Dan got back to me right away after leaving him a message on his phone. He is located in the west suburbs, so was able to get out to our home to discuss the project within 1 week. He gave us great suggestions, pictures and references of other homes in the area that he had completed projects that we could view. He was priced reasonable, and he was able to fit our needs and timeline. Dan & his crew were very courteous and professional and we were very pleased with all the suggestions he made for our project. We would hire him again and would recommend to friends & relatives.
Description of Work: Dan & his crew built a retaining wall of boulders along the backside of our newly installed pool. They also replaced our wood chips with stone all along our home.

Response from Minnesota Outdoor Solutions Inc
Minnesota Outdoor Solutions prepared two renderings for this customer and sent them after the initial meeting. We learned that the customer had not received the renderings through our Angie's List representative - not through the potential customer. When we were made aware of the fact that she did not receive the renderings, we followed up with a phone call to confirm contact information and resent the renderings. At that time, the customer confirmed that she received the renderings. We also followed up after the renderings were sent to see if she had any questions or concerns. We are disappointed that the customer did not contact us directly before writing a review because Minnesota Outdoor Solutions takes great pride in stellar customer communications.

I would give them an outstanding rating. I have recommended them to a few neighbors. It went well. They did a good job. It was quality work. They were here on time. They got it done in a timely manner. A couple of years later it looked like some of the pavers were sinking. It was actually chipmunks and they came out and fixed it for free. It wasn't their fault and I would have paid them because it had nothing to do with them.
Description of Work: I used Minnesota Outdoor Solutions for pavers and hardscaping. They installed a paver driveway. It was a 3 car driveway and 2 sidewalks.

I got three estimates. One was extremely high, one was extremely low and the other one was the one we were expecting but we didn’t feel comfortable around the salesman. It gives us a bad feeling if we don’t feel comfortable. He knew what I was talking about. I was talking about the rubberized texture that goes behind the shower for water proofing. He actually knows the brand name. The other didn’t know what I was talking about; I had to pull up pictures.

It well from the very beginning. I had put together all my ideas of what I was looking for. They really listened to what I wanted. Although parts of what I wanted wouldn't work based on the way my house was set up plus the size of my yard, they helped me to modify my plans so that I still got the essence of what I wanted. Started on time, kept me informed along the way. Very polite and respectful. Plan to hire them again for my next round of landscaping. Price was very reasonable and fair. They were very good about helping me put a multiple step plan in place based on my budget.

Jim came to our house as planned, sat down and listened to our ideas and needs. He asked numerous questions before going out and looking at the area and making sure we were on the same page. We discussed a couple of options and prices before deciding on what we should choose. Unfortunately, the weather turned bad and timing ( we wanted a couple of bids ) didn't work out so we'll have to wait until next year to readdress this job. I was very impressed with the professionalism, knowledge, and helpfulness of the owner and am very interested in potentially using this company in the future.

We never set a time to meet. The member was informed that we were extremely busy we try to meet on Friday the 19th. No guarantees were given. Additionally the scope of work was extremely small. Repairing pavers in a patio where deck posts were installed. The member was informed that this was an very small project for our company and that he should look else where if he was in a hurry to get the work done. Not to mention the fact that we did look at the project a couple days later and the member communicated he was going to the work himself.

If he can’t do the project, he will be honest, upfront and tell me. They are extremely trustworthy. Dan and all of his workers are great.
Description of Work: Every year they’ve done large projects, small projects, you name it they’ve done it. He has been doing work for me for about 8 years. They’ve done everything you can imagine inside and outside of my home including my commercial building. They do everything from outside landscaping, hardscaping and softscaping. They built a new driveway, 2 Bocce ball courts out of stone and a fire pit. Also, in the winter they do all the indoor suff like bathroom work, electrical and tile work. He is doing a project now.

The service was good. Their billing was very difficult. They couldn’t keep track of whether or not they had billed me on their service. They would double bill me sometimes. I had to keep all the bills. The service they gave was very good, but the billing finally got to me and I changed services.

I do recall an issue with the bill but I am aboslutely postive that was never any "double" billing. We have since completely automated our billing system. We do make mistakes and my background is definitely not accounting but we are hardworking and very pro-active with our service. I do recall making several visits out to the property to check on ice damn problems while the homeowner was away at thier winter home and I never presented a bill for those services. We also made several additional visits at no charge. We take the pride of ownership in our clients properties as if it was our own.

I really liked Dan a lot. We haven’t proceeded yet. He was very responsive. I liked his personality. He was very low pressure. I may end up doing the job myself since I have other house repairs to do first, but I would highly recommend him.

They are very good. The owner of the business is good. He is very competent and thorough. I really like the way the people work who work for him. A realtor has used him in her home and she is who recommended him to me. We had some things go beyond schedule due to scheduling and ordering through other companies. Minnesota Outdoor Solutions workers are very talented guys. They were very trustworthy. There was a paint job completed while waiting on the supplies to come in. He helped me pick out the right color. He even finished taken off the adhesive from the wallpaper that had been removed. He did a great job.
Description of Work: He gutted the bathroom for me. He does out door work from April- end of summer and inside work during the winter.

Quality work, well managed project, professional, fair prices, proven track record of standing by their work several years later.
Description of Work: Demo of blacktop driveway and concrete sidewalk; replaced with paver drive and walks. Project was actually done in 2006 and still looks beautiful. Last year there was an area that looked like it was sinking, so I called them. Kurtis came out within a week - the problem area was actually the result of chipmunk tunnels under the driveway, obvious when the pavers were removed. They repaired the area and I was fully prepared to pay (it was nothing to do with their original workmanship). They didn't charge a thing. Coupled with the quality work and great experience on the original install, this really impressed. I have also recommended them to 4 neighbors who have used them, and all agree they've had a great experience.

After talking with two other landscaping companies, decided to go with Minnesota Outdoor Solutions due to their promptness and extensive experience. Paver walks and patio have now survived their first winter and look fabulous. Boulder walls look great and helped level out a sloping site. Employees were hardworking and very knowledgable about plants and trees and were very friendly and easy to work with. Shrubs and trees are excellent quality. Curb appeal is amazing.

Facts: We provided services for said member and never recieved compensation. We charged $100 per month for a one inch snow fall contract for a three car garage home. We never recieved a cancellation notice. We provided maintenance services and multiple landscape projects for the homeowner over a period of several years and the simple truth of the matter is they found someone who do the work for less money and yet never bothered to cancel the service and thus we contined to provide it without compensation. No one yelled we called regarding payment. Member i think you were about 10 years old at the time this happened.

I called up Minnesota Outdoor Solutions to add a patio to the back of our house. We used their designer, Dan Claar, to design a great paver patio. They dug up our old cement patio and replaced it. They put in new plants that complimented around the new patio. They added shrubs and trees and mulch that makes my yard look much nicer.
