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.

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.

It was quite excellent. I thought they were very helpful. They weren’t sure about something so they came back and put a couple more lights on at no extra charge; we were quite pleased with their service.

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.

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.
Response from Minnesota Outdoor Solutions Inc
"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."

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.
Response from Minnesota Outdoor Solutions Inc
"Thanks. I hope you are enjoying the bathroom!"

This was a good company to work with. They always did quality work. However, my husband decided to take over the yard work about one year ago. We found that their season clean up bills got to be a little high.

He got into an disagreement and started yelling at her over the phone.
Response from Minnesota Outdoor Solutions Inc
"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."

The experience was good. They showed up on time and everything was done on time. What they quoted me for was the actual price.

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.

This was a big project and they did an excellent job. My brother-in-law, a builder in Wisconsin, suggested this company through recommendations from his network of contractors. Kurtiss Peterson headed up the project with Dan checking in occasionally. They were able to start in about two weeks. The bid was conservative and the up charges for changes were modest. They removed a very large, rotting timber retaining wall and patio which turned out to be difficult due to the sturdy construction of the original wall (concrete footings, timbers sunk deep into the hill). They accommodated last-minute changes (literally the night before they were to start) in design that were technically difficult. They were flexible throughout the project and only stopped working when it rained. Dan was prompt in returning phone calls and submitting bids. We couldn't have been more pleased. In addition, all their work is guaranteed for six years.
