We're a family business that's been taking care of our neighbors' properties for over 25 years. Same values, same commitment — every single job.
We started as a small family operation and grew the honest way — through hard work and word of mouth. Over 25 years later, we're still family-owned and still run the same way we always have.
Every property gets our full attention. Every client is treated like a neighbor. We do the job right the first time, and we stand behind everything we do.
We're local — and we're proud of it. CJ's Landscaping has been serving homeowners and businesses across central Minnesota for over 25 years. If you're on a lake, we've probably worked nearby.
Our service list is vast — but so is our experience. Whatever your project calls for, we've done it before and we'll do it right.
We stabilize and restore eroding shorelines using riprap, natural buffers, and native plantings — protecting your waterfront while keeping it beautiful and compliant.
Stone, block, and boulder walls built to hold back soil, manage elevation, and add lasting structure and character to any property.
Hardscaping that adds beauty and value — from sweeping driveways and curved walkways to custom patios and fire pit areas built for years of enjoyment.
Natural stone paths and patios that fit seamlessly into any landscape — hand-laid with care to create surfaces that are as durable as they are beautiful.
Safe, handsome steps built to blend into the landscape — from natural boulder staircases winding through the woods to timber steps along a lakeside lawn.
We're proud to now offer stamped concrete — a beautiful, durable surface that mimics the look of natural stone, brick, or slate. Built right for Minnesota winters and available for patios, walkways, driveways, and pool surrounds.
Not everything needs a photo — but these services are just as important to us.
There's no shortage of landscaping companies in the lakes area. Here's what sets us apart.
25+ years and still run by the same family. You deal with the owner, not a call center.
We live and work in the lakes area. We know the soil, the winters, and the shorelines.
No subcontracting. Our crew shows up, does the job right, and stands behind it.
Minnesota winters don't forgive shortcuts. We build everything to hold through freeze-thaw, year after year.
"I’d give 6 stars if I could! CJ and crew gave us a whole new lease on life at our lake place. Boulder walls, outcroppings, paver paths, patio and granite steps down to the lake. Add in the sprinkler system, sod and plantings and it doesn’t even look like the same place. His price was super reasonable and he was a pleasure to work with! Can’t wait until I have another project to give him a call!"
"CJ was great! Timely, did beautiful work, showed up when he promised, good communication — all the things you would want on a project."
"CJ’s Landscaping has done multiple projects for us over the last 10+ years and is our go-to resource for all things landscaping. They’ve done everything from helping us design the landscape look we wanted to building rock walls, stone walkways/steps, planting high quality trees and sod and installing irrigation systems. The work is always done with care and at an affordable price and their attention to detail is top notch. They are just really wonderful to work with — good people! Highly recommend!"
