2006: Hedberg Aggregates Water Feature of the Year. The award-winning water feature includes a wetland bog filtration system, a meandering stream, and a boulder waterfall culminating in a quiet fish pond.
2008: Hedberg Aggregates Water Feature of the Year. The award-winning water feature includes a naturalistic, two-phase waterfall with a meandering stream and swimming pond that reaches 5.5 feet at the deepest point. The complete landscape design includes fieldstone stepping stones, a paver patio, a cedar pergola, and a variety of unique plants and trees that integrate into the surrounding environment.

In addition to our awards, we enjoy our TV appearances. We had a great time during our appearances on Home & Garden Television's (HGTV) Landscaper's Challenge and Landscape Smart. In Landscaper's Challenge episode LSC-1003, Tier One Landscape built the winning design for homeowners in Shakopee. The design featured a southern-inspired backyard haven with a magnificent deck, outdoor kitchen, and lush new landscape featuring boulder walls and naturalistic plantings. In Landscape Smart episode LDS-1071, Tier One Landscape increased the client's habitable space by building a luxurious backyard room, complete with bluestone patio, trellis, arbors, new trees and plantings. We were also recently featured on the new Twin Cities Live program, airing on our local ABC affiliate, KSTP. Check out the Twin Cities Live website to see details about the new backyard patio built by Tier One Landscape. And stay tuned... we have an appearance on Curb Appeal coming soon, too!

Tier One cares about contributing back to our community and enriching the quality of design in our area. We believe community education is one of the best ways to promote high standards in landscape design and installation.
