You’ve worked hard for your piece of Minnetonka

You’ve worked hard for your piece of Minnetonka, but it’s slipping away.  Either erosion 
is nibbling it down to a crust, or it’s not accessible enough, or your shoreline looks so unlike what you want that you don’t enjoy it much and you don’t always feel you’ve “arrived.”  Instead of helping you to relax, your shoreline has become another burr in your saddle.  You couldn’t be prouder of where your shoreline is, but you could be prouder of your shoreline.

It doesn’t need to be this way.  Your property is scenic and nicely situated, and you have at least a rough idea of how you want to improve it.  As with just about everything else you cherish, there’s nothing about your Minnetonka shoreline that some above-and-beyond work can’t fix.

You want your shoreline to last, and you want to enjoy it with family and friends.

(You also don’t mind if neighbors envy it a little.)  Lakeshore Guys® can engineer, design, and create the shoreline that meets your specifications, exceeds your expectations, and looks and feels exactly right.  Your local landscaper can’t even do it competently, let alone in a way that does justice to your property and completes it.  Someone who does a great job around your home does not translate to someone who can do a great job along your shoreline.

Whether your shoreline is in Wayzata, Orono, Deephaven, Excelsior, Greenwood, Minnetonka, Minnetonka Beach, Minnetrista, Mound, Shorewood, Spring Park, Tonka Bay, Victoria, or Woodland, we can help.

What Our Minnetonka Customers Say

“The Lakeshore Guys are the BEST thing I have ever found on the internet. What a crew of hard working men. It’s rare to see this kind of effort, efficiency, and job completion anymore. Their hard work, customer service and follow up is the best. I wish more companies had this level of attention to customer service. Our project was for Joe’s crew to make our unsafe, unusable, chaotic, sloppy lakeside hill into something usable for a family and bring some organization to the plantings and install stairs with railings to safely get down the hill and into the water. Erosion was a major concern. Major. Before hand placing every single rock in the new rip rap, they prepped the area very thoroughly. Much of the work we paid for can’t even be seen because it is in the prep. In a few years the hostas and hydrangeas will fill in along with the other plants. To make the project more interesting- it was done completely long distance on my end. Joe sent lots of photos and we had many calls and emails. Is it expensive? Yes. The cliche “you get what you pay for” is true! You really get the best ideas, the best work ethic, the best follow up. Worth every penny.” – Kay Almanza (see review on Google Maps)

“Lakeshore Guys transformed our ~ 200′ of shoreline which had largely been ignored for several years into something that matches the quality of our new home. From the first interaction with Joe, through permitting and until the project was completed, communication and customer satisfaction were paramount to them. We discussed our goals with the shoreline which were taken to heart before they started and by on-site supervisor Mike while underway. The quality of work and ongoing communication are the hallmarks of their approach. Well done!” – Keith Tomlinson (see review on Google Maps)
