Built the Right Way — From the Ground Up

 

McDowell Landscapes was built the same way we build our projects — with hard work, hands-on experience, and a commitment to doing things right.

 

What started as a small weekend landscaping business in high school grew into a full-service professional operation serving homeowners, builders, and property owners across the Twin Cities.

 

Since 2010, owner Crawford McDowell has been immersed in the landscape and construction industry. In 2014, he stepped into the role of landscape foreman, managing complex projects, leading crews, and gaining the real-world experience that only comes from being in the field every day.

 

That experience shaped the standards McDowell Landscapes operates by today.

 

More Than Landscaping — We Build Solutions

 

Over the years, our work has expanded far beyond basic landscaping. Today, we specialize in:

    •    Excavation and grading

    •    Drainage corrections

    •    Boulder and retaining walls

    •    Hardscaping and outdoor spaces

    •    Site preparation and final landscaping

 

We don’t just make properties look better — we solve problems, improve functionality, and build projects that last.

 

Built on Experience, Not Shortcuts

 

We believe the difference between a project that lasts and one that fails is what you don’t see:

    •    Proper base preparation

    •    Correct grading and drainage

    •    Solid construction methods

    •    Attention to long-term performance

 

Our crews operate professional-grade equipment and bring thousands of hours of hands-on experience to every job site.

 

A Company Built on Values

 

McDowell Landscapes was built on simple principles:

 

Do it right the first time

Don’t cut corners

Communicate clearly

Respect our clients and their property

Stand behind our work

 

These values are why so much of our business comes from repeat customers and referrals.
