At Northwood Outdoor Services, we help homeowners in Cottage Grove create outdoor spaces that feel finished, functional, and built to last in Minnesota weather.

Why Homeowners Recommend Northwood
Real feedback on our landscaping work, clear communication, and results that last.
"Ben and Ally and crew at Eagle Hardscapes were excellent in communication and brought our project to completion just like it was designed and on budget. They did a paver patio with sitting wall, landscaping and drainage . It turned out incredible and on budget. Would highly recommend."
"Highly Recommend Northwood Outdoor Services!! We had a fantastic experience working with Northwood Outdoor Services from start to finish. Ally and Benjamin clearly take pride in their work and did a phenomenal job on our landscaping project! From the initial design discussion through installation, Ally and Benjamin were professional, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced. They offered practical suggestions on layout, materials, and plant selection that improved both the look and long‑term functionality of our yard. The quality of workmanship really stood out - grading, planting, and finishing details were handled with care. They were efficient, respectful of the property, and left our yard (and the street) clean at the end of each day. Trust me - not only will we be using them for future large projects, we have already begun discussions with them about ongoing services for later this year! If you’re looking for a reliable, highly skilled landscaping company that combines strong design sense with high‑quality execution and reliable communication, Northwood Outdoor Services is the ONLY choice for your project! We are tremendously pleased with the results...and so are our neighbors. The compliments keep pouring in!"
"Jack Aho and his team did an exceptional job on our new colored and stamped patio. From design help to final product Jack was attentive and quick to respond to our questions and needs during the project. We highly recommend Northwood services and Jack Aho to help make your yard a showplace!"
"Work was done very well and on time. Mike and his crew are very professional. I am very pleased."
"They were very easy to work with! Sometimes I'd need to send an extra text to get a response but as they're out on jobsites all day, I totally understand and would expect that. They texted me after hours which was nice. He was very thoughtful to drop off stone samples when the online pictures made them look like entirely different colors- he got the perfect ones! They were also able to schedule me in right away before an outdoor party we had, so that was super awesome! Before and After pictures of our stone patio stairs and sloping patio"
"Always has great design and finish projects look great"
"We put out a plea on fb yesterday looking for someone that could remove a tree, this weekend, 2 day window. We knew it was a fat chance as most companies are booked at least 3 weeks out. Well.. he responded quickly, came out today (one day later) and removed not just 1.. but 2 trees, removed them, and ground the stumps!! Obviously very highly recommended for any of your tree needs!!!"
"Northwood Outdoor Services goes above and beyond to give the best quality to there clients - there ability to provide a wide variety services is incredible. HIGHLY recommend for any of your landscaping needs!"
"I highly recommend Tyler to anyone! I shared with Tyler some plans that we were looking to get done with our yard. He communicated clearly and was very specific with price. I knew exactly what the outcome would be when he was done with our yard project! He is always in time and is a great communicate. Very thankful I had the opportunity to support a local small business!"
"We found the right landscaper when we picked Tyler. His communication was awesome from when he came out to estimate the wall project to when it was completed. Once we told him what we wanted, he told us in detail how he would make the wall we asked for. Because of our color preference, Tyler suggested Versa-Lock blocks and told us where we could see the block colors. He was very thorough, conscientious and his work was very high quality. We highly recommend him to others."
"I recommend Northwood Outdoor Services for all your landscaping needs! The quality they bring shows in their work and they are very prompt. Looking forward to working with them again!"
"I used north woods to thatch my lawn this spring based on a recommendation of their service. Did not disappoint! I may have them back to quote a larger landscaping project!"
"Tyler and his crew did an awesome job for us!"
"Tyler and the Northwood Outdoor crew did a phenomenal job with a project at my house. We had to move a lot of dirt to build a retaining wall, which will ultimately house a shed. I had met with several landscape companies and had the best overall feeling with Tyler. He was very fair and honest and did a great job with communication, timeliness and most importantly execution. It was a unique job and he came up with creative solutions to maximize the project. I would highly recommend Tyler and Northwood Outdoor Services!"
"Tyler & crew did a great job removing our old retaining wall & building a new one. We love it!"
