Hardscape contractor — boulder walls, patios & driveways — Minnetonka, MN
See our work →Minnetonka properties deserve hardscape that fits the landscape
Minnetonka is one of the most naturally beautiful suburbs in the Twin Cities — wooded lots, rolling terrain, and proximity to Lake Minnetonka create properties where the outdoor space is as important as the home itself. Heritage Outdoors has worked right next door in Wayzata, including at the Wayzata Country Club, and knows this corridor and its demands intimately.
Minnetonka's topography — significant elevation changes, mature oak and maple canopy, creek drainages, and properties that slope toward the lake — creates strong natural demand for boulder walls, tiered retaining systems, and natural stone work that integrates with the surrounding landscape. We do this work with sourced-direct fieldstone boulders, proper drainage engineering behind every wall, and designs that complement the natural character of the property.
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.

Minnetonka properties have specific challenges
"The Lake Minnetonka corridor is where we've done some of our best work. The terrain demands it and the homeowners expect it. We built the tee box walls at Wayzata Country Club in November — fighting frost on the last day. That's what it takes to work out here, and we're ready for it."

What makes us different from every other contractor
Minnetonka hardscape questions we hear often
How much does a paver patio cost in Minnetonka, MN?
Paver patios in Minnetonka 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 boulder wall cost in Minnetonka, MN?
Boulder walls in Minnetonka typically run $40–$100+ per square foot depending on wall height, boulder size, and site access. Minnetonka's sloped lots near Lake Minnetonka often require tiered boulder systems. Heritage Outdoors sources boulders direct from Minnesota quarries — no middleman markup.
Are boulder walls or block retaining walls better for Minnetonka's sloped lots?
Both work well in Minnetonka — the right choice depends on the specific site. Boulder walls suit naturalistic settings, curved grades, and early or late season installs — no concrete, no polymeric sand. Block systems like Versa-Lok are better for taller engineered walls requiring geo grid and drain tile. Heritage Outdoors builds both and recommends the right option for your specific lot.
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Minnetonka, MN?
Minnetonka requires a permit for retaining walls over 4 feet in height. Walls under 4 feet typically don't require a permit, though surcharge load from a driveway or structure above can lower that threshold. Heritage Outdoors checks all City of Minnetonka permit requirements before work begins.
How much does a paver driveway cost in Minnetonka, MN?
Paver driveways in Minnetonka 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.
