A Family Business, Built on Doing It Right
Family-owned landscape design & build, serving the Twin Cities for 37+ years.
Founded in 1989 in Stillwater, MN, Schifsky Companies began with a focus on retaining walls and paver patios. Over 37+ years we’ve grown and evolved — expanding into 3D landscape design, complete design-build services, and both residential and commercial excavation.
As a proud family-owned business, we’ve stayed committed to the same core values the whole way: leadership, integrity, fortitude, and excellence. Today, Schifsky Companies is a respected name across the Twin Cities, delivering projects that are built to last.
Our Core Values
Leadership
We take responsibility for our actions, support one another, and lead by example every day.
Integrity
We do what we say we’re going to do — even when it’s harder, costs more, or no one is watching.
Fortitude
We face challenges head-on with resilience, discipline, and grit, and finish strong without cutting corners.
Excellence
We hold ourselves to a higher standard in how we think, communicate, and perform.
Design First, in 3D
We believe a project succeeds or fails in the design phase. Our designers create a tailored plan with realistic 3D renderings, so you can see and refine your outdoor space before any work begins — no guesswork. From there, one accountable team handles the build start to finish, keeping your project on schedule and clearly communicated.
