Reviews of local pros in Cologne, Minnesota

We hired Magnolia to re-landscape the front of our house and some of the back along our new deck and stairs. Katie and Tom listened to our thoughts and came up with a great plan. Since the project was done in the late Fall, we really didn’t know until the next Spring what a lot of the perennials would look like. It was so fun to watch the new plants grow and bloom as the summer progressed. The installers were very polite, careful and hard-working. Later, Katie and Tom and their crew recommended and planted some trees in our back yard. We will be using them for future projects.

Wow. We have lived in our home for 8 years and have never been able to grow grass in our backyard. Well. We have grass in our backyard. It looks great. From start to finish Magnolia Landscapes was professional and efficient. Very happy with the results. Customer service is top notch. Price was reasonable compared to other quotes. We will be booking more services for next year. Tom & Katie were easy to work with.

We, and several of our neighbors, recently had Magnolia do the landscaping for our yards - and it is BEAUTIFUL!! The designers, Katie, Tom and their team, create works of art and moreover, are a joy to work with. They listen, they are responsive, and they make every effort to accommodate our requests. We highly recommend them!!

I am so happy with how our project turned out. They were easy to work with from the initial meeting scheduling all the way through the project completion. The crew was extremely hard-working, detail-oriented and thoughtful. They even seeded parts of our lawn that weren't part of the project because they noticed bare spots. The whole experience was fantastic and I couldn't be more pleased.

We started our process with Magnolia back in February and completed our project by the end of July. They were easy to reach out to and got an initial meeting scheduled super quick. We provided a general idea of what we were looking for and a rough idea of our budget to complete the scope of work. The design, plan, and cost were so much better than we were anticipating. First, cost. Other bids for the same level of work were around 30% higher than what Magnolia bid. We worked with Tyler and in the bid he had backyard plans and a design that were to scale and showed a true plan of what work would be completed. The plan was very detailed and we were able to see a vision and make adjustments on just the plan. Magnolia created a sunken firepit with a boulder retaining wall above and below the firepit area, landscaped trees and plants to flow with the paver patio area and stone steps leading down into the sunken firepit area. Tyler even had a beautiful stone slab added as a step over the edging that matched it which we did not expect at all. We had some drainage issues with our yard and they regraded the entire backyard to allow water to flow around the sunken firepit and installed a french drain to move excess water out of the yard. They also connected 2 downspouts to the drain to allow our yard to drain perfectly from excess rain coming off of our roof. Finally, they installed a river rock bed along the back of our property with stone edging to create a break between a marsh area full of weeds to reduce the creep of thistle into our yard. We had to call out a few errors that were made along the way but Magnolia worked to make it right as fast as they could. Some drainage issues with the firepit and yard were corrected in a timely manner and there was no push back whatsoever once we raised our concerns. They absolutely worked to make it right and ensure that everything was done properly. We have more landscaping work planned in the future and are absolutely planning to go with their services again as we were happy with the price, quality of work, and timeline given to complete the work. Thanks to Tyler and Rolando for designing and completing our project!

Working with Magnolia Landscape and Design has been a delight. They listened to my ideas and worked with me to come up with a design that reflected my vision. The work was done beautifully with attention to detail. I now have an exquisite unique landscape that I can watch grow. I highly recommend Magnolia Landscape and Design.

We've worked with the Magnolia team multiple times, most recently during our move back to Minnesota. They’re consistently professional, responsive, and absolutely stand behind their work. Great design concepts and smooth execution. We especially appreciate their collaborative approach and how they welcomed our input throughout the process. Highly recommend!

Everything from start to finish was seamless with Magnolia. The design process was based on our input for certain types of trees but after that Katie, our designer, made a beautiful outline for the work to be based upon that included large rocks, a dry creek bed, and flowering perrenials. Magnolia contacted our irrigation vendor and the surveyor for utilities marking. It all came to fruition quickly once the work was started, which included a lot of hard work from the crew. Care was taken to cover the existing grass and rocks to protect them during the project. It was great not to stress about anything. Now we can enjoy the wonderful results. We highly recommend Magnolia.

Magnolia is a great option for a landscaping job. Great crew. Great design team. Loved every minute working with them. Completely transformed our space.

I would highly recommend Magnolia for any of your landscape projects. Tom and his entire team is easy to work with and highly skilled. They focus on meeting your needs and expectations as a top priority. Use them knowing you will be pleased with the final product.

Magnolia did a great job on our landscaping project. They were very easy to work with and were so accommodating throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend to those looking at outdoor projects!

