ABOUT SUNSET LANDSCAPING LLC
Premium Landscape Design for Edina's Most Discerning Homeowners
Sunset Landscaping LLC was built on a straightforward belief: that great landscape design should not be the exclusive province of the ultra-wealthy, and that every homeowner who invests in their outdoor space deserves a team that brings genuine talent, genuine care, and genuine accountability to the project. That belief has guided every decision we have made since 2006 — from how we hire and train our design team, to how we source our plants and materials, to how we communicate with our clients throughout the design and installation process.
Edina is a community with exceptionally high standards for its homes and its landscapes, and we welcome that expectation. It is what sharpens our design work, demands our best material and plant selections, and ensures that every project we complete in this community is something we are genuinely proud to drive past. We have completed hundreds of landscape design and installation projects across Edina, and our portfolio reflects the full range of the community — from stately colonial properties on established lots to contemporary new builds seeking a landscape that matches their architecture.
Our Minnesota roots are not incidental — they are fundamental to the quality of our work. We understand the specific challenges of designing for a climate that delivers both blazing July heat and brutal January cold. We know which plants perform reliably through Edina's freeze-thaw cycles, which hardscape materials hold up over decades rather than seasons, and how to engineer drainage solutions that protect both your landscape investment and your home's foundation. That knowledge only comes from years of experience designing for Minnesota conditions — and it is embedded in every plan we produce.
What sets Sunset Landscaping LLC apart in Edina:
- Minnesota-based and operated — deeply familiar with Twin Cities climate, soils, and growing conditions
- Full-service design capability — from initial concept through final installation and follow-up care
- Plants sourced exclusively from reputable Minnesota wholesale nurseries for proven regional performance
- Every project backed by our comprehensive workmanship warranty
- Fully insured — with general liability coverage
- Transparent pricing with itemized proposals and firm, guaranteed costs
OUR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Creative Vision. Unmatched Quality. Honest Value.
The three pillars of Sunset Landscaping LLC's design philosophy are not aspirational marketing language — they are the specific commitments we make to every Edina homeowner we work with, and the standards against which we measure every project we complete. They are why our clients refer us to their neighbors, and why so many of our Edina relationships have spanned multiple projects over more than a decade.
Premium landscape design is not simply about choosing beautiful plants and placing them attractively. It is about understanding how a space will be used, how it will change across seasons and years, how it interacts with the architecture of the home, and how it manages the water, light, and soil conditions of a specific site. That depth of thinking is what elevates a landscape from pretty to genuinely extraordinary — and it is what Sunset Landscaping LLC brings to every Edina property we design.
Creative Design Vision
Great landscape design is both an art and a science. Our designers bring genuine creative talent combined with deep horticultural expertise to every Edina property we touch. We don't pull designs from a template — we study your home's architecture, your lifestyle, and the natural character of your site, then craft a landscape plan that is entirely and beautifully your own.
- Personalized design consultation on every project
- Custom landscape plans — never cookie-cutter designs
- Plant selection chosen for Edina's soils and microclimate
- Designs that balance beauty, privacy, and year-round interest
Unmatched Quality
We believe quality is the most important word in landscape design. Quality plants, sourced from reputable Minnesota nurseries. Quality hardscape materials, selected for durability through Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles. And quality installation — by skilled, experienced crews who take genuine pride in the work they produce on every Edina property.
- Plants sourced from proven Minnesota wholesale nurseries
- Premium hardscape materials rated for Minnesota climate
- Every installation backed by our workmanship warranty
- Post-installation site visits to ensure plant establishment
Honest Value
Edina homeowners expect premium results — and they also expect to be treated with honesty and respect. We deliver both. Our pricing is transparent and itemized, our proposals are detailed and firm, and we never recommend more scope than your property and your goals actually require. The best value is always the right project, done right.
- Transparent, itemized written proposals on every project
- No hidden fees, no mid-project change orders
- Honest recommendations — scope matched to your goals
- Long-term value: landscapes designed to appreciate over time
OUR SERVICES
Comprehensive Landscape Design & Installation Services
Sunset Landscaping LLC offers a complete range of landscape design and installation services tailored specifically for Edina's residential market. From the initial design concept through planting, hardscape installation, and seasonal follow-up, we manage the entire process with the attention to detail and professional communication that Edina homeowners expect. Every service we offer begins with design — because we believe a thoughtful plan is the most important investment you can make in any landscape project.
