See our work →Apple Valley homeowners who want hardscape that holds up
Apple Valley is one of the most established communities in the Dakota County south metro — 55,000+ residents, a well-maintained housing stock spanning the 1970s through today, and homeowners who take their properties seriously. Heritage Outdoors works throughout the south metro and serves Apple Valley as the natural extension of our Burnsville and Eagan work. Same crew, same standards, same results.
Apple Valley sits between Lebanon Hills Regional Park and the Minnesota Zoo — terrain that has real character, with sloped lots, wooded corridors, and properties that benefit from thoughtful retaining and hardscape work. The city also has a large inventory of homes from the 1970s and 80s where original concrete and timber work is approaching end of life. Paver replacements and boulder or block wall rebuilds are a significant part of what we do here.
Heritage Outdoors is a family operation. Jacob and Haven are involved in every project from the first call to the final walkthrough. You're not hiring a company that sends a crew you've never met. You're hiring us.

What makes us different from every other contractor
Apple Valley hardscape questions we hear often
How much does a paver patio cost in Apple Valley, MN?
Paver patios in Apple Valley typically run $35–$50+ per square foot installed. A 400 square foot patio ranges from $14,000–$22,000+ depending on material, design complexity, and site conditions. Heritage Outdoors provides transparent, itemized estimates with no surprises.
How much does a paver driveway cost in Apple Valley, MN?
Paver driveways in Apple Valley typically run $35–$50+ per square foot installed. A standard two-car driveway ranges from $18,000–$35,000+ depending on size, material choice, and site conditions.
How much does a retaining wall or boulder wall cost in Apple Valley, MN?
Block retaining walls in Apple Valley run $55–$70 per square foot installed. Boulder walls run $40–$100+ per square foot depending on height, boulder size, and site access. Heritage Outdoors sources boulders direct from Minnesota quarries — no middleman markup.
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Apple Valley, MN?
Apple Valley requires a permit for retaining walls over 4 feet in height. Freestanding patios generally do not require a permit unless attached to the home or affecting drainage. Heritage Outdoors checks all City of Apple Valley permit requirements before work begins.
Why do pavers outperform concrete in Apple Valley's climate?
Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycle destroys poured concrete over time — cracking and heaving that can't be effectively patched. Individual pavers flex with ground movement and can be reset if a section shifts. A concrete driveway that cracks needs full replacement. A paver driveway that shifts gets reset, often in an afternoon.
