CREATIVE LANDSCAPE DESIGN THAT CULTIVATES THE NATURAL BEAUTY OF YOUR OUTDOOR SPACE

Picture
Imagine playing, entertaining, cooking, relaxing, or working in a beautiful outdoor living space. Perhaps you're kicking the soccer ball around with your kids under a canopy of leafy trees or sipping wine on your patio, enjoying the natural beauty and privacy of your own backyard. Leaves rustle, birds sing, and you're transported from your hectic life to a peace that’s only found in nature.

If your Twin Cities backyard lacks the tranquility and function you've always imagined, it’s time to transform it into a living space that reflects your lifestyle and design style. Cathy Waldhauser of CHW Landscape/Design works with homeowners like you to get inspired, dream big, and plan and install functional, beautiful landscapes to enjoy through all of our Minnesota seasons.

testimonials

Cathy designed a landscape plan for our home that was easy to read and install. She was willing to work with us as we are do-it-yourselfers but offered us resources if and when we needed help.

The best part was that she picked out plants for our climate that are different and not in everyone else's yard. We love it!

Cathy prepared a landscape design plan for my back yard. She assisted with ordering the plants, finding the landscapers to complete the work, and made sure that all work was performed according to her plan. 

She provided helpful suggestions, watering hints, and was very involved in the whole process. My yard looks great!
