Aaron Brand is a Minneapolis designer and maker. Quick yard & garden refreshes, custom lighting, carpentry, and builds — work that actually looks good when he leaves. Inside the house and out in the yard.
Aaron Brand works across the whole space, not just the punch list. Yard and garden refreshes, custom lighting from salvaged materials, carpentry, furniture, and the handyman jobs that finally get done right.
He brings something most crews don't: taste. A real design eye, a workshop full of ideas, and a habit of leaving a place looking better than the brief asked for — inside or out.
The daily bread is the quick refresh — but Aaron makes and builds too.
High-impact outdoor makeovers — cleanup, edging, mulch, fresh plantings, a tidy reset. The refresh that makes a yard look cared-for again, fast.
Spring wake-ups and fall tidy-downs. Beds cleared, debris hauled, borders sharpened — the recurring short job that keeps a property sharp all season.
Original fixtures built from salvaged and reclaimed materials. Warm, organic, designed for the space — not pulled from a catalog.
Built-ins, shelving, custom furniture, planters, small structures. Aaron builds what the space needs — indoors or out.
The fixes that have been on the list too long. Drywall, trim, doors, hardware, lighting installs. Done right, done clean.
Not sure what the space needs? Aaron can help you see it — room and yard concepts, material sourcing, a design eye most crews don't bring.
Swap these tiles for real photos — before/after pairs for yard refreshes sell the short jobs best.
I look at the whole space, not just the task. The right materials and a little care turn a to-do into something that actually looks good when I leave.
Every job quoted upfront — no surprises.
Rates reflect real craft, real materials, and a maker who cares how it looks when he leaves.
