Patio Town is the Twin Cities leading retailer of do-it-yourself landscaping materials, including concrete retaining wall systems, pavers, landscape rock, natural stone, mulch, decorative rock and other landscaping supplies. Established in 1965 in North St. Paul, Patio Town was the first Twin Cities retail business that sold rock, pavers and retaining walls to homeowners, and quickly established itself as the premier retail outlet for landscaping supplies and hardscape goods.

In 1975, a second Patio Town store opened in Burnsville and in 2005 moved to its current location. The original North St. Paul store was moved to the Oakdale location in 1991, and in 2001 a third location opened in Brooklyn Park. Patio Town also offers complete landscaping services through its design and build group, Villa Landscapes, and also offers unique garden decor, outdoor furniture, fire features, landscape lighting, grills, patio heaters and other outdoor accessories online shipped to any location through Shop-PatioTown.com.
