About
From our family lakeshore to yours
At Legacy Lakefronts, we believe your shoreline should feel like a natural extension of your home—clean, intentional, and effortlessly enjoyable.
​
Founded by Shawn, who has over 10 years of experience in the landscape field and avid fisherman & JJ, a lifelong gardener and nature lover. We both have a deep appreciation for the land, water and the lifestyle that lakefront properties support. We understand that your time at the lake is meant for slowing down—whether that’s boating, watching your kids play, or simply enjoying the view without distraction.
​
Our approach is simple: create shoreline environments that are as functional as they are beautiful, with lasting solutions that reduce erosion, maintenance and restore peace of mind.
A More Considered Approach
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every shoreline is different—and every design is approached with care, intention, and respect for the surrounding environment.
​
Our clients choose us because they want more than a quick fix. They want a space that feels right, functions beautifully, and holds its value over time.

Proudly serving Minnesota lake homeowners
​
Your shoreline should be a place to unwind—not a project you’re constantly managing.
We’re currently accepting a limited number of new projects this season.

Reviews
I recently had the chance to see Shawn and JJ launch their new business Legacy Lakefronts.
Shawn is one of the most driven and easy to communicate with people I know. He's organized, professional and genuinely cares about doing things the right way and taking care of his customers. I've also known Shawn and his wife personally for about 5 or 6 years, and they're solid trustworthy people. That kind of character matters when you're hiring someone to work on your property.
