This backyard living space was designed and installed by Villa this summer using Versa-Lok retaining walls and Willow Creek pavers in our new Bronze Blend color.
There may be a nip in the air, but there’s still plenty of time to have Villa Landscapes give your back yard or front entry a makeover this fall.
Take the chill off your outdoor gatherings with a new circular patio and fire ring. Or get cozy around one of the handsome new fireplaces from Harmony Stone that Villa can install for you.
Villa Landscapes has a talented team of landscape designers who are skilled in a variety of disciplines and areas of expertise. Take a look at our online gallery for some ideas, or come in to talk to a Villa designer to see what’s possible. It helps to take some pictures of your existing yard so they can get a preliminary idea of what they’ll have to work with before making a site visit.
Landscaping is one of the best investments you can make in your home to increase its value and livability. Isn’t it time you had a Villa landscape?

Watch our Oakdale Envirolok wall grow right here!
Green landscaping just got greener with the introduction of the Envirolok Vegetated Wall System at Twin Cities Patio Town stores. This revolutionary concept provides a natural solution for erosion control, streambank and shoreline stabilization, stormwater management, and the creation of rain gardens and other functional green spaces.
Envirolok is an environmentally friendly system for abating soil erosion and runoff problems in sensitive areas where traditional site solutions such as retaining walls are not possible. Envirolok vegetated walls are built by weaving rows of stacked, soil-filled geotextile bags together into a cohesive structure and locking them in place with spikes. Then, the face of the wall is planted with native plant plugs placed between the stacked rows of bags, along with a mixture of native plant seeds. Within weeks, plants and grasses grow through the bags and develop extensive root systems that lock into the native soil and form an ecologically sound vegetated erosion control system with permanent structural strength.
Four special native plant seed mixes have been designed for use with the Envirolok system. Each mix includes a wide variety of grasses, sedges and wildflowers to suit your wall’s environment, depending on its proximity to sunlight and water. Envirolok walls can be built to virtually any height with proper engineering.
Envirolok works in concert with Mother Nature to provide a long-term natural site solution. Using a custom plant and seed mix tailored for your site, an Envirolok wall will grow deep-rooted perennial vegetation that continues to strengthen and renew the structure year after year. The wall doesn’t interfere with hydrological processes. It retains oxygen and moisture, and provides habitat that’s safe for amphibious and aquatic species. Everyone wins-except the erosion.
The Envirolok Vegetated Wall System is now available at Patio Town landscape supply stores in Oakdale, Burnsville and Maple Grove. You can see one installed at our Oakdale store, or come back to this site regularly and watch it grow.
For further information on the Envirolok Vegetated Wall System, visit www.versa-lok.com/envirolok.

Are you tired of buying mulch and having all those plastic bags left over? Now you can buy mulch in new ECO Bales at Patio Town and eliminate that waste. With ECO Bales, all you’ll have left over are a couple of baling straps and a paper wrapper.
Each ECO Bale holds 4.5 cubic feet–the equivalent of a bag-and-a-half of mulch-so it’s not only more efficiently packaged but easier to handle as well. ECO Bales are available in Western Red Cedar and five colors of hardwood mulch-natural, jet black, brick red, cedartone and coco-brown.
With ECO Bales, both you and your plantings will be a little greener!
