At Great Goats Landscaping, the design process is a collaborative process. Owner and Designer Mike Olson meets with each client, personally, to gather information about the proposed project. Is there a problem that needs to be solved? What are our design goals? We discuss client landscaping likes and dislikes. The end result is a design that is beautifully unique to both the client and the site. We love to meet and discuss your desires, your ideas, your objectives and design a project that works within your budget.

Ponds & Water Features

Report

Water features in your landscape can add a whole new dimension of beauty. Imagine a variety of plants, weeping willows and variously sized boulders with fast trickling water. Let us design and build a pond or water feature that paints a perfect scene. We have experience creating ponds, streams, waterfalls and bubbling boulders.

Retaining Walls

Report

Sometimes your landscape needs a retaining wall to transition elevations. Whether it's a small, raised planting bed or a major structure, retaining walls can be beautiful accents to your landscape.

Patios

Report

Patios aren't just for the backyard anymore. We've built some wonderful patios and sitting areas in the front yard, usually near the front door, where you can sit and enjoy watching the children play. We'd love to customize a patio for your needs.

Backyard Landscaping

Report

The backyard is a playground, a place for fun and entertainment, a place for family and friends to make memories, a place to unwind and relax. We can work together to build your dream landscape and turn your backyard into the most comfortable room you've ever known.

Frontyard Landscapes

Report

The frontyard landscape is the first thing people see, whether driving by or pulling into the driveway. Most importantly, it's what you see each time you come home. Let us help you create a frontyard landscape that reflects your appreciation for beauty.

Great Goats did a phenomenal job on my retaining wall! Mike came out and checked out my existing wall and determined what the problem was that caused it to fail. He determined that I did not have the proper drainage and that is why it failed. He and his guys were very professional and completed everything on time and the cleanup was tremendous. While Great Goats is not the cheapest out there when it comes to retaining walls, they definitely are the best choice in the Twin Cities.

We are so pleased with the quality of workmanship on the retaining wall Mike did for us last autumn (2016). We are even happier about his creative solution approach. He was very easy to work and communicate with. 10/10 would hire again. Plus, goats are a great mascot!

Mike was prompt and helpful. Prices seemed reasonable to other bids we received. Our work was done in the fall, so we are excited to see the beautiful results this spring!

Mike and team worked with me on my walk out patio to achieve the best design possible. The work was excellent and I have enjoyed working with Great Goats.
