Local Experts Bringing the Habitat Gardening Movement to the Twin Cities

At Open Space Gardens, we strive to be more than just another landscaping business. We’re a mission-driven company that works hard to promote–and practice–sustainability across everything we do, whether that’s emphasizing native plants over lawns for habitat, using only manual power and quiet electric-powered tools, or avoiding the use of unhealthy and polluting chemicals around your homes and families.  We serve both residential and commercial clients in Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN and surrounding cities who care about the environment and want to invest in landscapes that reflect their values.

Landscaping Services That Connect Your Yard With Nature

Throughout the Twin Cities area, Open Space Gardens designs and maintains sustainable landscapes that support pollinators, enrich soil, and bring peace of mind to eco-conscious property owners. We specialize in transforming traditional turf-heavy yards into beautiful, low-impact outdoor spaces using native plants, compost-enriched soil, and electric or hand tools that are as quiet as they are effective. Every element of your landscape is intentionally chosen to support pollinators, conserve resources, eliminate harmful chemicals and thrive in Minnesota’s unique climate.

From the historic homes of Summit Hill to the vibrant blocks of Northeast Minneapolis, we’re proud to support a community that cares about sustainability. Our clients aren’t looking for cookie-cutter turf grass, they want spaces that support biodiversity, encourage pollinators, and provide long-term ecological value while also bringing beauty and value to their property. They’re people who understand that their landscape is more than something to look at; it’s part of a larger connected ecosystem. Whether you’re seeding a diverse bee lawn, converting your boulevard into a pollinator garden, growing your own food, or converting turf grass into a native habitat, we’ll help you create a landscape that’s both functional and meaningful, one that reflects your commitment to the planet and grows more resilient every season.
