Brubaker Landscape Designs; Creating Your Sense of Place

“I am most pleased with how you were able to interpret how we wanted to use our landscape and turn it into an enjoyable, functional space rather than just a backdrop or a showplace. Our front yard has been transformed from a bare postage stamp into a gathering place for neighbors and a playspace for children.”

Brubaker Landscape Designs

We are a landscape design-build company founded in 1988 by
C. Elaine Brubaker and located in Minneapolis and Northfield MN. Our scope of landscape services is diverse and extensive, focused primarily in the disciplines of Design, Build and Stewardship.

Creating your sense of place is our intention. We listen to you and respond accordingly. By focusing on your lifestyle, aesthetic and practical requirements, we create a place that will feel comfortable and suited to you. Our designs are unique and customized to our Clients’ needs; never do we take a “cookie cutter” approach.

Your landscape will harmonize with the property's architecture, natural environment and surrounding community. As an added benefit, research shows that attractive landscapes offer an excellent return on your investment and can increase the value of your property as much as 20%.

Our year-round team of design-build professionals includes people educated in a variety of disciplines ranging from Landscape Architecture and Horticulture to Art and Construction. Our designers are also builders and are dedicated to the highest professional standards of creating your project.

Our philosophy is similar to the early professionals of Landscape Architecture who were dedicated to the process of designing landscapes, their creation and after care. We build trusting, long-lasting relationships with our clients. By design, we are a small, flexible company with an emphasis on service. Our reputation for Quality, Integrity and Ecological Sensitivity speaks for itself.
