At Pierson Garden and Landscape, every project begins with a thorough site assessment and custom design. Our experienced team understands the nuances of landscape design in Minnesota, including climate, soil types, and native flora like MN native shade plants and native shrubs for shade. We blend this expertise with your vision to create a stylish and sustainable patio.
