Landscape Design & Installation
With over 50 years in the landscape industry, Sargent’s has learned a thing or two about designing and building amazing spaces.
Custom Landscape Design & Installation Built for Rochester, MN Homes
Every property in Rochester and Southeast Minnesota comes with its own soil, drainage, and sun exposure challenges. Our landscape designers work on-site with you to build a plan suited to your specific yard — not a generic template — using locally grown plants, proven hardscape materials, and a build process refined over five decades in this region.
YEARS OF
EXPERIENCE
Our Rochester-Area Landscaping Process: From Consultation to Completion
Initial Phone Consultation
On-Site Concept, Design & Proposal
Your designer meets you on-site — whether that’s in Rochester, Oronoco, Pine Island, or elsewhere in our service area — to walk the property and discuss how to bring your vision to life. From there, we build a detailed landscape plan and provide a price estimate for installation.
Build & Maintain
This is where your design becomes reality. Your designer stays involved throughout construction, coordinating with your site manager to make sure the job is installed exactly to plan. You’ll get regular updates and a direct line to answer questions as the project progresses.

Our Landscaping Process
Step 1
Initial Consultation
Our landscape design process begins with an initial phone conversation to discuss the scope of your project, including any ideas you have for the space (desired materials, intended use, etc.) as well as your approximate budget. Once we have an understanding of your goals, we will discuss an approximate timeline and the design fees associated with the next step in the process.
*If you proceed past this phone consult and a designer comes to your site, a design fee of $500 will be involved which covers the designer’s time and expertise. If you install your design with Sargent’s, some or all of this fee will be credited to your final bill.
Step 2
Concept, Design, & Proposal
With your vision in mind, your designer will meet with you on-site to discuss the details of your project and how to best achieve your goals. Your designer will then take all your project’s elements and create a detailed landscape plan. Once a final design is approved, you will receive a price estimate to install the project. If you’d like to proceed, you will sign an installation contract, make a down payment, and be placed on our schedule.
Step 3
Build & Maintain
This is where we make your dreams a reality. Your landscape designer stays with you every step of the way and will coordinate with your site manager to ensure your job gets installed exactly as planned. They will address any questions or concerns and keep you informed of the progress.
Step 4
Final Walkthrough
We ensure everything meets your expectations and stands behind our work. Once completed, you will perform a final walkthrough with your designer to provide any applicable care or warranty information. Should you wish, your designer can also provide a Sargent’s maintenance plan to make sure your new landscape looks and performs its best for years to come.
