Leaving No Stone Unturned
When Kevin Terhaar won his first landscaping project in 1985, he did so under one guiding principle – leave no stone unturned. With his infectious enthusiasm, tenacity, and good, old fashioned Midwestern grit, he started Medina-based North Metro Companies providing custom landscaping services to homes and businesses throughout the Twin Cities and surrounding area.
Kevin’s common-sense approach to developing the business certainly paid off. Today, he’s one of Minnesota’s leading experts on landscape design and build with a large geographic reach and diverse client base. Together with his wife, Mary Beth and a staff of 70+ employees and 7 office personnel, Kevin offers quality landscaping and installation services including irrigation systems, hardscapes, sod and seed, and commercial maintenance services.
So, what’s Kevin’s secret – his unwavering commitment to developing long-term relationships with his clients and his employees. At North Metro Companies, loyalty matters, and Kevin goes above and beyond to find and retain the highest quality talent providing valuable hands-on experience and opportunities to excel in the business. His commitment to his customers and employees is the cornerstone of the company. It’s the reason his clients keep coming back.

Currently this was the only place where I could find sod. Lowe's, Home Depot, and Menard's claimed they didn't know when or if they would get any. On top of that this was $2 a roll cheaper than any other place i looked up. Self serve so bring your checkbook.

This year, we had them put in another, much larger retaining wall to extend our back yard. It's beautiful! We also then had them modify the previous retaining walls to put rock…

My 80 year old mother lost a beautiful birch last year and we came here to find a replacement. Kevin Terhaar was amazing and patient in showing us numerous trees until the perfect replacement was found. Mom picked out a beauty. The price was better then anywhere in the Twin Cities. I searched all over.
