Landscaping & Custom Outdoor Living Company in Ham Lake, MN
For Ham Lake homeowners on big wooded lots and lakeside acreage, Home & Grounds builds custom outdoor living spaces designed for how you live outside. We are based next door in Blaine, just up Highway 65.
Custom Outdoor Spaces Built for Ham Lake Homeowners
Ham Lake keeps its semi-rural feel, with sprawling yards, mature trees, and water everywhere you look across Anoka County. Home & Grounds helps homeowners here make the most of that space, designing outdoor rooms that suit a large lot near the sod farms as easily as a lakeside parcel off Highway 65.
Every project begins with a real conversation and a 3D design, so you can picture the finished space before we break ground. Whether you want full outdoor kitchens for summer gatherings or a quiet corner to unwind, we build every element to look right and hold up through hard Minnesota winters.
Because Ham Lake properties often mean big yards, low spots, and shoreline to work around, grading and drainage matter from day one. We plan each project around how water moves across your land, then layer in the patios, walls, plantings, and lighting that turn that acreage into space your family actually uses.
Outdoor Kitchens
With the kind of elbow room Ham Lake yards offer, an outdoor kitchen becomes the natural heart of summer. We design and build custom cooking spaces with durable counters, built-in grills, and smart storage, so you can feed a crowd on the patio without running back to the indoor stove.
Outdoor Fire Features
This far north, evenings turn cool quickly, and a fire feature stretches your outdoor season for months. We build fire pits and fireplaces for Ham Lake homes, from simple gas bowls to full stone hearths, giving your family a warm place to gather under the Anoka County sky past sunset.
Outdoor Water Features
On lots that already border lakes and wetlands, a water feature feels right at home in Ham Lake. We design and install waterfalls, ponds, and streams that echo the natural landscape, engineered to run cleanly and reliably through every Minnesota season, so moving water becomes part of your everyday backyard.
Patio Design & Installation
A solid patio anchors the backyard, and on big Ham Lake lots there is room to do it right. We handle patio design and installation using pavers, stone, and concrete set over a base built for our freeze-thaw winters, so your surface stays level, drains well, and lasts for years.
Retaining Walls
Ham Lake's rolling, wooded lots and low, wet areas often call for real structure and grading. We build engineered retaining walls that hold back soil, manage runoff, and turn awkward slopes into level, usable ground, combining strength with clean lines so it looks like a planned part of your landscape.
Custom Hardscapes
From walkways and steps to seating walls, pillars, and fire-and-water combinations, hardscape gives an outdoor space its backbone. We craft hardscapes for Ham Lake homes, matching stone and paver work to your property and surroundings, so every path and wall feels intentional and stands up to decades of Minnesota weather.

What drives us is simple: we want Ham Lake families to love spending time at home, right down to the backyard. Every patio, wall, and fire feature we build rests on trust, reliability, and craftsmanship, because your outdoor space should be beautiful, functional, and made to last for many years to come.
