Expert solutions for your irrigation and landscape lighting needs.

Expert solutions for your irrigation and landscape lighting needs.
With over 23 years of experience in the irrigation industry, Dave Works Outdoors is focused on delivering smart, reliable solutions tailored to your needs. Our goal is to create outdoor spaces that you and your family can truly enjoy—combining function, efficiency, and long‑lasting results.

We handle everything irrigation‑related, from system start‑ups and mid‑season checkups to repairs, upgrades, and full rehabs of older systems.
Have a new garden—or upgrading an existing one? We also offer add‑ons, water‑saving solutions, drip systems, and flower‑pot irrigation. When the season ends, we take care of proper winter shutdowns to protect your system.
Landscape lighting has come a long way—it’s more efficient, better looking, and more affordable than ever. We repair and expand existing systems or design and install lighting from a few accent lights to a full yard and garden setup.
We also offer color‑changing options, even for many existing systems. Beyond curb appeal, lighting adds an important layer of safety—homes with landscape lighting are 33% less likely to be burglarized.
If you’re dealing with a bad wire in your lighting system or a valve or wiring issue in your irrigation system, we can help. We use top‑of‑the‑line locating equipment to find problems quickly and accurately - saving time, money, and frustration.
Got a small outdoor project you’ve been putting off? We’ve got it covered. We help with mulching, planting bed design, and small installs—perfect for refreshing your landscape without taking on a major job yourself.
Hi, I’m Dave. I’ve spent 23 years in the irrigation and landscape lighting industry, mostly as a hands‑on field technician repairing systems. I take pride in doing the job right—no shortcuts.
I treat every home like my own and stay in close contact with homeowners, so they always know their options and what’s happening on their property.
My wife and I have lived in Southwest Minneapolis for decades, and we love this area—from the creek and nearby lakes to the small, locally owned shops and restaurants. We have two daughters and two granddaughters close by, and we care deeply about this community and its future.
After years of working for other companies, everything finally lined up to start our own family‑run business. We’re excited to meet new customers—and reconnect with many I’ve had the chance to help over the years.
Thank you for checking out our website.
