Landscaping Services in Maplewood, MN
At Royal Landscaping, we help Maplewood homeowners turn ordinary yards into outdoor spaces that feel clean, useful, and easy to enjoy. This is a city with beautiful neighborhoods, mature trees, busy families, and long Minnesota seasons that can be hard on your lawn and hardscape. We build landscapes that fit the way you live and hold up through freeze-thaw cycles, rain, and daily use.
Whether you want a new patio for relaxing, a retaining wall to solve a slope problem, or a full landscape design that ties everything together, we make the process simple. You work directly with us, we communicate clearly, and we treat your property with care from start to finish.
Built for Maplewood yards and Minnesota weather
Maplewood properties often need more than a quick cosmetic fix. Many yards deal with uneven grades, drainage concerns, worn-out garden beds, or outdoor spaces that were never set up well to begin with. We look at the full picture so your project is not only attractive, but also functional and long-lasting.
With over 5 years serving the Twin Cities and more than 10 years of hands-on experience from our owner, Thomas Wurdemann, we know what materials and installation methods work best in this area. Our team shows up on time, does quality work, and leaves your space looking better than we found it.

Why Maplewood homeowners choose Royal Landscaping
A lot of our customers want the same thing: good communication, fair pricing, and a finished project that looks great without creating headaches. That is exactly how we run our company.

Retaining walls that do more than hold back soil
A well-built retaining wall can completely change how a Maplewood yard works. If you have a slope, erosion problem, or hard-to-use area, a retaining wall can create level space, improve drainage patterns, and give your landscape a clean, finished look. We build retaining walls that are made to last and designed to fit the shape and style of your property.
Because wall failure is expensive and frustrating, proper base prep and installation matter. We take that seriously, and we stand behind our retaining wall work with a 5-year warranty.
Patios that make your backyard more useful
A patio gives you real outdoor living space without the upkeep of a wood deck. It is one of the best ways to make your Maplewood backyard more enjoyable for relaxing, grilling, and spending time with family and friends. We install patios that feel natural with your home and yard, whether you want something simple and clean or a larger space for entertaining.
We also pay attention to layout, grading, and flow, so your patio looks good and drains properly. That work up front helps prevent problems later and gives you a better result for the long term.
Landscape design that ties the whole yard together
If your yard feels pieced together or unfinished, a thoughtful landscape design can make a huge difference. We help homeowners plan spaces that balance hardscaping, planting areas, and open lawn so the whole property feels intentional. Good design is not just about looks. It helps traffic flow, maintenance, drainage, and how you use the space every day.
We bring practical experience to the design process, so the end result is something we can actually build well and that works in a real Minnesota yard.

Why Homeowners Recommend Royal Landscaping
See what local customers notice most quality work, clear communication, and outdoor spaces that last.
"Amazing before and after! The landscaper completely transformed our backyard and the results are beautiful. The new patio, retaining wall, steps, and clean hardscaping turned a plain outdoor space into something functional, polished, and high end. The workmanship is excellent, everything looks level and well-built, and the design fits the space perfectly. They were professional, detail oriented, and easy to work with from start to finish. If you’re looking for a reliable landscaper, hardscape contractor, or patio and retaining wall installer, I highly recommend them. This project exceeded our expectations and gave us a backyard we actually love spending time in."
"Tom did a great job coming out and giving ma a proposal on a 54" paver patio a few minutes later....his 2 guys came out on time, had a strong work ethic, and did a masterful job paying paticular attention to detail. I would strongly recommend Royal Landscaping!"
"Thomas made sure we were happy with the service, appreciate his work."
"Our experience with Royal Landscaping was great. We moved into a new place and needed an entire yard cleanup, as well as rock removed, bushes torn out, new bushes added, then landscape fabric and mulch. The crews that came out were hard-working and never stopped. The end result was better than we expected."
"Tom and his team did a great job with our yard. They were courteous, professional and thorough. Truly appreciate your work!!"
"Very easy to work with and paid attention to details. The team did everything that was requested, as well as a few other things as they came up. I highly recommend."
"From the first phone call to the final project Thomas and his crew were on time, finished the job in the allotted time, and cleaned up the job site when finished. Communication was amazing so I was always in the know. The retaining wall turned out beautifully. I plan to hire them back in the fall to finish up another landscaping project."
"Thomas was great to work with on a project in Richfield, but coordinated from my home in South Carolina. Long distance communication with Thomas was great. He was prompt to look at the site, made recommendations to enhance my request, and committed his crew to correspond with the date that I would be in town at the site! He created a new perennial bed, removed old railroad ties along our driveway and then contoured the land to meet the driveway. He cleared debris where two very large trees were removed and then backfilled the area with dirt and then sodded the area. The crew was prompt each day they worked."
"Royal Landscaping was excellent to work with. Thomas was incredibly nice and so easy to work with. I got updates all the time so I knew what was happening. I had a potential tricky situation to work around with a nesting duck in the space where he was doing most of the work and he was very kind and accommodating about that. And then I also ended up added more to the job later in the process and this just didn’t phase him at all. I loved that he offered to get the plants for me. Everything was really seamless and there were absolutely no surprises….except how lovely things turned out!"
"We had a great experience working with Thomas and his team at Royal Landscaping on our front porch project. They were professional, reliable, and delivered high-quality work from start to finish. Our front porch looks beautiful, and we’re very happy with the final result. Thomas paid great attention to detail, communicated clearly, and completed the work as expected. I would definitely recommend Royal Landscaping to anyone looking for landscaping or outdoor home improvement work."
"Thomas was great to work with from bid to project completion. We will be using Royal again!"
"Royal landscaping did a great job . They are very easy to work with and communicate, fair price for labor and materials. My backyard was sloppy and It was a little bit difficult to lawnmower .I decided to use the backyard for something useful ( garden and vegetable) instead of lawnmower every summer) I wanted to build a retaining wall to the lower side , dig from the high side and level the area for garden space . I started searching for a family owned, small and reliable landscaping company that would do my project in my budget. I contacted a few of the landscaping companies and asked them to give me a quote for my yard work, Most of them did not showed up and asked me to send them a picture of my yard work. I sent them a picture and they quoted me a higher price than my budget. I wanted someone who can come and see the project in person instead of asking for a picture. Royal landscaping showed up the same day I contacted them and gave me very reasonable prices for the work. And, they built about 40 ft long, 2ft high and 6 ft wide retaining wall and leveled it for garden area. Theses guys showed up early in the morning every day and worked until 4:30 pm. They did a fantastic work.I am very happy to work with them and met my expectation. I suggest Royal landscaping for anyone who has a background and landscaping project."
"We want to recommend Royal Landscaping to anyone needing a company that does excellent work and also listens to what the home owner needs. We are a condo association and we hired Royal Landscaping after a bidding process where the owner Thomas spoke to our Board. We were very impressed with their professionalism and their ability to work within our budget. The resulting work is just what we wanted and they provided great follow up on how to take care of the new landscaping. This is a trustworthy organization."
"Thomas did a great job finishing off the backyard project that we’d lost the will to finish. His quote was competitive and well laid out, he communicated clearly, and he and his coworker did great work. Would definitely recommend!"
"Royal Landscaping did a very professional job fixing the retaining wall. We are so happy with the transformation!"

