Transform Your Yard with a Beautiful Patio
Your yard can be more than just grass and landscaping – it can be your personal outdoor retreat. With a professionally built patio, you can enjoy the changing seasons, entertain friends, and create a space that truly complements your home. At Dean Bjorkstrand Landscaping, we have years of experience designing and installing patios that are both beautiful and functional. Dean and our team take pride in every project, making sure your patio is built to last through Minnesota’s challenging weather.
Designed for Your Home and Lifestyle
We know that a great patio does more than look nice. It needs to work with the natural landscape of your home. That’s why we plan every patio carefully, working around trees, plantings, and existing features you want to keep. Dean ensures every surface is level, free from bumps, and safe for you, your family, and your guests. We specialize in terraces, steps, green spaces, water features, and connections to decks or pools, giving you endless possibilities for your backyard or front yard.
Wide Selection of Materials
Choosing the right materials is essential. We offer a wide range of stone and paver options, and we know how to install them with the proper base to ensure durability. Our techniques prevent standing water, shifting, and uneven surfaces over time. Whether you prefer stone, brick, concrete, or other materials, we select what’s best for your design and your local climate.
Expert Planning and Installation
Let us guide the design of your patio and outdoor space. Dean and our team create a comprehensive plan that highlights your yard’s best features and meets your lifestyle needs. Once the design is approved, we handle the installation with precision. Every step follows best practices, ensuring a finished patio that’s as durable as it is beautiful, able to withstand Minnesota’s harsh winters and hot, humid summers.
Built for the Twin Cities Climate
Minneapolis–Saint Paul experiences some of the coldest winters in the country and hot, humid summers. Snow, ice, heavy rain, and temperature swings can damage poorly constructed patios. Dean knows exactly how to build patios that resist frost heave, water pooling, and shifting, ensuring your outdoor space remains level and safe year after year.
Prevent Winter Damage
Winter in the Twin Cities can be extreme. Average lows in January reach −9 °F (−23 °C), with record lows near −41 °F. Snow and ice put extra stress on patios and decks. Professional construction prevents cracking, warping, and water damage. Using proper footings, frost-resistant bases, and correct drainage, we protect your investment and give you peace of mind.
Durable and Weather-Resistant
Beyond winter, summer weather also tests patios. Hot temperatures, high humidity, and UV exposure can cause materials to fade, expand, or grow mold. Dean and our team select materials that handle heat, moisture, and sun, so your patio looks great and stays strong through every season. We may also add shade structures or pergolas to reduce sun damage and make your patio comfortable in summer.
Protection from Flooding and Storms
The Twin Cities is prone to heavy rain, flash floods, and occasional severe storms. Without proper grading, drainage, and base preparation, patios can settle, crack, or flood. Dean’s expertise ensures your patio is properly sloped and anchored, with drainage channels that prevent water damage. Even in rare events like tornadoes or derechos, your patio is designed to remain safe and stable.
Low Maintenance, High Reward
A professionally built patio reduces the time you spend maintaining your yard. Stone, brick, or concrete surfaces are easy to clean, resistant to weather, and designed to last. Dean also provides guidance on seasonal care, from winter snow removal to summer sealing, so your patio continues to look its best with minimal effort.
Boost Your Home’s Value
Adding a patio is an investment in your home. A well-designed outdoor space enhances your property’s curb appeal, increases functional living space, and can even raise its resale value. Whether you plan to sell in the future or simply enjoy your yard now, a professionally installed patio makes your home more inviting and practical.
Endless Design Possibilities
Your patio should reflect your style. We help you select materials, layouts, and features that suit your taste and lifestyle. From modern minimalist designs to rustic, cozy retreats, your patio becomes an extension of your home. We can integrate lighting, water features, steps, and other custom elements to make your outdoor space truly unique.
Encourage Outdoor Living
A patio is more than just a surface – it’s a place to spend time outdoors, enjoy meals, read, or entertain. With a defined, level space, you can make the most of your yard without worrying about mud, uneven ground, or tripping hazards. It’s a perfect way to connect with nature, relax, and create lasting memories with family and friends.
