Our Story
Welcome to Great Outdoors Services! Founded in 2000, our mission was to deliver superb lakeshore services to the Twin Cities on the beautiful Minnesota lakes. We pride ourselves in knowing we are the first ones on the lakes every year, breaking through the remaining ice; as well as the last ones to be off the lakes for the season as we watch them freeze up for the Minnesota winter ahead!
Our main focus has always been, and always will be to exceed the expectations of all of our clients. We strive to deliver excellence and hope you would be so pleased as to recommend us to others for all of their lakefront needs as well.
We want to hear from you! Click below to schedule service, to inquire about new or used lakefront equipment, or to ask any questions. Thank you, and we look forward to hearing from you soon.
