Case Studies

A home located in Golden Valley, needed to solve a water damage issue from an intrusion problem into their finished basement.

The client hired KG Landscape to create a refreshing landscape design that would better align with the character of the house.  This mid century modern front yard landscape was accomplished by first redesigning the hardscape elements to compliment the house. 

The homeowners have had water issues in their backyard for many years. Especially during spring melting, the water in the backyard has collected and pooled on their patio and in their backyard. They called us looking for drainage help with this water pooling issue.

The homeowners built a new garage on their property in Chaska. The new garage was built with two sides of it facing  a pretty steep hill. When it would rain, the rain would run down the hill towards the garage and could cause major issues for this new investment.
