Get matched with top landscape synthetic grass for putting greens, play areas, etc. installers in Ames, NE

"Derek showed up at the appointed time and date to discuss our landscaping needs.  We informed him of our budget and told him he had free reign to suggest  some interesting ideas...we were mainly interested in having something that would make our yard stand apart from other houses in the neighborhood.  As promised, within 2 weeks of his initial consultation, we received via email a .PDF of the design plan, including the names of the proposed flowers and shrubs.  We were provided with a web address of where we could see pictures of the plants, as many were unfamiliar to us.  In our excitement over the plan, we decided to add some additional items...landscape lighting to the front and some landscaping around a maple tree and bird bath in our backyard.  We asked that the old retaining wall stones be re-purposed for the backyard to save on costs.  Derek readily replied yes to our changes and submitted a revised bid.  We approved the final plans and set a date to begin work. There was a few days rain delay, but of course that was not their fault. The crew that dismantled the old retaining wall were careful with the stones and constructed a nice border around our tree and birdbath.  They completed this project with some hostas around the tree and some some day lilies between the tree and birdbath.  It was finished with some cocoa brown mulch.  The leftover stones  were neatly stacked against our fence by the back gate.  The front yard plants, accent boulders, new retaining wall and lighting ended up to be beautiful!  The crew that arrived each day were courteous, professional and cleaned up the driveway and steps at the end of each day.  The person in charge of the plantings shared tips on how to care for the plants.  There were 3 smaller plants that did not hold up well in transfer from the nursery, due to the heat.  They watered and fertilized everything and told us to watch them.  If they did not perk up, they would be replaced.  We are so pleased with the results and spend all of our free time on the front porch enjoying the new yard!  We highly recommend Penton and would certainly contract with them again!

"Our driveway tear out and replacement went great. Crew got there about 10 am and immediately started to work on the demo. By the end of the day, they had removed all the old concrete in the driveway and front stoop, framed in the new drive and stoop, lain the sub-grade, and installed the rebar. They were back first thing the next morning to pour the concrete and finished before noon. Mike also put in wider expansion joints to combat the "street creep" that was the cause of our driveway and minor structural issues. We had an old basketball hoop set in concrete that that they removed for us and filled the hole in with dirt. My wife couldn't believe how fast the crew worked during the whole process and they did an excellent job of cleaning up both days they were there. I did have a bid that was $200 lower than but it didn't include rebar. Very satisfied with the work done and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them."

"Very impressed! Quote was reasonable, crew worked hard and communicated well. Hired for another job on the spot. Highly recommend!"

"We are incredibly please with the quality of concrete work done for our patio. The guys contracted to come out got the project done in less than 3 days. They were here before 7 am and worked hard. Even with the heavy machinery they used, they were very considerate and laid down boards to drive on, resulting in absolutely no damage to the yard. It turned out lovely. I do not feel as satisfied with the quality of work on the mulch beds. From a quick glance, the dark mulch and healthy plants look nice, but a good portion of the grass around the mulch beds was trampled down to solid dirt, the natural edging now looks like the mulch edge is just a bunch of dirt everywhere. When I water the plants in the beds, the mulch is thin enough around some plants that it is just solid mud (it is thicker in other areas). One of the beds installed was supposed to be a straight 3ft wide up to an A/C unit and get wider to be around it. They were unable to make a straight line in the edging and the bed goes from 3 ft to a quick 2ft and then around the A/C. It looks sloppy, not aesthetic. One of my popup drains was not installed to be flat with the ground, it's cover has been broken barely two weeks later. I had asked and payed for all the stumps and old bushes to be removed from the mulch bed, there have now been four stumps with green shoots I’ve noticed coming up through the mulch. Turns out they left them and just covered them with dirt and mulch. Also, the Red Dragon Red Maple tree that was put in is pretty, but for $300, I thought it would be taller than 4.5’ tall. I called the owner with my concerns before constructing this review, he did not have very good customer service. He dismissed all my concerns and said that it was to be expected with landscaping and construction. But, his own cement crew was able to show how little damage can be made by being considerate with heavy construction equipment. He said he would come out to look at the forgotten stumps in the mulch and was defensive about the popup drain that was damaged. He insisted that they were even with the ground surface. He did send someone out the following week to remove additional stumps…he removed one. $7084"

"Great! They did exactly what they said they would do when they said they would do it. They know what they are doing. Great professional work and great prices!"

"The quality of work was good and they were excellent."

"Amazing they did a wonderful job and also did the sidewalk at a very reasonable price"

"The owner Jeffery Goetz was very prompt with providing me with an estimate and once I accept his people were there in about a day.  The work progressed very quickly and had it been for a heavy rain the job would have been been completed in about 2 and a half days.  Jeff kept us informed as to what was going on and was very professional. Upon completion the debris was cleaned up and the wall is just what we wanted.  We are very pleased with the finished product!

"I highly recommend this company. They were professional and so easy to work with. We talked briefly about our wants and then scheduled a time to do a walk through to review the job in detail. Nathan came prepared with paint samples in the color we thought we wanted. After the walk through we decided on a completely different shade of paint, Striving For Excellence was more than understanding and accommodating. Even after the change in paint color we had a few additional changes in wants, and Striving For Excellence worked diligently to meet all of our needs. Our schedule has been a little crazy lately and they accommodated the job completion around our schedule, which in some cases was after normal operating hours. The crew is more than professional, they are personable, that is hard to come by with companies. Upon arriving, Cameron, Nathan, Donivon, and Gavin professionally introduced themselves. All of our questions were answered and with their knowledge and expertise, they were able to easily navigate us through not only our needs, but our wants as well. They were prompt and cleaned up behind their selves. All employees were friendly, honest, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond our expectations. This is a company we highly recommend, and will continue to use in the future for all our needs."

"It went great! Brandon and crew were in and out in one day, they took down like 6 bushes/trees, trimmed the bush in the back yard, trimmed my front tree and rose bush!! It was a lot of work and a lot to haul away and they did it all on an extremely hot day. The turn around time was amazing, met on a Wednesday, work was complete on Thursday. I highly recommend this company, they did a great job!!!"
