Complete Outdoor Living for Life in the Brainerd Lakes

The best memories often start outside. Summer dinners on the patio. Friends gathered around the fire. Kids laughing long after dark. 

If your backyard isn’t set up for the life you want to live, we can help. At Yardcreations, we design and build complete outdoor living spaces where every element works together so your backyard becomes the place for slow mornings, lively evenings, and everything in between.

Why Brainerd Homeowners Trust Yardcreations


“At Yard Creations, the people were responsive, creative, and, importantly, patient.  The installation was excellent and, when I had problems with the watering system due to low water pressure, they worked diligently to solve the problem.”
