Landscape Design & Build Partner for Custom Home Builders in the Twin Cities
Coordinated Outdoor Design & Execution
NRD Landscape Design + Build partners with custom home builders to deliver landscape solutions that are coordinated, build-ready, and executed with precision. We work as an extension of your team—supporting the build process from early design through final installation.
We collaborate with builders throughout Plymouth, MN, and the Twin Cities west metro, helping deliver finished homes that feel complete from the ground up.
Builder Collaboration, Not Just Landscaping
A large portion of NRD’s work comes from builder partnerships.
Builders choose NRD because we understand construction realities—timelines, sequencing, communication, and the importance of protecting the builder–client relationship.
Our role is to support your vision, reduce friction, and help deliver a finished product that reflects the quality of the home itself.
Today’s custom home buyers often expect more than just the home. They want outdoor spaces that feel cohesive with the architecture and complete from day one. By coordinating landscape design, outdoor living features, grading, hardscapes, and finishing details alongside the build process, NRD helps create a more complete final product for both the builder and homeowner.
We work closely with builders, project managers, and homeowners throughout the process to help projects move smoothly while maintaining the level of professionalism expected on high-end custom homes.
