Irrigation & Landscaping in Excelsior, MN

Excelsior packs more charm per square foot than almost any city on Lake Minnetonka — and more irrigation nuance, too. The historic village lots around Water Street and The Commons are small, tree-shaded, and closely spaced, which means overspray onto a neighbor's porch is one badly aimed head away. We design tight-radius zones with precision nozzles that respect lot lines measured in feet, not acres.

Two local rules matter here more than anywhere else on the lake. First, common irrigation systems serving HOAs and apartment buildings must be registered with the city — a requirement many association boards discover only after a violation notice. Second, drawing irrigation water directly from Lake Minnetonka puts you under DNR appropriation permitting. We handle both: registration for shared systems and compliant design for lake-draw setups, including our dedicated lake-pump irrigation service.

Seasonally, Excelsior enforces an 11am-to-5pm watering ban with odd/even scheduling from May through September, with a 30-day establishment exemption for new sod and seed. Our controllers are programmed to thread all three constraints automatically.
