Adding a small water feature, just enough to enjoy the sound is sometimes the one thing that can complete your outdoor space. We displayed a beautiful hand crafted concrete fountain in our booth at the Home and Garden Show. Each piece done by this artist is made by hand and special design characteristics can make it unique to your location. 
Click on the image to be directed to the Minneapolis Home and Garden website where you can use Promo Code: SEASONS to purchase your tickets to the February show. It’s a great show to be inspired by new ideas for your home or to just see a touch of spring. Seriously, when you walk in the Convention Hall you can actually smell the blooming flowers!
Be sure to stop by and say hello, we’re in Booth #705 again this year. Mention this posting (prior to March 15th) and we’ll set an appointment to come to your site as a complimentary consultation!
We’re looking forward to participating February 24 – 28 at the Minneapolis Convention Center. Having won last year’s award of ‘Best Booth’ we’re anxious to try and outdo ourselves! Bring photos and measurements of your intended project areas and see what we can help with on site.
As the bright green foliage has gone away for the season, take notice of the beautiful berries left on branches, the bark of certain shrubs and trees and the dried grass and flower heads. All of these can be used in your window boxes or planters. We’ve all seen the same spruce top winter arrangements. This year don’t be afraid to add oversized branches or spray paint twigs in fun colors. Hydrangea doesn’t have to be the only dried flower to add. For something new, try dried Astilbe flowers, or even spent Lilac flowers or buds. Or again, spray paint the dried flowers. Don’t be afraid to try something new – you can always remove it!
We’re proud to say we won the most inspirational booth at the 19th Annual Midwest Home Show. Thank you to all our clients who stopped by to sign our guest book, see our fall themed booth or those of you who have remembered us from past shows. Thanks for your comments and feedback, we always appreciate it. The very popular patio was a new product from Anchor Block called Slaton – and yes, it can be installed in your backyard.
Let us know how we can inspire you!
This backyard patio project in St. Paul was for a very active couple who enjoyed entertaining. They had an existing deck off the second level of their home and a putting green off the basment level but not a very user friendly access between the two. The existing hillside started as an obstacle and become the main focus for gathering and access to the green. The hillside was reinforced with a retaining wall that enclosed the blue stone slate patio and provided a very roomy seat bench for extra guests. The existing deck pillars were matched in the retaining walls and additional columns with fod du lac stone. Careful planning had to be done for the gas lines running through the patio for firebowls on the columns and electrical lines for the outdoor landscape lighting. The couple can cook up on the deck, entertain on the patio by firelight or easily reach the golf green – their backyard is now more cohesive and beautifully done with natural stone materials.
Minnesota Seasons was invited to be one of the ‘Distinctive Gardens’ at the Minneapolis Convention Center in booth 909, November 13 – 15th. Stop and see what kind of show we’ll put on for a fall display.
The Great Minnesota Get Together was a wrap for one more year! Thank you to all who stopped by to say “hello”. There was high interest in our Palapa island – an authentic thatch roof from Mexico brings a relaxing summer and tropical feel outdoors.
This Woodbury residence is a young family of five with three active boys. The couple enjoyed entertaining but wanted to be very accessible and nearby while the kids were playing. They wanted a larger outdoor patio, a gas burning firepit and an outdoor kitchen with a grill adaptable enough for gourmet cuisine as well as host a future T-Ball team. Extra seating space was created without the need for additional furniture with a curved seat wall. An arbor nestled the patio space against the house and created a ‘grand entry’ into the yard also visible from the indoor kitchen window. Curved stone steps allow a generous landing pad in and out of the sliding patio door. A small landscape island set against the house softe

We’re excited to be at the Great Minnesota Get Together for our second year. If you missed us at the State Fair this past year, be sure to stop by this year. We have plans for a bigger and better booth and the weather will be perfect. If you have plans or photos of your site be sure to bring them with you and we can sit and talk about your project.
Our beautiful outdoor show room will featured an exciting and inspiring selection of custom-built outdoor kitchens, barbecue islands, fireplaces and fire pits, outdoor heat sources, and outdoor televisions, as well as a full complement of services for lawn, landscaping and outdoor luxury. Everyone who visited our booth had the chance to win a custom luxury bar-height firepit.
