12. Lake Sylvia Lake Home (design) Annandale, MN The homeowners wanted a low maintenance design that was both functional as well as beautiful. My design limited the amount of turf areas and utilized durable plant materials to reduce the amount of mowing, pruning and weeding needed during the family’s weekend visits.

Because of his high level of values and service, Scott is the first person I call when I need landscaping services.” Eric Munt, LEED AP Project Manager/Business Development Scott Builders “Scott provided creative and cost effective solutions to entry monumentation and development landscaping that is critical in the marketing of a very high-end residential development (home packages from $1,750,000 -$3,000,000). Always easy to contact and performed required tasks on time and budget.” Bill Coffman Owner Coffman Development Services “Scott has provided several landscape plans for our projects. He was our first call when we needed a design completed quickly and for a reasonable cost. His responsiveness was exemplary.” Cara Otto Senior Vice President Otto & Associates “Scott understands that the work place is more than a job it is a place to build long lasting working relationships.
