  • Home to General Mills world headquarters
  • Theodore Wirth Park on eastern border is the largest park in Minneapolis

Golden Valley's defining feature is its relationship with water and terrain. Bassett Creek flows through the heart of the community, creating flood-prone areas, riparian buffers, and varied soil conditions along its corridor. Properties bordering Theodore Wirth Park interface with semi-wild land, bringing both wildlife beauty and lawn challenges like deer browse and seed competition from native plants. The terrain rolls more than typical Hennepin suburbs, creating drainage patterns that affect every lawn. Clay soil dominates but varies in depth and composition with the terrain. Golden Valley homeowners tend to be environmentally conscious, appreciating lawn care that respects the natural systems surrounding their properties.

Featured Golden Valley Project

Bassett Creek Corridor Buffer and Lawn Integration

A property along Bassett Creek needed to balance a required 25-foot riparian buffer with the homeowner's desire for usable lawn space. Previous attempts created an abrupt, unattractive transition between wild buffer and maintained lawn. We designed a three-zone system: native plantings in the buffer zone, a transitional band of low-maintenance fine fescue, and premium bluegrass for the main lawn. Each zone blends into the next, creating an attractive gradient that satisfies both regulatory requirements and aesthetic preferences.

Results

  • Buffer zone meets all Bassett Creek watershed requirements
  • Transitional fine fescue zone eliminated the jarring wild-to-lawn edge
  • Main lawn area maximized within regulatory constraints
  • Property cited by watershed district as model for other homeowners
