Aaron Brand is a Minneapolis artist and maker. Laser-cut steel screens, gabion walls, resin and sculpture, and landscapes that read like art. He moves boulders, bends metal, and makes a space feel considered. Friends call him the Rock Wrestler.
Artist, maker, landscaper, designer. One set of hands for the whole arc, from the sculpture to the stonework.
Sculpture, resin, and laser-cut steel. Pieces with real presence, built by someone who thinks like an artist because he is one.
Gabion walls, fountains, fences, custom features. He draws it, then builds it, in reclaimed materials made to last.
He moves the boulders, bends the steel, and makes it all look intentional. They don't call him the Rock Wrestler for nothing.
Beyond the art, Aaron takes on the hands-on jobs, done with the same eye. Pick the closest fit, or just tell him what you've got.
Short runs, 4-ft privacy fences, post-pounded panels. The fence project too small for a fence company to bother with.

Studio — layered panelReal recent jobs around the metro — scope, time, and price.
Half the time, renting the machine and figuring it out yourself costs more than just having me do it.
Minimum-based and quoted up front. Most jobs land between $900 and $3,500.
If the Dingo shows up, there's a machine minimum. Everything is quoted up front — and a small job staying small is the whole point.
A tired yard, a stalled project, a fence run, a drainage headache, an idea that needs a maker. He'll tell you if it's a fit — and he usually can help.
