Lynde Greenhouse & Nursery and Landscape Design occupies an interesting spot in any Dakota County landscaping comparison. On paper, the credentials are hard to ignore: a flawless 5/5 Google rating backed by 269 reviews is the kind of track record few local competitors can match, including Triple Landscaping. That volume of positive feedback suggests consistency, not a lucky streak, and it signals a team that homeowners genuinely recommend after the project wraps.
The catch, for Dakota County readers specifically, is geography. Lynde is based at 9293 Pineview Ln N in Maple Grove, roughly 35.77 km from the Dakota County service area we're reviewing. That's a meaningful drive compared to closer options like Triple Landscaping, and it can factor into scheduling, site visits, and delivery of nursery stock.
Where Lynde clearly shines is accessibility in other ways:
- Seven-day availability, with 9 AM–7 PM weekday hours and weekend openings
- A combined greenhouse, nursery, and design operation under one roof
- A working website at lyndegreenhouse.com for browsing and contact
- A direct line at (763) 420-4400 for quick quotes or questions
- Strong social proof through hundreds of verified reviews
Because it's listed as both a general contractor and a store, it suits homeowners who want to walk the nursery, pick plants in person, and then loop in a designer — a hands-on experience some pure install crews don't offer.
Best for: Dakota County homeowners who don't mind the drive north and value a nursery-backed design process with an exceptionally strong review record. If proximity is your top priority, a closer competitor may fit better.
