Introduction

Ben Erickson, Owner, has been practicing Landscape Architecture in the Twin Cities for over 16 years, first learning the ropes at the office of CLOSE Landscape Architecture until opening b.e landscape designs in 2012. We do commercial as well as residential projects and as of 2017, b.e. landscape designs offers installation as part of its scope of services, so give us a call and let us know how we can help out with your next project. Most enjoyable part of my job is watching a project go from "design" phase to "installation", and helping the client be a part of that process.

Ben designed the plan that we had in mind. It was an unique situation ...a sloping floor in a storage area below an addition that was done years ago. The soil was excavated until we had a flat floor. Then they did landscape block work. Carlos and his crew were great. Carlos checked in with us each day to ask us if we had any concerns. The job was done in a timely manner!

Love the patio and design. This team of workers did a great job. The patio has really improved the looks of my back yard. I highly recommend this company.

B.E. Landscape Designs did a wonderful job! I started a project at home that I could not finish on my own. I was having a shed built on my property and thought I could handle removing the mulch and tree stump parts then leveling my yard myself. Big mistake. I was very worried because the shed was being delivered and built in just a couple weeks. I reached out to Ben at B.E. and he was able to get me on his schedule in time before the shed came. Carlos and his crew did an amazing job of clearing out the area and putting down gravel and leveling it for me. It was incredible. Pictures included. I was so impressed I made a list of projects that I am going to hire them for next spring! Thank you Ben and Carlos, and Crew!

Ben and Carlos were great. We had a project to finish on a tight timeline and needed a quality finish. They installed the rock and landscaping on time, on budget and it looks fantastic. They took it to the next level cleaning up after my garbage man who spilled grass all over our street and replaced a sprinkler head that was faulty. Very professional team, with great work ethics and quality skills.

We hired Ben Erickson and his crew to repair a landscaping project that the prior owners of our house had completed several years ago. It was a small but complex project and we were delighted with the professionalism and quality of work that Ben brought to the project. Our patio area had settled near the new addition on our house, and consequently rainwater flowed toward the house across the stone patio. Obviously this is not good. The complexity was that besides the incorrect slope of the patio due to settlement, we otherwise enjoyed the aesthetics of the patio and the wooden porch. Ben's team was able to re-grade the patio and re-grade the catch basin system to re-direct runoff away from the house, without making any unnecessary and costly changes to the stone patio or wooden porch. As with any house project, oftentimes unexpected challenges present themselves during the course of the project, and Ben and his crew were excellent at problem solving during the project in order to accomplish the goal. We recommend Ben for other landscaping projects and we plan to use his company for future projects ourselves.

Details: No, the patio will not be structurally connected to buildings • Residential
