About Us

Urban Escapes is a Full Service Landscape and Design Company based on creating and improving the interaction between humans and nature. Our company's philosophy is to help people enjoy their own backyard, by creating an outdoor escape from the indoor life. We work to enhance your outdoor space and together make your vision a reality.

Having been in the business for over 20 years we have the knowledge, resources and expertise to provide top notch service to all our clients .  Urban Escapes takes pride in being perceived as a company committed to delivering excellence consistently, ensuring the best results every time.  

By establishing a deep, personal connection with each customer, we discover the unique preferences that create comfort and relaxation outdoors. Collaborating closely with our clients ensures a tailored experience, allowing them to play a pivotal role in crafting their own personalized outdoor retreat.

 Rather than presenting a single design, we take pleasure in offering our clients a range of options. During the initial design phase, we generate multiple designs for the space, allowing you to envision diverse possibilities for the final plan. 

We landscaped the First LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environment Design) house in Minneapolis!

We employ various methods to ensure our projects are environmentally friendly, such as recycling unused materials and plastic plant pots. Additionally, we embrace innovative solutions like permeable paving systems and rain gardens. We can incorporate rain barrels to prevent water from entering the sewer system, promoting water reuse for personal gardens.
