All Terrain Landscaping Solutions Named Local Company of the Year
in the 2025 Best in Biz Awards
December 2nd, 2025 — All Terrain Landscaping Solutions has been recognized as a Local Company of the Year winner in the 2025 Best in Biz Awards. The judging panel included editors and reporters from The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, USA Today, Fast Company and several other respected national publications.
This award highlights local businesses that demonstrate exceptional craftsmanship, reliability and community impact. For All Terrain, it represents years of commitment to serving Wright County and the West Metro through high quality work, customer trust and a strong local reputation.
All Terrain began with Mitch Helmbrecht, who started mowing lawns as a teenager and built the company through hard work and a simple approach of handshakes, honesty and consistently showing up for customers. That approach continues to define how the company operates today.
This year’s award considered the company’s performance in lakeshore restoration and hardscaping. Judges reviewed project work completed on Lake Minnetonka, Lake Sarah, Sugar Lake and Lake Pulaski. They noted the attention to structural quality, the focus on environmental responsibility and the level of technical skill required for these properties.
“Our work is rooted in the community we serve,” said Owner Mitch Helmbrecht. “Every shoreline we restore and every hardscape we build reflects our commitment to doing the job the right way. This recognition means a great deal because it speaks to the effort our team puts in every day.”
All Terrain has become a trusted partner for lakeshore restoration and hardscape construction throughout Wright County and the West Metro. The company has earned a reputation for combining craftsmanship with long term durability, which has made it a preferred choice for complex shoreline and outdoor construction projects.

All Terrain Landscaping Awarded for Service Excellence
Recognized Among the Best Landscaping Companies in Central Minnesota
Award celebrates lakeshore mastery, community impact, and a “small but trusted” approach to growth.
August 20, 2025 — All Terrain Landscaping Solutions, a locally owned Central Minnesota landscaping company, has been honored with a 2025 Global Recognition Award for service excellence. The recognition highlights All Terrain’s leadership in lakeshore design and restoration, precision hardscapes, and a community-first way of doing business that has helped the company become one of the most trusted names in the West Metro while staying intentionally small and personal.
“All Terrain was built on simple promises: show up, do it right, and treat people well,” said Mitch Helmbrecht, founder and owner of All Terrain. “We are proud this award recognizes the craft our team brings to every shoreline, retaining wall, and paver patio as well as the way we care for the communities we serve.”
Built here. Serving here.
Rooted in Buffalo and operating across the West Metro, All Terrain Landscaping serves Central Minnesota — from Annandale to Lake Minnetonka and everywhere in between. The company’s service mix spans custom landscape design, retaining walls, paver patios & walkways, tree and shrub installations, snow & ice management, and more, delivered by a crew known for craftsmanship and follow through.
Lakeshore experts. Protecting what makes Minnesota special.
All Terrain is best known for lakeshore design and restoration: stabilizing banks, solving erosion, and building beautiful, durable waterfront spaces that respect environmental rules and protect shorelines for the long term. Projects blend engineering know how, with thoughtful design so properties look great and last.
A growth story that stayed grounded.
What began with Mitch mowing neighborhood lawns at age 14 has grown into a respected regional company without losing the “we treat your property like it’s our own” mindset. Today, homeowners, cabin owners, HOAs, and businesses call All Terrain for work that is done right the first time, communicated clearly, and built to endure Minnesota’s seasons.
Investing in the next generation.
Beyond projects, All Terrain gives back by sharing career pathways and entrepreneurship lessons with local students, including presentations at Wright Technical Center. It is one more way All Terrain keeps its roots in Central Minnesota while helping the region thrive.
What this award means.
The Global Recognition Award spotlights All Terrain’s service excellence, innovation in problem solving, and community impact. For clients, it is reassurance that the company’s well reviewed craft and service culture meet a high external bar, especially in complex projects like shoreline stabilization and multi-phase hardscapes.
“Recognition is nice, but our standard is the customer standing at the edge of a newly stabilized shoreline or stepping onto a new patio and saying, ‘This is exactly what we hoped for,’” Helmbrecht added.
