Our Landscape Design Services
Free Design Consultation
Every project begins with a complimentary consultation where you share your goals, explore creative options, and receive professional guidance. This initial step ensures alignment, clarity, and confidence before selecting a design package, creating the foundation for a smooth, collaborative, and successful design process.
2D Design Packages
We provide professional 2D design packages in partnership with True North Designs LLC, tailored to the scale of your project. Plans include clear visuals, accurate measurements, and practical layouts, helping guide installation effectively. Whether for small residential spaces or expansive properties, these packages bring precision and structure.
Scaled Plans for Residential Projects
Our scaled residential plans help homeowners visualize gardens, patios, lighting, and gathering spaces with clarity. Each drawing transforms ideas into actionable layouts, ensuring every feature enhances functionality and style. By mapping designs precisely, these plans provide a reliable blueprint for creating inviting and long-lasting outdoor environments.
Commercial Landscape Planning
Commercial properties benefit from comprehensive designs that balance aesthetics and efficiency. Plans account for walkways, green areas, and exterior features while prioritizing accessibility and traffic flow. This service ensures businesses receive professional layouts that are functional, welcoming, and adaptable to future needs, delivering spaces that support growth.
Revision and Adjustment Services
Design is a collaborative journey, and revisions ensure the final plan aligns perfectly with your vision. Adjustments allow for refinements, additions, or changes that improve practicality and style. Transparent pricing keeps revisions simple, while this flexible process guarantees the outcome reflects both creative intent and functional requirements.

Benefits of Professional Landscape Design
Increased Property Value
A thoughtfully designed landscape adds long-term financial value by enhancing curb appeal and creating functional outdoor living areas. Buyers are more likely to pay premium prices for homes or businesses with well-planned yards, gardens, and green spaces. Professional design ensures your investment delivers measurable returns over time.
Functional Outdoor Living
Landscape design isn’t only about looks—it’s about usability. By mapping out walkways, patios, and gathering spaces, design brings structure and flow to your property. This results in outdoor areas that can be enjoyed daily, whether for family time, entertaining, or quiet relaxation.
Efficient Use of Space
A professional design ensures every square foot of your property is used effectively. From maximizing small residential yards to organizing large commercial sites, design planning helps balance beauty with purpose. The result is a layout where nothing feels wasted or out of place.
Long-Term Cost Savings
Without proper planning, outdoor projects often require expensive corrections later. Landscape design reduces these risks by providing clear direction before installation begins. By aligning the placement of plants, hardscape, and utilities in advance, you save on rework, energy use, and ongoing maintenance costs.
Environmental Benefits
A well-executed design supports sustainability through water-efficient plant choices, erosion control, and strategic shading. Proper planning reduces waste while promoting healthier soil and ecosystems. Designs tailored to your climate also help conserve resources, protecting the environment while creating spaces that remain attractive year-round.
Personalization and Creativity
Landscape design transforms your personal vision into reality. With professional guidance, your ideas are elevated into cohesive, creative plans. Whether you dream of a modern retreat, a classic garden, or a family-friendly backyard, design services ensure your outdoor space is uniquely yours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is professional landscape design important before starting a project?
Professional design ensures your outdoor project is planned with efficiency and foresight. It reduces costly errors, balances beauty with function, and provides a clear blueprint for installation. This structured approach creates cohesive, lasting landscapes that reflect your vision while meeting long-term goals effectively.
Do you provide free design consultations?
Yes, we offer a complimentary consultation to every property owner. This step allows us to learn about your goals, assess your property’s needs, and provide professional insights before you choose a design package. It’s a no-obligation opportunity to start your project with expert guidance.
What’s the difference between residential and commercial design packages?
Residential designs focus on enhancing curb appeal, creating functional backyards, and improving everyday enjoyment. Commercial plans are larger in scale and prioritize efficient layouts, visitor experience, and property accessibility. Both provide detailed 2D plans tailored to property needs, ensuring results are practical and aesthetically pleasing.
Can I make changes to the design after the first draft?
Yes, revisions are part of the process. Adjustments can be made to refine details, add elements, or modify layouts. Each revision is priced transparently, ensuring flexibility without compromising project timelines. This collaborative approach ensures your design matches both your preferences and practical needs.
How long does the landscape design process take?
Timelines vary based on property size and package selection. Smaller residential projects may be completed in a matter of weeks, while larger commercial designs may require additional time. Our goal is always to deliver accurate, thoughtful plans within a reasonable and transparent timeframe.
Do you handle installation, or just the design?
Our primary focus is on design services. However, we provide installation coordination support, connecting you with trusted contractors who can bring the plan to life. This ensures your design is executed correctly and transitions seamlessly from paper to the finished outdoor environment.
Are your designs customized, or do you use templates?
Every design is customized to fit the property, budget, and lifestyle of each client. While certain best practices apply across projects, we never use templates. Each plan is unique, ensuring your landscape reflects your personal style and meets your functional needs effectively.
How does the weather in Minnesota affect design choices?
Minnesota’s climate requires careful selection of plants, materials, and layouts. Designs account for seasonal changes, snow management, and durability against harsh winters. By tailoring designs to local conditions, we ensure your landscape thrives throughout the year, maintaining beauty and function in every season.

Testimonials
We had spoken to several people about quotes for new sod and Brandon from You Betcha Outdoor Services was extremely responsive and gave us a very fair price. Brandon gave us timeline and not only met it but was done earlier than quoted. The job was done professionally and we couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend You Betcha Outdoor Services and will be using them again for our next job.
David O.
Brandon and his team were very helpful in designing and follow through on my entire project. Very happy with my annual garden refresh, new steppers installed and a small water feature to finish out our existing patio. He was even able to make a last minute addition of 20 trees to our empty extra lot. Very respectful crew. My family and I really appreciate that.
