From Local Roots to a Comprehensive Landscaping Authority
Every great landscape begins with a solid foundation, and the story of Urban Landworks is no different. Founded in 2003 by Mike Bollinger, what started as a deep-seated passion for the green industry has evolved into one of the Twin Cities’ premier design-build-maintain firms. For over two decades, we have been dedicated to transforming outdoor spaces across Minnesota, combining artistic vision with technical precision to create environments that last.
Two Decades of Serving the Twin Cities
Based in Bloomington, MN, Urban Landworks has grown alongside the communities we serve. Our journey from a small local team to a comprehensive authority with 25 dedicated employees is a testament to our commitment to quality. With over 23 years of experience in the local market, we understand the unique challenges of the Minnesota climate—from soil composition to the brutal freeze-thaw cycles that demand “over-engineered” solutions for Hardscaping and Retaining Walls.
Maintaining the Owner-Operated Advantage
Despite our growth, we have never lost sight of our roots. Urban Landworks remains a family-oriented, owner-operated business. Mike Bollinger continues to be a hands-on partner, ensuring that the same passion and professionalism that launched the company in 2003 are present on every job site today. This structure allows us to provide a level of accountability and personal service that larger franchises simply cannot replicate. Whether we are installing a luxury Swimming Pool or providing routine Lawn Maintenance, our team treats every property with the respect it deserves.
