Hardscape contractor — boulder walls, natural stone & outdoor living — Lake Minnetonka Area, MN
See our work →Lake Minnetonka — where hardscape has to earn its place
The Lake Minnetonka area communities — Orono, Deephaven, Shorewood, Medina, and Wayzata — represent some of the highest-value residential real estate in the Twin Cities metro. Median household incomes ranging from $170,000 to over $219,000. Properties where the outdoor hardscape is as important as the interior finish work. Heritage Outdoors has built directly at the Wayzata Country Club and has an established presence throughout the west metro lake corridor.
Hardscape in Lake Minnetonka communities has to look like it belongs. Natural boulder walls that follow lakeside grade, stone steps that provide access without imposing on the shoreline character, patios oriented toward the water with materials that age gracefully in the lake environment. Generic suburban hardscape — uniform manufactured pavers, standard block walls — looks wrong on these properties. We build with the setting in mind, always.
Heritage Outdoors is a family operation. Jacob and Haven are on every project from the first call to the final walkthrough. On properties of this value, you want the owner present. We always are.
Lake Minnetonka hardscape — built for the setting
Direct work in the Lake Minnetonka corridor — built for this setting
Heritage Outdoors built directly at Wayzata Country Club — boulder walls and cut stone steps for a golf course renovation — and has established projects throughout the adjacent west metro corridor.



Lake Minnetonka properties demand the highest standard
"The Wayzata Country Club project — boulder walls and cut stone steps for a golf course renovation — is one of our most demanding and most satisfying projects. Late November, fighting frost on the last day, boulder walls built right. That's what Heritage Outdoors brings to the Lake Minnetonka corridor."
— Jacob, Heritage Outdoors

How much does a boulder wall cost on a Lake Minnetonka property?

What materials are best for Lake Minnetonka hardscape?
Natural stone — fieldstone boulders, cut limestone, bluestone — integrates with lake environments far better than manufactured alternatives.

Heritage Outdoors recommends materials based on each specific site and homeowner preference.
