Your Duluth Outdoor Living Contractor

Sloped lots, clay soil and drainage are the real challenges in most Duluth yards. We plan for them from the start, so your patio, walls and outdoor living space stay level, dry and solid for years.

At Proterra Landscape, one team handles design, permits and construction, using premium materials from Techo-Bloc, Belgard, Unilock, Keystone and Tremron.

Building Outdoor Spaces in Duluth

Duluth's Town Green, fountain and summer concerts make downtown a gathering place, and plenty of homeowners want that same feel in their own backyard. Many Duluth yards slope away from the house under a tall deck, so the first job is usually making the ground usable.

The City of Duluth issues its own permits, and any electrical or gas work, like an outdoor kitchen or a gas fire feature, needs one. Streams carry a 50-foot no-disturbance buffer and a 75-foot no-pavement setback, and drainage easements must stay clear. Duluth also bills stormwater by hard surface, so drainage is part of every plan we draw.

Our Project Tuscan in Duluth shows how it comes together. A curved block retaining wall with built-in steps levels the slope, a curved Unilock patio and round stone fire pit sit below a two-story deck, and a river rock border handles the drainage.
