Our approach to landscaping can be summed up in a few words: do unto others what we'd do unto ourselves. In other words, we utilize materials, design and aesthetics that we would be comfortable living with ourselves. Genie Taylor is a MNLA certified horticulturist, with a background in architecture, art and design.
The stone pictured here is a variety of sizes, colors, textures and shapes. This is all natural stone, and natural stone retaining walls are one of a few things we specialize in. From the linear and rectangular blocks of principally one form of limestone or another, to the use of larger blocks of limestone in a "random ashlar" fashion.
Has the popularity of the pond/stream/waterfall run its course? I used to build and install several of these a year, but in recent years interest has dropped off. Not quite sure why, maybe it's mostly related to the fact that they're completely in the category of want, versus need, and most people are staying closer to the need end of the spectrum these days.

I left a message for this company to see about doing some hardscaping and landscaping, but I didn’t receive a call for a week and then either the owner or some other employee call last me but doesn’t recall the message I left. I explained the hardscaping and retaining wall that I need repaired, but he said it isn’t in his wheelhouse. What’s crazy is that his website talks all about natural stone steps and retaining walls. I would look elsewhere for your hardscaping and landscaping needs.

Great business to work with. Joe is very creative and his crew are really nice and hardworking young men. His landscaping was the last project in our recovery from septic instillation. We wanted more than just a minimal level, grassy area. We now have lovely gardens with a durable walking path and sitting area. We highly recommend Outdoor Concepts.

Outdoor Concepts was very attentive to my needs, as I described them, and did not exceed my budget for this job. They gave me a bid for the job and stayed within my parameters. They were very creative in solving some of my problems, involving drainage and traffic flows. The choice of stone they suggested was a great fit for our project, and the workmanship and craftsmanship they employed to build our stone patio was absolutely first rate. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again for any future work. We are very, very pleased with the results.

Outdoor Concepts uses creative problem solving! I was almost certain that my tiny root filled back yard was without hope. Using my vision, Joe was able to raise a patio up 6" to avoid digging, and with a stunning stone and a creative shape, I was able to bring Tuscany to my backyard. Everyone compliments its beauty. Now for the front yard.......

Outdoor Concepts did a great job on a recent project we had with our new construction. We have used them several times over the years. Joe is very creative and has great ideas, and they are very competitively priced. They were efficient, and understood what we needed to get done in a timely manner. I would highly recommend them for any of your landscaping needs, large or small!

We completed a major 20,000 SF expansion including a 5 acre campus landscape update. Outdoor Concepts Team provided complete landscape/green-space/holding pond design-build turn-key services. Our design features and the product choice recommendations are providing our campus great curb appeal today. They continue to support the minimal maintenance requirements that all landscape projects require. We recommend you provide Outdoor Concepts an opportunity to review your project objectives.

I have had several occasions to utilize the services of Joe Ebertz and Outdoor Concepts. Last spring marked our third project with their company, and once again we were thrilled with the design, the budget, and the outcome. They have created artful boulder retaining walls, a wonderful pond with a water feature, and now, our wonderful flagstone patio. We have spent many hours relaxing on that patio, listening to the gurgle of water flowing, and croaking frogs. Joe made a promise, and was good to his word, a rare quality these days.

Outdoor Concepts has done a magnificent job of blending the landscape of our lakefront property to our home. Starting with boulders on our shoreline with boulder retaining walls up to the deck of the house. Joe's focus on blending beauty with usability is truly amazing. They continued by connecting the shoreline to a huge paver patio near the lake and upward to the deck are large stone stairs. From the deck are stone walkways and stairs that connect the lakefront side of the home to the rest making easy access to all the entries of the home. We want to thank Outdoor Concepts, Joe and Team.
