CUSTOM ONE LANDSCAPING
SOFTSCAPES
Plant-First Softscapes That Thrive in the Twin Cities
From starting fresh at a new build to refreshing an existing yard, our Custom One Landscaping Softscape Team designs and installs plantings that elevate your home’s curb appeal and outdoor living spaces. We select the right trees, shrubs, perennials, and groundcovers to match your site conditions, then install them with expert soil preparation and irrigation so they flourish through every season.
Designed for Your Site
We evaluate sun and shade, wind, drainage, and soils—and recommend plant varieties that fit your microclimate and lifestyle. Prefer low-maintenance? We’ll prioritize hardy, drought-tolerant selections. Want color all season? We’ll layer bloom times and foliage interest so something always looks great.
Seamless with Your Hardscape
Our softscapes complement patios, walkways, pool decks, and outdoor kitchens. Our designers coordinate plant forms, colors, and bed lines with your stone and wood elements so everything feels intentional and beautifully balanced.
The Gertens Advantage
Every project begins on the strongest possible footing—literally. That’s why we partner with Gertens, one of Minnesota’s most trusted garden centers and growers. Their horticultural expertise and beautiful plant selections ensure your landscape gets the best from day one.
