Walkabout Outdoor creates vibrant, ecological spaces that strengthen your connection to the outdoors.

GARDEN

Infinitely detailed, unfathomably complex and unequally creative: Nature is the premier artist. Our gardens work harmoniously with the dynamic, reciprocal, ever-evolving beauty of nature.

LANDSCAPE

Utilizing traditional methods of shaping stone and ecologically sensitive build methods, our landscapers and artisan stonemasons increase the beauty, longevity and distinctiveness of our art.

DESIGN

Our contemporary, naturalistic design is distinguished by holistic and harmonizing processes so your relationship to your outdoor space is beautiful, practical and reciprocal.

Rustic outdoor kitchen, artisan patio and lush garden

 

We multiplied the living space of this Summit Ave. Tudor with a custom patio complete with kitchen, living and dining areas. A diverse native perennial garden blends with the artisan stonework to create an extraordinary outdoor experience for entertaining, living, and basking in the seasons of Minnesota.

 

 

 Outdoor kitchen and dining area amidst lush gardens

Transforming this backyard into a serene retreat, we’ve created a space where every element enhances natural beauty. New gardens showcase a vibrant array of flowers and lush greenery, thoughtfully designed for year-round interest. Dry-stacked stone walls lend rustic charm and timeless elegance, seamlessly integrating with the landscape. Artisan stone patios extend the living space outdoors, while a custom pergola offers a stylish, shaded area for relaxation and gatherings. The addition of a fully equipped outdoor kitchen brings convenience and luxury to alfresco dining. Every detail was meticulously crafted to elevate the outdoor experience, blending functionality with refined aesthetics

 
 

Reclaimed brick patios and eclectic gardens

 This Minneapolis backyard features a blend of old-world charm and modern design: lush, vibrant, pollinator friendly gardens frame the space, while reclaimed clay brick patios offer a rustic, timeless touch. Our dry-stacked walls add a natural, handcrafted element, creating a seamless flow between elegance and comfort. A charming woodland path weaves through, inviting exploration and adding a touch of natural elegance to this tranquil outdoor escape.

 
 

Contemporary artist’s urban landscape retreat

 

Curves meet bold lines of contrasting geometric stonework in this unique backyard design. Lounging and dining spaces anchor opposite ends of the yard, connected by lush lawn and subtle stepping stones.

 

 
 

 Charming always evolving gardens

Experience a garden in constant transformation, where every season brings a new chapter of color, texture, and growth. This dynamic space evolves with a blend of ever-blooming flowers, shifting foliage, and seasonal plantings, creating a living tapestry that continuously delights and surprises. From vibrant spring blooms to autumn’s rich hues, the garden's character changes, offering a fresh perspective with every visit.

 

Vibrant urban prairie enlivens Minneapolis bank property

 

We brought the texture, color, and luxurious expanse of a Midwestern prairie to the urban landscape. The prairie provides a sensory haven not just for harried city-dwellers but for also for our pollinator friends. Successions of blooms and growth patterns provide evolving interest throughout the seasons.

 

Landscaping to complement Mediterranean architecture and vibe

 

Inspired by the effortless garden style of France's Côte d'Azur, the landscape of this Minnehaha Parkway Mediterranean creates an outdoor space for relaxed retreat or social lounging. Gardens boast the rich, visually stimulating textures of indigenous plants and gently guide the eye to rest on expansive views along Minnehaha creek. An extended patio with an abundance of sub-tropical themed containers bordered by reclaimed sandstone coursing and dry-stacked and capped stone walls create both a nurturing space for seclusion as well as an ideal space for outdoor entertaining. 

 

 

Artisan stone and native plants create a backyard oasis

 

Mossy thyme grows amongst bluestone pavers lined with native grasses and flowering perennials, leading to a backyard oasis. Artisan stone forms the two-tiered patio, creating an open, connected space while providing multiple separate nooks for large gatherings, intimate brakfasts, and fireside chats. A custom-built pergola provides shade and festive lighting for the dining area. Flourishing foundation gardens encircle an open lawn for play and leisure.