"Thomas did an incredible job scheduling the day of service, and Jake did an outstanding job removing weeds and installing fresh mulch. They also removed some leaves from last fall that had accumulated. Loving my yard now. Would 100% recommend and will be going with them for my next project. They showed up early and once they connected with me got right to work. They also did an amazing job of staying within the estimated time. Very professional."

He and another guy came out on a Saturday morning and did a very thorough job, getting through most of the yard in the 5 hours we had designated. I will absolutely have them back in the future!"
"We wanted to sell our rental property, but the yard was completely destroyed and abandoned by the tenants. Royal Landscaping changed their schedule to do a ton of work on the lawn and landscaping quickly to make it look beautiful!

"We had rock removed from 3 landscape beds. The crew did an awesome job. Office staff was easy to communicate with and kept us up to date on the schedule."
"These guys were great. I couldn’t be at the home to get a quote so he FaceTimed me from the house to confirm what I wanted done. They even went back the next day when I added additional work for them. Very reasonably priced too."
"I had this company dig out all my landscape rock and replace it. I am so happy with them. So much work and they did an excellent job! They are also very reasonably priced and a pleasure to work with."
"Top notch service! Will hire again"
"I used this business twice for weeding my flower gardens. They showed up on time, were polite, and did a great job! I would definitely use them again."
"These two young men did a wonderful job…on time, no dawdling, understood and followed directions to a “T.” Worked quickly and quietly, too!!"
"Had my backyard redone with sod for a very reasonable deal. Work was done when they said they would do it and it looks great. I run a daycare so my backyard grass was almost gone and dirt underneath was VERY compacted. They tilled the dirt first so the new grass would develop properly. Very good communication throughout the process. Would absolutely book this company again."
"Two guys showed up on time. We talked about what was to ge done. They went right to work."
"I reached out last minute to have some rock and flowers moved to another flower bed because I was having a paver patio installed. They got back to me so quickly! Showed up the next day and got everything done in a few hours. It looks great, and I was able to save my peonies!!"
"We hired Royal landscaping to do work for us a couple years ago. We live on 40 acres & have countless projects: They have done such an incredible job that we have hired them every summer to continue on going projects and landscaping. Their incredibly professional, highly skilled, extremely punctual, work diligently, respectful and very hard working! The crews that Thomas puts together are phenomenal and we would highly recommend them to anybody for any landscaping or outdoor project. They truly have exceeded our expectations in every way! Marcia L: Farmngton"
"When I scheduled time with Royal Landscaping I had a big job ahead: removing thistles and sapling trees from a half acre property. I was thoroughly impressed with the speed and quality of work I had done. A job that would have taken me days was finished within 6 hours! I cannot recommend them enough!"
"We would give more than 5 stars if we could. Thomas is friendly and very thorough in his work. Our yard was overgrown with buckthorn and other weeds. He dug up everything by the roots and hauled them away, and we couldn’t be more pleased. We definitely will be using them regularly. Thank you so much! 😊"
