Building a pole barn in Lester Prairie

If you are building in Lester Prairie, McLeod County, you are roughly 12 miles west of Waconia, close enough that a builder can walk the site with you before the drawings begin.

Heavy clay is common on the farm ground west of the lakes, and clay holds water in low spots, so a good pad is crowned and the site drains before the first post is set. Lots around Lake Waconia, Lake Minnetonka and the smaller lakes fall under shoreland rules, which limit how much hard surface you can add and how close you can build to the water.

If Lester Prairie is where you want to build, the short quote form takes a minute, and the callback covers the lot, the permit and the schedule.
