From patios to retaining walls, we help White Bear Lake homeowners create clean, lasting outdoor spaces.
Services
White Bear Lake is one of those places where outdoor space really matters. Between the beautiful lake views, established neighborhoods, and long Minnesota seasons, homeowners here want yards that look great and work well year after year. We help White Bear Lake homeowners improve their properties with hardscaping and landscape design that fits the home, holds up to our climate, and adds real value.
At Royal Landscaping, we bring over 10 years of hands-on experience and more than 5 years serving Minneapolis and the Twin Cities. We know what works in this area, from drainage planning and grading to patio layouts, retaining wall construction, and clean landscape design. Our goal is simple: make your project easy, do high-quality work, and leave you with an outdoor space you are proud to show off.
We focus on the landscaping upgrades that make the biggest difference in curb appeal, function, and long-term durability. If you want to upgrade your backyard, fix a slope, or create a more usable outdoor living area, we can help.
Retaining walls do more than hold back soil. A well-built wall can solve erosion problems, manage sloped yards, define planting areas, and give your property a cleaner, more finished look. In White Bear Lake, where yards can have grade changes and drainage issues, the right retaining wall matters.
We build retaining walls with a strong focus on base prep, drainage, structure, and appearance. That means a wall that not only looks good today, but stays solid through freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rain. We also back our retaining walls with a 5-year warranty, so you can feel confident in the investment.
A good patio gives you a place to relax, entertain, grill, and enjoy your yard without dealing with patchy grass or muddy spots. We design and install patios that fit the layout of your property and the way you actually live. Whether you want a simple sitting area or a larger outdoor gathering space, we can build something that feels natural with your home.
Our patio work is built for both appearance and performance. We pay attention to layout, base preparation, drainage, and finish details. The result is a patio that looks clean, feels solid, and lasts. Our patios also come with a 5-year warranty.
Some yards need more than one fix. That is where landscape design comes in. We help White Bear Lake homeowners create a plan for the full space, so the patio, retaining wall, planting areas, and overall flow all work together. A thoughtful design helps avoid wasted space and gives you a finished look instead of a patchwork of separate projects.
We keep the process practical and easy to understand. We listen to what you want, look at the layout of your property, and recommend design ideas that match your goals, budget, and maintenance preferences.
We are a local company led by owner Thomas Wurdemann, a Minnesota native who built Royal Landscaping from the ground up. We are not here to oversell you. We are here to give honest recommendations, do the work right, and make sure you are happy with the finished project.
We try to make things simple because home projects should not feel confusing. When you reach out, we will text or call to learn more about the job. You can send photos or your address, and then we will come out, take measurements, and provide an on-the-spot quote in many cases. If you are ready to move forward, we will get your project scheduled.
For bigger jobs, 25% is due at signing. The remaining balance is due when the work is finished and you are satisfied. Then we send the invoice. Clear communication, no guesswork, and no dragging things out.
We proudly work with homeowners in White Bear Lake and across the east metro. Whether your home is near the lake, in an established residential neighborhood, or in a nearby surrounding area, our team is ready to help with your next patio, retaining wall, or landscape design project.
If you are ready to improve your outdoor space in White Bear Lake, call Royal Landscaping at (651) 318-8775. We would be happy to take a look, answer your questions, and give you a quote.

"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!"
"Last summer I hired them to clean out my garden of invasive weeds and this summer they laid river rock around my tree. Did an excellent job both times. Hard working and pleasant to work with."
"We had landscaping that hadn't been cared for in about 10 years and these folks came in and made it look beautiful! Fantastic service and great pricing. What's not to love!?"
"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."

"My yard needed a lot of attention to various areas. A lot of weeding and large bushes/shrubs needed trimming. Thomas was responsive with setting up a day and time that worked well for me. 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 ended up getting an offer on the house very fast, thanks to their hard work. I would recommend using them, and Thomas was great to deal with."
"Thomas came out and was very knowledgeable about my landscaping needs! The end project turned out beautifully!"
"Royal Landscaping gave me a fair price, and the landscapers were friendly, helpful and hardworking. They did a great job."
"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!!"

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! 😊"
