After 5 years of running a tiltrotator in our fleet, it still amazes us how versatile and efficient they are. We have both an & and they both help us do amazing work

We recently wrapped up a small step and grading project at a cabin with extremely tight working conditions. While the 235 may have seemed oversized for a project like this, it turned out to be the perfect machine for the job. We were able to stay positioned at the top of the steps in one spot and complete the entire installation from there.

With the amount of trees surrounding the site, our only option was to swing all of the material over the deck. Definitely not the ideal approach, but having the Hydra Grapple equipped with lock valves gave us added peace of mind. Even with that extra safety measure, we still took every precaution and made sure each step had a secure grip before moving it.

One of the biggest advantages of the tiltrotator is the ability to quickly switch between attachments without ever leaving the cab. The time savings and efficiency really add up on projects like this.
The backyard was also extremely tight and had already begun eroding from previous construction. We carefully worked our way in with the 235, removed several dead trees, excavated a patio, hauled in 18 loads of fill, and graded our way back out.

Before adding a tiltrotator to our fleet, a project like this would have taken significantly longer, required much more labor, and been far more challenging overall. With the tiltrotator, it became a smooth, efficient, and enjoyable project that we completed in just a couple of days. #235

Every stone placed with purpose.
This 25’ tall boulder wall is a perfect example of what happens when experience meets the right equipment—rock-solid craftsmanship built to stand the test of time 🪨
We’re proud to have been part of the site development at Highpoint Vista in Chaska. Working with Northwest Total Site was a pleasure, and we’re excited to watch this project come to life as the homes begin to take shape.
With incredible views overlooking downtown Chaska and the river bottom, the homes above this wall are going to have a truly spectacular setting.

Fresh new look for a failing wall in Eden Prairie 💪
The crew absolutely crushed it on this one! The new Redi-Rock Novem system looks incredible — a major upgrade from the old hollow-core small block. Not only is it much more structural and durable, but it’s perfect for shorter walls too.
The DX140 and Steelwrist really shined on this job — helping us keep the street clean and minimizing restoration work. 👏
We also added limestone riprap to the drainage swale coming from the tennis courts. It gives a clean, natural look andtakes care of the erosion issues we were seeing before.
Solid work all around by the team on this transformation! 🔥

Eagan Redi Rock Wall Project – Completed! 💪🚧
After all the blood, sweat, and tears, we’re thrilled to announce that our Eagan Redi Rock Wall project is finally complete! 🎉 This job threw us some serious curveballs, but thanks to our relentless crew, we powered through each challenge and came out on top. 💥
Like most projects, there were plenty of unexpected surprises lurking underground. One of the biggest hurdles came the day before we were set to start when we discovered an old water main was in direct conflict with the footing. After a quick removal of the water main and a small soil correction, we were able to finally break ground. But the surprises didn’t stop there!
The first wall went up, but just as we were preparing to start on wall #2, an 8-week utility delay set us back. And when we got the green light, things got complicated again. The new fiber optic line had been bored in the wrong spot – right through the middle of the concrete footing. No problem, we moved the wall a few feet and rerouted the fiber. But then came another surprise: a massive soil correction for about half of the 400’ long wall.
What started as a minor issue quickly escalated into one of our largest and most challenging soil corrections yet. We ended up excavating over 6,000 yards of material, replacing it with select granular and compatible fill. Along the way, we navigated around fiber conduits, water & sewer lines, and utilities, all while keeping everything safe and on track. 🚧
With winter fast approaching, our team worked around the clock, pushing through long hours and tough days to get the job done. And now, the road is set to be finished on time, just as we planned! 🏗️
This project tested our limits, but it also showed us the power of teamwork, problem-solving, and persistence. We’re proud to have been a part of it and can’t wait for more projects like this in the future.

Patiently waiting like kids in the lunch line…expect they’re hungry for dirt.

Tomorrow we dig! Excited to team up with Rachel Contracting on this racetrack-style big block wall project - going to be a fun one!

Phase One Complete on CSAH 26 in Eagan!
We’ve wrapped up the first phase of our CSAH 26 Eagan project, installing just over 5,000 square feet of Redi-Rock ledgestone. The HC color top stain really brings the wall to life!
Like many of our projects, this one came with its fair share of challenges — but we rolled with the punches and got the job done.
The footing started off with a surprise: an abandoned water main that had to be removed, followed by a soil correction. Not long after, we encountered an engineering error in the footing elevation that led to another round of soil correction before we could even start stacking block.
Once we got going, we poured a massive 132-yard concrete footing. It might seem excessive, but when you’re building to MnDOT spec, you build it right. This wall required a footing drain tile, a back drain, and granular backfill — all essential for great long-term drainage.
But with drainage that efficient, hitting the moisture levels required for passing density tests became a challenge of its own. The sand we used needed a 13% optimal moisture level, and to meet that, we used over 100,000 gallons of water — the most we’ve ever used on a project of this size!
Near the finish line, we hit one more hurdle: a manufacturing mold issue affected the height of the freestanding caps. Thankfully, Eull’s Manufacturing stepped up and quickly provided replacement blocks and caps to keep us moving forward.
Some jobs go smooth. Others throw curveballs. But at Blakeborough Hardscapes, we problem-solve, adapt, and keep pushing forward.

🇺🇸 Freedom isn’t just a word — it’s a foundation. One that was fought for, bled for, and handed down with hope that we’d keep building something better.
Today, under the summer sun and beside the red, white, and blue — we’re reminded that freedom is work. It’s sacrifice. It’s sweat and dirt and showing up every day to do your part.
We’re so deeply grateful for the brave men and women who made this life possible — and for those still fighting to protect it.
This country isn’t perfect, but it’s home. And we’re thankful for every block laid and every hand lifted in the name of liberty.
Happy Independence Day. May we never take it for granted.
