Lawn Care, Landscaping & Snow Removal in White Bear Lake, MN

White Bear Lake is home for Signature Lawns. Our shop is at 4177 Bellaire Ave, and we have been mowing, building and plowing for our neighbors around the lake since 1998. From the older homes near downtown and Lake Avenue to the neighborhoods around Birch Lake and Goose Lake, we know the yards, the slopes and the winters here.

Lawn care for White Bear Lake yards

Our lawn care service covers mowing and maintenance, fertilization, seeding, sod and core aeration for homes and businesses across the city. Many White Bear Lake homes sit near a lake, pond or wetland, and lawn runoff ends up in that water. Minnesota limits phosphorus lawn fertilizer to new lawns or soil-test needs, and state law requires fertilizer that lands on driveways, walks or streets to be cleaned up so it does not wash into storm drains and the lake.

In fall, mature trees across town drop a lot of leaves. Our fall cleanup and aeration clears leaves, cleans out beds, gives the lawn a final mow and core-aerates so the grass comes back thick in spring. When storms bring down limbs, we clear the debris with skid steers and track loaders. Keep in mind that Ramsey County is under a state quarantine for emerald ash borer, so ash wood cannot leave the county without state permission.

Landscaping and hardscaping near the lake

Lakeshore and sloped lots are common here, and they come with rules. White Bear Lake’s shoreland ordinance requires a vegetation permit before clearing in the shore impact zone, bluff impact zone or on steep slopes. It requires a grading permit to move more than 10 cubic yards of material in those areas, compared with 50 cubic yards elsewhere. Retaining walls and boulder walls in the shore impact zone are only allowed to correct a documented erosion problem confirmed by the DNR Area Hydrologist, and work below the ordinary high water level needs a DNR permit. Homes in the Old White Bear neighborhood also fall under design guidelines the city asks owners to review with a planner. It is worth checking those rules early when you plan a lakeside project.

Our landscaping team handles design, plantings, sod, mulch and rock, irrigation, and shrub and tree pruning and removal. Our hardscaping crew builds paver patios, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, retaining walls and shoreline restoration, with over 40 years of combined experience in the industry.

Snow removal in White Bear Lake

According to the city, White Bear Lake averages about 54 inches of snow a year. City crews generally plow streets once 3 inches or more accumulate, and sidewalks the city clears are left with an inch or two of snow rather than bare pavement. After 3 inches, parking on city streets is restricted until they are plowed curb to curb, and from November 1 through April 1 vehicles cannot stay on the street for more than 24 hours. A cleared driveway makes all of that easier.

• Residential snow removal: driveway plowing, sidewalk and step shoveling, and salting, with seasonal contracts or per-visit service.
• Commercial snow removal: parking lot plowing with pusher blades, sidewalk clearing, salting and ice management, and snow hauling for businesses, HOAs and multi-family buildings.

We offer 24/7 emergency snow removal, and you can sign up for a 2026–27 snow contract anytime during the season.
