Benjamin

My name is Benjamin, and I bring over 12 years of hands-on experience in hardscaping, excavation, and landscape construction. I began working in the industry while still in high school, learning the trade in Colorado under my brother, who owned his own hardscaping company and specialized in high-end residential projects.

Being mentored in that environment exposed me early to elevated standards, detailed stonework, and the level of craftsmanship expected in custom outdoor construction.

My foundation was built around natural stone — understanding how materials interact with grade, terrain, and the surrounding environment. That early experience shaped my approach: outdoor spaces should feel organic, structurally sound, and seamlessly integrated into the land, rather than imposed upon it.

After high school, I expanded into excavation, specializing in grading and drainage systems. That background gives us a technical advantage. Proper base preparation, water management, and site grading are critical to long-term durability — especially in Minnesota’s climate.

Because of this experience, we not only build beautiful outdoor spaces, but we engineer them to perform.

In addition to full landscape and hardscape installations, we also offer:

Small excavation projects
Grading work
Advanced drainage solutions

This ensures every project begins with a solid foundation and ends with refined execution.

Ally

My business partner and wife, Ally, is originally from North Mankato and brings over 10 years of horticultural and landscape design experience to our team.

She began her career maintaining city landscaping for Mankato before advancing into high-end garden services throughout the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area. She also worked at a garden center in St. Peter, gaining extensive plant knowledge and hands-on design experience before joining Eagle Hardscapes full-time.

Ally plays a central role in our landscape design process. She specializes in creating cohesive outdoor environments that balance structure with softness — integrating:

Evergreen backdrops
Layered perennials
Ornamental textures
Architectural plantings

into a unified and elevated design.

She also designs and installs custom annual containers, providing refined seasonal color and elevated curb appeal throughout the year.

We provide professional 3D landscape renderings, allowing clients to clearly visualize their outdoor investment before construction begins. This collaborative design approach ensures clarity, confidence, and a finished result that reflects both vision and intention.

Her ability to merge horticultural expertise with elevated design ensures that every project feels layered, curated, and thoughtfully composed.
