Why Schifsky Companies

A True Design-Build Partner — Not Just a Contractor

Big outdoor projects go wrong when designers, project leaders, and crews don't talk to each other. We keep all three on one team — accountable to you, from the first sketch to the final walkthrough.

  • One Accountable Team

    From design to construction, you work with one company. We're accountable for every trade and subcontractor on the job — you never coordinate anyone yourself.

  • Dedicated Project Leader

    A single point of contact keeps your project on schedule, on budget, and clearly communicated.

  • Built to Last

    Premium materials and skilled in-house craftsmanship, backed by our workmanship warranty.

What Twin Cities Homeowners Say

Trusted on Projects Like Yours

"We hired Schifsky to build a retaining wall and patio, with stonework around the house. From our first meeting to completion we were impressed with the professionalism and workmanship. Carson and Brandon were quick to answer questions and acted on every request. The crews worked hard, took care not to disturb neighboring yards, and cleaned up every day. We'd absolutely recommend Schifsky Companies."

Tracy TombStillwater, MN

"Schifsky Companies recently completed a landscaping project in conjunction with a pool install. They did a great job with the design, plant choice, and completing the work in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Carson and Brendan at Schifsky for your next project!"

Common Questions

What to Know Before You Start

What size projects do you take on?
We take on a wide range of projects — from focused outdoor upgrades to complete, large-scale backyard transformations. Whatever stage you're at, the best first step is a quick conversation so we can understand your goals and budget.
Is the design consultation really free?
Yes. Your initial consultation and site visit are completely free with no obligation — a chance for us to understand your goals, see your property, and have an honest conversation about budget and possibilities.
Are the designs free?
No — and that's intentional. We charge a design fee because we invest significant time creating the right plan for your project, and we believe a project succeeds or fails in the design phase — so it's not something we skimp on. The good news: that design fee is credited 100% toward your installation if you choose to move forward with Schifsky.
Will I see the design before construction begins?
Absolutely. Our designers create a custom plan with realistic 3D renderings so you can see and refine your space before any work starts — no guesswork.
How long does a project take?
Timelines depend on scope, materials, and permitting. After your consultation we'll give you a realistic schedule, and your dedicated project leader keeps you updated throughout the build.
Are you licensed, insured, and do you offer a warranty?
Yes — Schifsky Companies is fully licensed and insured, and we back our work with a workmanship warranty. You can invest with confidence.
What areas do you serve?
We're based in Lake Elmo, MN and serve the Twin Cities metro and surrounding suburbs, from Wayzata to Woodbury. Not sure if you're in our area? Just ask in the form above and we'll let you know.