Our custom landscape design service is the foundation of everything we do. We begin with a thorough site assessment and an in-depth design consultation, then develop a comprehensive landscape plan that addresses every element of your outdoor space — from planting beds and lawn areas to hardscape, drainage, lighting, and privacy. The result is a detailed, professionally drawn plan that guides every subsequent decision and gives you a clear vision of your finished landscape before a single plant goes in the ground.
- In-depth design consultation covering goals, style, and lifestyle considerations
- Full-property site assessment including soil, drainage, sun, and grade evaluation
- Professionally developed landscape plan with planting layout and hardscape design
- Plant schedule with species, size, quantity, and placement specifications
- Phased implementation plans available for larger or budget-staged projects
Custom Landscape Design
A beautifully designed planting plan transforms a landscape from a collection of plants into a cohesive, living composition. Our planting designs are developed around your specific site conditions — sun exposure, soil type, moisture levels, and existing plant material — and your personal aesthetic preferences. We design for year-round interest, incorporating spring bloomers, summer color, fall foliage, and winter structure so your landscape is never without beauty, regardless of the season.
- Trees, ornamental shrubs, perennials, and native plant selections
- Designs developed for year-round seasonal interest and color
- Native and pollinator-friendly plant options available
- Mixed border designs with layered height and texture
- All plants sourced from proven Minnesota wholesale growers
- Proper plant spacing for long-term health and mature coverage
Planting & Garden Design
The hardscape elements of a landscape — patios, pathways, garden walls, steps, and outdoor living features — provide the structure and usability that make an outdoor space truly livable. Sunset Landscaping LLC designs and installs hardscape in natural stone, concrete paver, and decorative block that complements your home's architecture and stands up to Minnesota's demanding climate. Every hardscape installation begins with proper base preparation and drainage engineering to ensure it performs as beautifully in year twenty as it does on day one.
- Natural stone and concrete paver patio design and installation
- Garden walls, raised beds, and decorative stone borders
- Pathways, steps, and entry court designs
- Outdoor living features including fire pits and seating areas
- Drainage engineering integrated into every hardscape plan
- Materials selected for Minnesota frost resistance and longevity
Hardscape Design & Installation
Not every Edina property needs to start from scratch. Many of our most impactful projects have involved thoughtfully renovating and enhancing an existing landscape — removing overgrown or underperforming plant material, introducing new planting compositions, refreshing hardscape elements, and adding the focused design touches that elevate a good landscape into a great one. If your current landscape no longer reflects the quality of your home or the life you live in it, a targeted renovation may be exactly what it needs.
- Existing plant inventory and condition assessment
- Selective removal of overgrown, diseased, or misplaced plant material
- New planting compositions introduced within existing framework
- Hardscape repair, refresh, or extension
- Mulch, edging, and bed renovation for a polished, finished appearance
- Seasonal refresh programs available on an annual basis

HOW WE WORK
Our Design & Installation Process
Sunset Landscaping LLC follows a disciplined, client-centered design process that ensures every Edina project is thoroughly planned, clearly communicated, and expertly executed. We believe the design phase is where the most important work happens — and we invest the time and creative energy necessary to produce plans that are both beautiful and completely right for your specific property and goals.
Step I
Design Consultation & Site Assessment
We begin with an on-site meeting at your Edina property. We walk the entire site together, taking measurements and evaluating soil, drainage, sun exposure, and existing plant material. Most importantly, we listen — to your goals, your aesthetic preferences, your lifestyle, your maintenance expectations, and your vision for the space. This conversation is the foundation of everything that follows, and we give it the time it deserves.
- Full on-site property walk and measurement
- Soil, drainage, sun, and grade assessment
- In-depth discussion of design goals and lifestyle needs
- Review of existing plant material — preserve, renovate, or remove
Step II
Custom Design
Plan & Proposal
Within one week of your consultation, we deliver a custom landscape design plan and a detailed written proposal. Your design plan includes a professionally drawn planting layout, a complete plant schedule with species and sizes, hardscape design, and any drainage or grading recommendations. The accompanying proposal itemizes every element of the project with firm, guaranteed pricing — so you know exactly what you are getting before you commit to anything.