Magnolia was fantastic to work with and they were honest and fair with their pricing. They were also really flexible and allowed me to do some of the things myself like edging and mulching which saved $, which was great. I was extremely happy with the product. Would highly recommend you check them out for your next landscape project.

Highly recommend! We had a 5-star experience with Tyler and crew on our recent landscaping refresh project on our property. Tyler was attentive to our ideas and concerns throughout the planning and install process. The crew was fast, yet careful, very pleasant to work with, and responsive to any tweaks requested during install.

Magnolia landscaped our new build. The process was easy and seamless. Tyler had great ideas, communication execution! Very professional! We loved our landscaping so much that we had them back a few years later to do more landscaping when we put in a back patio. The plants they put in are beautiful and fit our home well!

Due to the various positive reviews from our neighbors throughout Chevalle in Chaska, we hired Magnolia Landscaping and Design. Our goal was a large project to upgrade our front and back yard. We had drainage and runoff issues with a back hill that wouldn't grow grass.

Tom came out and assessed the property. I offered a variety of web pictures I liked. I was very interested to receive a landscape planogram from Katie, since I don't have the knowledge of plants needed.

The bid and design were easy to understand. They had no problems repurposing the plants and trees we wanted to save.

Considering this was a big project, they were able to complete it in 4 days with a very diligent crew.

We were extremely happy with the results, and it was a pleasure working with Tom and Katie. We are anxious for the plants to grow, which may take a couple of years.

Magnolia isn't just a landscaping company, but they also DESIGN your property after getting your thoughts and input.

We are so happy to have selected Magnolia Landscape as our hardscape/landscape partner! Tom and Katie brought the professional and creative insight to guide our decisions and they cared to listen every step of the way; we had true partners throughout the entire project. Just as important, it was a pleasure to engage with every member of the Magnolia team, from project team leaders to delivery drivers, everyone was kind and friendly as if our project was just as important to them as it was to us. The results are amazing, and we highly recommend Magnolia’s services!

The people at Magnolia Landscape and Design were great to work with! During our initial consultation, Katie and Thomas studied our property, listened to our ideas, and offered their input. A couple weeks later, they presented us with a proposal that incorporated everything we had talked about. Installation went smoothly. We are very pleased with the end result and would recommend Magnolia Landscape and Design to our friends and neighbors.

Amazing. Simply amazing. The before and after pictures (attached) can do the talking.

Magnolia is a great resource for your landscape projects! Tom and Katie did a fantastic job on two different projects for us! The design and execution were great and both projects finished on budget.

Our first project (2 years ago) was a front yard refresh which included a bluestone patio, plantings, and new edging. This completely transformed our front yard and has held up extremely well!

Then, we did our backyard (in the last year) - we did an entire re-do of our backyard. We had a large boulder wall that was failing and it was limiting the functionality of our yard. Tom and Katie masterfully thought through a different approach to our yard -- an outcropping vs. a straight wall. The result is simply amazing. They creatively put in boulder steps that lead to a playhouse for our kids - and leads right to a slide that is incorporated into the wall. Further, they installed beautiful edging. Last, they re-did our entire patio which has been a huge addition to our living space!

More recently (in the last few months) we did a little bit more in the backyard as our budget allowed for us to add some wish list items that Katie had originally suggested.

All of our Magnolia projects have maintained extremely well - and Magnolia has been VERY responsive to any questions or concerns that we have. They truly stand behind their work. It feels like they are equally as interested as we are in ensuring the longevity of the projects!

Magnolia was GREAT from first contact to completion. Great communication, great design suggestions all the while listening to our wishes, and very hardworking staff!! We appreciate the concern to preserve our existing landscaping when the team had to bring in large equipment and supplies.
We love the beautiful, finished product and plan to call on Magnolia again for future projects!

I hired magnolia landscaping and design to remove two bushes and a tree from the front of my yard. They did a fantastic job! Not only did he do a fantastic job, he took the time to be sure all of the roots were out so that nothing could come back. I would highly recommend them for anybody that needs a small job or a big job. I'm sure they're great either way. Attached are the photos of the before and the after.

We couldn’t be happier with our backyard and pool landscaping! This company is truly top-notch from start to finish. The quality of their work is outstanding, and the attention to detail shows in every part of our yard. Their team is professional, respectful, and incredibly hardworking — they were on time every day, communicated clearly, and kept the site clean throughout the project.

Our backyard has been completely transformed, and it turned out even better than we imagined. If you’re looking for a landscape company that delivers excellent craftsmanship and exceptional service, look no further. Highly recommended!
