Saint Paul has a character all its own. From historic neighborhoods and classic homes to newer properties that need a clean, polished outdoor look, this city gives homeowners a lot to work with. We’ve seen how Minnesota weather, changing grades, old trees, and worn-out landscapes can make a yard feel hard to maintain. That’s where we come in. At Northwood Outdoor Services, we help Saint Paul homeowners turn ordinary yards into outdoor spaces that look better, work better, and add real value to the property.
We build landscapes that fit the home, the lot, and the way you want to use your yard. Whether you want a quiet backyard patio, better drainage, fresh mulch and edging, or a full landscape renovation, we bring years of hands-on experience and a straightforward process. Our goal is simple: do the job right, make it look great, and build something that lasts.
Saint Paul yards come with their own challenges. Some properties have steep slopes. Others have aging landscaping, patchy grass, outdated retaining walls, or outdoor spaces that were never designed well in the first place. We understand how to plan for Minnesota freeze-thaw cycles, manage water runoff, and choose materials that hold up through the seasons.
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all landscaping. We take the time to understand what you want from your yard, then we recommend practical, attractive solutions that make sense for your property and budget.
We offer complete outdoor improvement services for homeowners who want a yard that is both beautiful and functional.
If your yard feels outdated, hard to maintain, or underused, we can help you create a space that feels finished and easy to enjoy.
When you hire a landscaping company, you want to know the crew will show up, communicate clearly, and stand behind the work. That matters to us. We’re a local Minnesota company, and we treat every project like it matters because it does. Your landscaping is a big part of how your home looks, how your yard functions, and how much you enjoy being outside.
From the first conversation to the final walkthrough, we focus on quality, communication, and results you’ll feel good about every time you pull into the driveway.
We proudly serve homeowners across Saint Paul, including Highland Park, Macalester-Groveland, Summit Hill, Merriam Park, Como Park, Payne-Phalen, and surrounding areas. Whether you live in an established neighborhood with mature trees or a newer area that needs a full backyard plan, we’re ready to help.

Real feedback on the quality, care, and lasting results people want in their outdoor spaces
"Northwood Outdoor Services did a fantastic job on our front patio project. Ally really listened to our wants and ideas and came up with a great plan for our budget. She really understood our style and designed a beautiful project. Drainage was taken into consideration, including an underground pipe with a popup in the yard to keep ice off the pathway. Patterns of the pavers define a walkway that helps direct visitors to the front door. The view we would see out our front window was important to us and their design considered that. The whole project unifies our existing grape arbor, the front yard, water spigot and rain barrel area, all the way through to the back deck. The seating wall adds coziness with some privacy yet keeps us connected with our yard and passing neighbors. We really love the view out our front living room window and look forward to enjoying interesting vistas changing with the seasons. We anticipate the arrival of our patio furniture to complete out new outdoor space. Thanks Ben, Ally, and Alex!"
"Great service, design and finished garden. Very happy!"
"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!"
