At ForeverLawn Minnesota, Inc., our number one concern is quality. We know when you're investing in artificial grass designed to last, you expect nothing but the best. As the industry innovator, ForeverLawn is committed to developing better products and continuously defining the future of synthetic grass. Owners, Troy and Chantel, will work closely with you to design the best solution to fit your needs. Call us today!

"My synthetic grass was installed in my 5000 square foot front yard 3 years ago. It's been through 3 winters and it looks as good today as it did when it was installed. We tried for 10 years at great expense to grow grass but because we have so much shade and because our yard is so steep we were never successful. I knew that synthetic turf was the only answer and I called 3 companies for estimates and samples. When compared to the other samples, ForeverLawn's grass was by far the highest quality. I hired Troy and his crew and I wish I would have known about them 10 years ago. I can honestly say that I couldn't be happier. I would recommend ForeverLawn to anyone."

We are committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty, and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"We recently moved to a home that came with a list of deferred maintenance, and we wanted to make a few changes to it as well. Although we’re perfectly able to do (most) of the work ourselves, we had enough to do packing and unpacking boxes as well as working full time. So we asked around about handyman services in our area and were lucky enough to be given Lucas’ name. Lucas was responsible and did a great job! Before we scheduled time, we sent him a list of tasks we wanted him to handle such as installing a mailbox and post, fixing boards on the deck and staining it, insulating AC lines, sealing holes in the exterior of the home, installing inside handrails, changing light fixtures, and installing closet rods and shelves. He came when he said he would and had the tools he needed for the job. He referred to the list we had sent and efficiently and neatly worked through it. He was pleasant to have in our home and treated it with respect. We will definitely use him again!"

You can count on our knowledge and years of experience in residential landscaping to provide top quality products: Paver Patios-Walkways-Driveways-Fire Pits, Retaining Walls, Landscape Steps, Water Features, Shrub and Perennial Gardens, Rip Rap, and much more.

"I paid 1/2 down 9 months in advance for a decent size repair job after electricians dug in cables. The job was to fill voids and hydroseed. After they were finished there we still trench and 25% of the hydroseeding was not complete. I tried to get Mike to look at the job by contacting him via phone call and email. The work was to be completed in May. On June 14th after several emails and voicemails, he told me he would come over to review the project one evening. He never showed up and in September after not hearing anything else from him I got a bill for the remainder of the project. When I too, d Mike the project was never completed he spoke with other people that told him it was completed. It is very hard to discuss what is growing 5 months after a project was supposed to be completed. We had to pay others to do the work and some of the work was done by people here. I would never recommend Mike Hvezda or Rockwood Landscaping. Buyer beware!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

A full backyard renovation can cost between $15,000 and $50,000, depending on the scope of the project. Excavation, materials, and labor costs all contribute to the final cost of updating your outdoor spaces, and expensive features like a pool, a fence, or hardscaping carry a high price tag.

Pergolas and similar overhead outdoor structures will typically be subject to building code regulations. Every municipality is different, and some may have specs or permit requirements, so it’s important to double-check. Some HOAs may also have restrictions on what you can build, so be sure to check with your HOA as well (if applicable).

When comparing redwood vs. cedar fences, you’ll typically find a redwood fence costs more to install. The material alone runs from $8 to $20 per linear foot, and labor can cost up to $15 per linear foot, given how complex redwood is to work with. Cedar fences cost between $2 to $4 per linear foot for materials, and labor costs are likely closer to $10 per linear foot. Here are some cedar fence ideas if you’re looking to go the more affordable route.

Yes, many providers offer design consultations to create unique structures. Confirm with your contractor.

DIY is possible for basic designs. Professional installation ensures stability and compliance with building codes.
