Custom Metal Fabrication & Steel Landscaping | Duluth & Grand Rapids, MN

Industrial Strength. Modern Design. Professional Minnesota Craftsmanship.

At High Standards Landscaping, we believe your outdoor space should be as durable as it is beautiful. That is why we operate a dedicated in-house metal fabrication shop. Unlike other landscapers who outsource their steel work, our team handles the entire process—from custom design and shop welding to final installation on your property.

Whether you are looking to terrace a steep hillside in Duluth or add architectural flair to a lakeside home in Grand Rapids, our custom steel solutions provide a sleek, modern alternative to traditional stone and wood.

Our Metal Fabrication Services

Custom Steel Retaining Walls

Traditional block and boulder walls are bulky and take up valuable yard space. Our steel retaining walls offer a slim, ultra-strong profile that is perfect for the Northland’s rugged terrain.


  • Space Saving: Gain more usable flat land on Duluth hillsides.
  • Structural Integrity: Engineered to withstand the pressure of Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles.
  • Modern Aesthetic: Available in raw steel, a natural rusted patina (Corten), or powder-coated finishes.


Architectural Steel Planters
Elevate your curb appeal with custom-built planters. Because we fabricate these in-house, we can build to any dimension—perfect for entryways, patio borders, or raised garden beds.

Heavy-duty construction that won’t bow or crack over time.

Custom sizing to fit your specific porch, patio, or landscape layout in Grand Rapids.

Professional Steel Edging
Stop replacing plastic edging every spring. Our permanent steel edging provides the crispest lines possible between your lawn, mulch, and gravel paths. It stays in the ground, handles the weed-whacker with ease, and looks better every year.
