The Story of Dreamscapes Landscaping & Design

The Story of Dreamscapes Landscaping & Design

Inspiring Outdoor Living

.Since 1987.

DreamScapes began when owner Alex Shuda started his local landscaping company at age 12 in Roseville, MN. What started with basic lawn care has grown into one of Minneapolis's most trusted family owned landscaping businesses, built on a foundation of creating beautiful outdoor spaces and delighting clients.

Today, DreamScapes has evolved into a full-service Minneapolis landscaping company with award-winning designers, 35+ year-round professionals, and modern equipment. Our experience & commitment to quality enables us to give our clients a five-year warranty on hardscape construction and a one-year plant warranty. The Best Warranty in the Business!

Our Mission

DreamScapes is committed to crafting exceptional landscapes through innovative design, high-quality craftsmanship, and a dedication to building lasting client relationships. We strive to create enduring outdoor living spaces that inspire and captivate, enhancing lives for years to come.
