A garden should enrich your life and be a place to laugh, contemplate and reflect. ProScapes is a landscape design company who creates gardens that are sensitive to their surrounding environment, the architecture they offset, and the people who use them. ProScapes creates outdoor living spaces that offer a lasting, integrated connection between people and their home, garden and pool. For ProScapes, a home’s outdoor space provides an opportunity to expand the living environment in a way that instils a sense of belonging to nature – and expresses our clients’ place in it. To us, this space is not an add-on to a residence, but a beautiful, functional, seamless transformation of it. So whether you’re located in Minnetonka, Eagan, Woodbury or somewhere in between, we’d be happy to work with you on your specific needs. Contact our team today to learn more about how we can help with your residential landscape project. We look forward to hearing from you.

"How did it go? It was one of the best, well-run projects we've ever had done. Brian presented excellent ideas on what we may want to consider, then skillfully executed on the plan from there. Brian and the entire crew with Environmental Design are top notch, second to none. Years back, we hired Brian and Team to complete a major front-yard project. It went so well, we didn't think twice about hiring Environmental Design again. Our first and only call was to Brian! Brian, due to his background and expertise at what he does, makes the process "enjoyable" and "care-free". Brian starts a project when he says he will and completes the project right on time. His estimating, layout and project planning and execution skills are excellent. Brian is also a very, very, very nice person to work with at all times. Same with his Team. No surprise they've been together for a long time. While placing boulders, the team is expert and very precise. They performed that task for both the front and back yard projects. They care for your existing yard, by placing plywood down while entering and exiting the property. They clean the site daily, to ensure you're well taken care of at all times. They begin project days right on time (very consistent and predictable), which we appreciated. Plant selection (to ensure one will have color all year long) and layout/presentation of those plants is an excellent skill Brian and Environmental Design possess. They also recommended and we acted on it, a dripline irrigation system which runs right off the automated system. Press a button and all the plants are watered on the hillside!!! So glad we did that. We'd HIGHLY recommend you call Brian/Environmental Design, for a project large or small. You'll be so glad you did!"

Nick's Chimney Service & Duct Cleaning of St Paul MN has been family owned and operated for over 16 years. We serve the Twin Cities Metro and Western Wisconsin areas, and we provide quality, reliable services at affordable rates.

"When we first purchased our home, it had this massive wood burning stove sticking out of the fireplace. The exterior of the chimney was mostly stucco, with brick exposed at the top 3 feet or so. For many reasons we wanted to remove the wood burning stove and just use the fireplace for good old fashion fires. I called Nick's Chimney to sweep out the current chimney. They showed up promptly and were polite. They also seemingly did a good job. When they left, they said that I should really have the chimney tuck pointed, and that they could also do that work. I went ahead and scheduled them to come back for the tuck pointing, which cost around $1500. They tuck pointed the brick work and also resurfaced the crown cap (flat top surface of the chimney). After paying for all this work, I was excited to burn our first fire in our new home. I lit it up, and smoke filled the home to the extent that I had to use a fire extinguisher to put it out. I called Nick's, and they came out a few days later to examine what had happened. They told me at that time that someone had bricked up the interior of the chimney (to accommodate that old wood burning stove) and it was essentially worthless as a normal fireplace without having those bricks removed, a service that they couldn't do. This is the information that I wanted BEFORE they charged me a dime for sweeping the chimney in the first place, and certainly before tuck pointing the old chimney. Fast forward 2 years: the crown cap had severely cracked and we were taking water in the chimney. I called Nick's yet again because that work was under warranty, and they did sent someone out to re-surface the crown cap. They also tried to bill me for that work, and only after pushing back did they admit that it was in fact covered by their original policy. 2 years later: the chimney at this point had developed some more cracks due to the water it had taken on, and started to slump a bit. I did a ton of research, and had many bids, and ended up paying Twin City Masonry $17,500 to have the old chimney torn down to the ground and replaced completely, using lime stone slaps at the shoulder and crown cap, and all new bricks throughout. Due to the interior of the chimney, I STILL can't burn a proper fire in that fireplace. We have an electric fireplace right now, and will likely someday switch that up to be gas. To what extend the masonry work that Nick's did damaged our chimney is impossible to say. It probably would need to have been replaced at some point. Furthermore, they probably did a perfectly fine job as chimney sweeps. What I think they had 0 business doing was any masonry work. If you talk with true masons, they will tell you that the industry has loads of people who don't know what they're doing offering up brickwork services, and Nick's is a great example of that. If you JUST want a chimney sweep, go ahead and use them, but be ready for a hard pass when they tell you that you need to have your chimney tuck pointed, resurfaced, etc. NOT worth it. Use a real mason, and press for references if you chimney starts to slant, sag or leak water."

FAQs for brick or stone fireplace repair projects in Minneapolis, MN

Tuckpointing an 8-by-8-foot brick wall section costs between $300 and $1,600, with variations based on mortar condition and accessibility. Walls with intricate brickwork patterns or severely deteriorated mortar tend toward the higher end of this range. Ground-level walls with minimal damage cost less than elevated surfaces or those requiring extensive preparation.

The cost reflects the labor-intensive nature of properly removing damaged mortar without harming surrounding bricks, plus the skilled craftsmanship needed to apply new material correctly. Professional tuckpointing requires specialized tools, material knowledge, and precise application techniques. The investment provides significant value by preventing water damage that could lead to extensive structural repairs costing many times more than preventative maintenance.

To estimate tuckpointing expenses, multiply the area's square footage by the appropriate rate ($5 to $25 per square foot) based on project complexity. Add adjustments for factors like height requirements, accessibility challenges, or specialized materials. For chimney work or other difficult-to-access areas, expect rates toward the upper end of the range. Professional assessments provide the most accurate projections for your specific situation.

While technically possible for small areas, DIY tuckpointing presents significant challenges, including proper mortar removal without brick damage, achieving a consistent joint appearance, and ensuring structural integrity. The process requires specialized tools and materials along with physical dexterity. Professional masons bring experience in identifying underlying issues that might not be apparent to untrained observers. Complex or structurally significant areas should always be entrusted to qualified professionals.

The frequency of tuckpointing depends on environmental exposure, original masonry installation quality, and local climate conditions. Regular inspections, particularly of chimneys and weather-exposed walls, help identify deterioration before it becomes severe. Addressing small areas of deterioration promptly can extend the life of the overall masonry system and prevent more extensive repairs in the future.

While both processes replace deteriorated mortar, tuckpointing involves additional aesthetic enhancement. Repointing simply restores structural integrity by replacing damaged mortar with new material. Tuckpointing adds a decorative element by creating contrasting lines that give the appearance of precision joints. This additional craftsmanship explains why repointing costs $3 to $15 per square foot while tuckpointing ranges from $5 to $25 per square foot.
