Minnesota Green Inc.

What Minnesota Green Inc. does

Minnesota Green Landscaping (the operating trade name of Minnesota Green Inc.) is a privately held, residential custom-landscaping company headquartered at 327 Marschall Road, Suite 365, Shakopee, Minnesota. Founded in 1977 and owned since Fall 2022 by Bob Renaud and his wife Katie, the company designs and installs high-end outdoor environments for Minnesota homeowners. Its six integrated service lines — Backyards, Custom Items (fire pits, planters, steel retaining walls), Pool Layout, Design and Layout, Small Lot Design, and Outdoor Lighting — are sold individually or bundled into single projects, with the design-and-layout stage positioned as the pre-construction planning entry point that sets requirements, "wants," and "must-haves" before installation begins.

The business runs on a direct-to-consumer, project-based model: customers initiate inquiries via phone (952.496.3105), text line (952.299.5531), or the mngreen.com contact form, then proceed through a paid design phase and a quote-based installation phase subject to minimum project cost thresholds and logistical requirements. Pricing is bespoke per project and is not publicly disclosed. Marketing is limited to a Squarespace-hosted website with a portfolio gallery, plus organic Facebook and Instagram profiles. There are no disclosed enterprise or commercial customers; the entire revenue base is individual Minnesota homeowners with "exceptional properties."

The company is small and owner-led. Publicly identifiable staff are limited to three people: President/Owner Bob Renaud (industry experience since 1998), Production Manager Ryan Hammer (joined April 2022), and Office Manager Morgan Ziehl (joined March 2023). The company is not venture-backed, has no disclosed institutional investors or parent entity, and reports no revenue. As of the most recent website disclosure, installation scheduling is booked into Late Summer/Fall 2026, indicating demand is exceeding capacity and the company is actively qualifying projects by minimum size and timing. Geographic scope is single-state (Minnesota), with no disclosed plans for multi-state or commercial-market expansion.
