Hardscape contractor — patios, driveways & retaining walls — Bloomington, MN
See our work →Bloomington homeowners who want hardscape that holds its value
Bloomington is the Twin Cities' fifth-largest city — a dense, well-established suburb with a mix of 1960s and 70s neighborhoods near the Minnesota River, mid-century homes along the Nine Mile Creek corridor, and a growing base of properties ripe for hardscape upgrades. Heritage Outdoors serves Bloomington as the natural connector between our Edina and Burnsville work — same crew, same standards, right in the middle of the metro.
Bloomington's terrain has real character — the Minnesota River bluff in the south, Nine Mile Creek running through the middle of the city, and residential lots that often have more grade change than homeowners expect when they start planning. Retaining walls, boulder walls, and properly drained patios are the right answer to a lot of Bloomington's outdoor space challenges. We design for the site, not against it.
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
Bloomington hardscape questions we hear often
How much does a paver patio cost in Bloomington, MN?
Paver patios in Bloomington 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 Bloomington, MN?
Paver driveways in Bloomington 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 Bloomington, MN?
Block retaining walls in Bloomington 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 or patio in Bloomington, MN?
Bloomington requires a permit for retaining walls over 4 feet in height. Freestanding patios generally do not require a permit unless attached to the home. Properties near the Minnesota River corridor may be subject to additional setback requirements. Heritage Outdoors checks all City of Bloomington permit requirements before work begins.
Why do pavers outperform concrete in Bloomington'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.
