Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Ben Erickson, Owner, has been practicing Landscape Architecture in the Twin Cities for over 16 years, first learning the ropes at the office of CLOSE Landscape Architecture until opening b.e landscape designs in 2012. We do commercial as well as residential projects and as of 2017, b.e. landscape designs offers installation as part of its scope of services, so give us a call and let us know how we can help out with your next project. Most enjoyable part of my job is watching a project go from "design" phase to "installation", and helping the client be a part of that process.

B.E. Landscape Designs did a wonderful job! I started a project at home that I could not finish on my own. I was having a shed built on my property and thought I could handle removing the mulch and tree stump parts then leveling my yard myself. Big mistake. I was very worried because the shed was being delivered and built in just a couple weeks. I reached out to Ben at B.E. and he was able to get me on his schedule in time before the shed came. Carlos and his crew did an amazing job of clearing out the area and putting down gravel and leveling it for me. It was incredible. Pictures included. I was so impressed I made a list of projects that I am going to hire them for next spring! Thank you Ben and Carlos, and Crew!

Ben and his crew did an amazing job on our landscape project. He had great ideas and helped design an attractive solution to our steep terraced slope. There were some challenges working in a small area transporting big boulders, but everything was handled safely and with creative professionalism. I would recommend him without qualification!

Ben and his crew did an excellent job overall. I am not saying there were not some issues along the way - a few plants we wanted to keep were discarded without consulting us, a sprinkler head was buried under a stone pathway - but these issues were addressed and corrected by providing new plants and moving the sprinkler head when discovered, although we would have been happier if these concerns hadn't arisen. Make sure everything you want is included in the plan document because that is what will happen, don't rely on verbal discussions with Ben before the job begins. The crew will be following the plan, not what you may have said to Ben separate from the plan. The crew will respond to your concerns, but if plants are discarded (for example) without you knowing it, its because it wasn't in the formal plan and you didn't see it happening at the time. We did make some decisions along the way with Ben and his crew separate from what was initially planned and that went well, but those were dealt with Ben and the crew together as the project was happening, just as they were preparing to carry out a specific part of the plan. The finished project was done very well and the mishaps (all projects have them) addressed quickly and effectively. An excellent choice if you have a substantial project you want done.

I can't say enough good things about what Ben & Carlos did for us. First Ben worked with us to come up with design and then was willing modify it as the project went along. Carlos and his crew the guy's who do the heavy lifting were fantastic.

Ben and Carlos were great. We had a project to finish on a tight timeline and needed a quality finish. They installed the rock and landscaping on time, on budget and it looks fantastic. They took it to the next level cleaning up after my garbage man who spilled grass all over our street and replaced a sprinkler head that was faulty. Very professional team, with great work ethics and quality skills.
