Having practiced Landscape Architecture in the Twin Cities for more than 16 years, Ben Erickson, Founder of b.e. landscape designs, started his career at CLOSE Landscape Architecture before establishing his own business in 2012. Our expertise covers both commercial and residential projects, and since 2017, we are pleased to include installation as one of our services. Contact us for your next project requirement, and we will be glad to assist you. I derive the most satisfaction from witnessing a project's transition from the "design" stage to the "installation" phase, and involving the client in the process.

The duo of Ben and Carlos excelled in their work. We had a time-sensitive project that demanded high-quality output. They completed the installation of rock and landscaping within the stipulated time and budget, and the end result is splendid. Moreover, they went beyond their basic duties and cleaned up the grass left behind by the garbage man as well as repaired a faulty sprinkler head. This demonstrated their professionalism, excellent work ethic, and top-notch skills.

B.E. Landscape Designs performed exceptionally!
Undertaking a home project proved to be too challenging for me to complete alone. In preparation for a shed installation, I attempted to remove mulch and a tree stump, while flattening my yard. This endeavor proved futile and I became stressed as the shed's delivery date rapidly approached.
Thankfully, I contacted Ben from B.E. and he managed to squeeze me in his schedule just in time. Carlos and his team worked wonders, eliminating all debris, smoothing the terrain, and even adding gravel to the area. The outcome was beyond my expectations, and I have included some pictures to showcase their impressive work.
I was so astounded that I've already compiled a list of future projects I can entrust to them for next spring. Thank you, Ben, Carlos, and the rest of the crew!

Our landscape project was executed superbly by Ben and his crew. They came up with excellent ideas and designed an appealing solution for our steep terraced slope. Despite facing some obstacles while transporting large boulders in a confined space, they handled everything with creative professionalism and prioritized safety. Without hesitation, I would wholeheartedly recommend Ben and his team!

We engaged Ben Erickson and his team to remedy a prior landscaping project completed by the previous homeowners years ago. Although it was a small, intricate job, we were thoroughly impressed by Ben's professionalism and the caliber of his work.
Due to settlement, our patio area was unevenly sloped towards our home's new addition, resulting in rainwater accumulating on the stone surface – a situation far from ideal. However, Ben's crew displayed their expertise by re-grading the patio and catch basin system to divert runoff away from the house, while leaving the stone patio and wooden porch untouched. Tackling unexpected issues that cropped up during the project was no obstacle for Ben and his crew, who adeptly solved them to meet the project's objectives.
We heartily endorse Ben for other landscaping needs and look forward to partnering with his company on future projects.

What Ben & Carlos did for us is simply remarkable. Initially, Ben collaborated with us to create a design and made necessary changes during the project. Carlos and his team, who were responsible for the laborious tasks, were exceptional.
