Neighbors Serving Neighbors in Shorewood
Landscape Charlie was founded in Shorewood and has never left. Our headquarters at 20540 Manor Road places us at the geographic center of our service area, and Shorewood is the community we know most intimately. We drive its roads daily, we shop at its businesses, and we understand its character from the inside out. When we build a landscape in Shorewood, we are building in our own neighborhood.
Shorewood sits on the eastern edge of Lake Minnetonka, occupying a wooded, rolling landscape between Excelsior to the west, Minnetonka to the north, and Chanhassen to the south. The city's roughly 7,500 residents live primarily in single-family homes on wooded lots ranging from half an acre to several acres. This is not a subdivision community. It is a collection of individually built homes set among mature hardwoods, with properties that slope, curve, and present the kind of terrain that makes generic landscape solutions impossible.
Christmas Lake, tucked into Shorewood's southeastern corner, is one of the region's most pristine private lakes. Properties along its shore command among the highest values in the city, and the landscape expectations match. The Shady Island area, the neighborhoods along Strawberry Lane, and the homes lining Smithtown Road each have their own character, and we have built projects in all of these areas.
Because Shorewood is our home, we are invested in every project we complete here in a way that goes beyond the professional. Our work is visible to our own neighbors, our own community. That personal accountability drives a level of care and craftsmanship that defines everything we do.

Local Knowledge
Charlie Kraemer has lived and worked in the Shorewood area for years, building relationships with neighbors, local suppliers, and city staff. When you call Landscape Charlie, you are talking to someone who understands Shorewood's soil conditions, its tree preservation ordinances, its shoreline setback rules, and the character of each neighborhood. That knowledge is built into every design we create and every project we manage.
Accountability
When your landscape contractor lives in the same community, there is an additional layer of accountability. Our work is visible to our neighbors, and our reputation is built one Shorewood project at a time. We do not cut corners because the results follow us home. If something needs attention after installation, we are minutes away. That proximity and personal investment are advantages that no out-of-area contractor can match.