- Professionally developed landscape design plan
- Complete plant schedule with species, sizes, and quantities
- Itemized proposal with firm, guaranteed pricing
- Phasing options available for larger or multi-season projects
Step III
Site Preparation
Before any new plant material is installed, we prepare the site with the thoroughness that a premium landscape deserves. We remove unwanted vegetation, amend soil where required, address any grading or drainage issues, and complete all hardscape work before the planting phase begins. This sequence — preparation before planting — is one of the most important factors in the long-term success and beauty of the finished landscape.
- Selective clearing and removal of unwanted vegetation
- Soil amendment and bed preparation tailored to plant selections
- Grading and drainage corrections prior to installation
- All hardscape elements completed before planting begins
Step IV
Installation, Cleanup & Follow-Up
Installation is where the design comes to life, and we approach it with the same care and attention to detail that went into the plan. Trees, shrubs, and perennials are placed precisely per the design, properly installed at the correct depth and spacing, and finished with mulch, edging, and any decorative stone. We complete a thorough site cleanup, conduct a final walkthrough with you to review every element, and provide written care instructions for your new plants. We also schedule a follow-up visit at the end of the first growing season to check on plant establishment and address any questions.
- Precise installation per the approved landscape design plan
- Mulch, edging, and decorative stone finished and detailed
- Complete site cleanup — zero debris or packaging left behind
- Final walkthrough, plant care guide, and follow-up visit included
What Homeowners Say About Us
Our reputation in the Edina community has been built over 18 years of consistently excellent work — one property at a time. The following reviews reflect the experience our clients have when they partner with Sunset Landscaping LLC for their landscape design and installation projects. We are proud of the trust this community has placed in us, and we work every day to earn it on every project we take on.
"Sunset Landscaping redesigned our entire front and back yard after we completed a home renovation. The design they produced was genuinely stunning — it looked like something from a high-end landscape architecture firm, but the pricing was fair and the communication throughout the process was excellent. Two seasons in, everything is thriving and the property looks better every month."
- Robert & Anne P., Edina, MN — Full Property Landscape Design & Installation
"We had worked with two other landscape companies over the years and were always disappointed — beautiful initial results that didn't hold up, or designs that looked generic and never really fit our home. Sunset was completely different. They clearly understood our house, our neighborhood, and what we were trying to achieve. The finished landscape feels like it has always been there — in the best possible way."
- Catherine M., Edina, MN — Landscape Renovation & Planting Design
"The design consultation alone was worth the call. The owner spent nearly two hours walking our property with us, asked questions no other company had thought to ask, and came back with a plan that solved problems we didn't even know we had — including a drainage issue that had been quietly undermining our existing plantings for years. The installation was flawless and the follow-up was prompt and professional."

Common Questions
How does the landscape design process work at Sunset Landscaping LLC?
We begin with a free on-site design consultation at your Edina property. We walk the entire site with you, assess soil and drainage conditions, and have an in-depth conversation about your goals, your style, and your lifestyle. Within one week, we deliver a custom landscape design plan and a detailed written proposal. Once approved, we schedule installation and manage the entire process through to a final walkthrough and follow-up visit.
How long does a landscape design and installation project take?
Timeline varies based on project scope. A focused planting bed installation may be completed in one to two days. A comprehensive full-property design and installation typically takes one to two weeks for the installation phase, following the design and approval process. We provide a firm project schedule in your proposal so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.
What is the best time of year for landscape installation in Minnesota?
Spring and early fall are the ideal installation windows for most landscape projects in Minnesota. Spring installation allows new plants to establish through the full growing season. Fall installation — particularly for trees, shrubs, and perennials — gives root systems time to settle before the ground freezes, resulting in vigorous growth the following spring. We work from late April through mid-October and are happy to advise on the optimal timing for your specific project.
How much does premium landscape design cost in Edina?
Landscape design and installation investment varies widely based on project scope, plant selections, hardscape elements, and site conditions. Focused planting renovations may begin in the low thousands, while comprehensive full-property design and installation projects for Edina properties often represent a significantly larger investment. Every project receives a detailed, itemized written proposal with firm pricing — contact us for a free design consultation and we will provide an honest, thorough estimate.
