading requirements, access, and total project scope. North Ridge provides a written proposal before installation begins.

Yes. North Ridge Outdoor Services offers free estimates for qualifying projects in Inver Grove Heights and the surrounding service area. Our team will discuss your goals, review the property, and provide a recommended scope without requiring you to commit during the initial visit.

Yes. North Ridge Outdoor Services is licensed and insured in Minnesota, and workers’ compensation coverage applies to crew members. Documentation is available upon request.

North Ridge uses in-house crews for its core landscape design and installation work. This approach provides clearer communication and accountability throughout the project. If any specialty trade requires outside involvement, disclose that in the proposal rather than making an absolute sitewide claim.

We provide landscape design and installation, patios and hardscapes, landscape lighting, lawn maintenance, irrigation, and related outdoor improvements. Commercial clients can also request landscape maintenance, irrigation, landscape installation, and snow and ice management.

We are based in Inver Grove Heights and serve 12 communities across the south and east Twin Cities metro. Our service area includes Eagan, Lakeville, Burnsville, Apple Valley, Woodbury, Rosemount, Mendota Heights, Cottage Grove, South St. Paul, West St. Paul, and Hastings.

Warranty coverage varies by service. The site currently identifies a five-year written hardscape warranty and up to 15 years of coverage for qualifying landscape lighting components. Your proposal should state the specific warranty that applies to your project.

Most consultations can be scheduled shortly after you contact us, but installation availability depends on the season and current project calendar. Most residential projects take one to three weeks once work begins, although larger or more complex projects may require additional time. We provide the expected schedule in writing before starting.
