Landscaping & Custom Outdoor Living Company in White Bear Lake, MN
On the historic shores of White Bear Lake, Home & Grounds builds custom outdoor living spaces made for lakeside living. Our design-build team comes east from our Blaine base to bring your whole yard to life.
Custom Outdoor Spaces Built for White Bear Lake Homeowners
White Bear Lake pairs a walkable historic downtown with lakeshore homes that have drawn families for generations. Home & Grounds helps Ramsey County homeowners here build outdoor spaces worthy of that setting, whether your yard faces Manitou Island, sits on a quiet side street, or backs to the woods near Bald Eagle Lake.
Every project starts with a real conversation and a 3D design, so you can see the finished space before we break ground. From lakeside gathering areas to a private garden retreat, we build patios, fire features, and outdoor water features to look right and hold up through every hard Minnesota winter.
Lakeside lots come with their own puzzles, from sloped shorelines to mature trees and tight setbacks near the water. We plan each project around your grade, drainage, and views, then layer in the stonework, plantings, and lighting that turn a great location into an outdoor space your family will use all year.
Outdoor Kitchens
Lake days call for cooking and eating outside, close to the water. We design and build custom outdoor kitchens for White Bear Lake homes, with weatherproof counters, built-in grills, and storage sized to your space, so you can host friends after a day on the lake without missing a beat.
Outdoor Fire Features
Long after Labor Day, an evening by the fire keeps the lakeside season going. We build custom fire pits and fireplaces for White Bear Lake homeowners, from sleek gas bowls to full stone hearths, giving your family a warm place to watch the light fade over the water each night.
Outdoor Water Features
In a town defined by its lake, a water feature feels perfectly at home. We design and install waterfalls, ponds, and streams for White Bear Lake yards, tuned to your space and engineered to run cleanly all Minnesota season, so moving water carries softly through your garden year after year.
Patio Design & Installation
A well-built patio is the anchor of any lakeside yard. We handle patio design and installation for White Bear Lake homes using pavers, natural stone, and concrete set over a base built for our freeze-thaw winters, so your surface stays level, drains cleanly, and looks sharp many seasons from now.
Retaining Walls
Sloped shorelines and hilly lots around White Bear Lake often need real structure to stay put. We build engineered retaining walls that hold back soil, manage runoff toward the lake, and carve out level, usable ground, blending strength and clean design so the wall reads as part of the landscape.
Custom Hardscapes
From walkways and steps to seating walls, pillars, and fire-and-water combinations, hardscape gives a yard its structure. We craft hardscapes for White Bear Lake homes, matching stone and paver work to your architecture and the historic lakeside setting, so every detail feels intentional and lasts through decades of Minnesota weather.
About Home & Grounds
Home & Grounds is a design-build outdoor living company based in Blaine, serving White Bear Lake and the Northern Twin Cities. We are not a crew that vanishes after one job; we partner with homeowners to build spaces that feel like an extension of the home, then stand behind them for years.
Our team handles everything in-house, from the first 3D design through the final plantings and patio design and installation. That means clear communication, honest timelines, and one accountable crew from start to finish, whether we are refreshing a compact city lot downtown or reworking a full lakeshore property on White Bear Lake.
What drives us is simple: we want White Bear Lake families to love their 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.
