I am skilled in most light duty home labor. I stay very busy pulling weeds/painting properties that have gotten out of control. We give fair quotes & do very efficient work.

"Excellent information before the sale. Came at scheduled time and did work in a timely way. Excellent explanation of the system and how it worked. Return to explain the thermostat to me. I was able to reduce the cost significantly by receiving a rebate as part of the Energy Efficiency Rebate Program. It has also reduced my monthly energy bill. So far the new system has worked flawlessly."

"Purchased 19 arbivide trees and 4 other trees last summer. All the arbivide were dead this spring and all had a 1 year guarantee. Been trying to get this addressed since April 2022. It is now the end of June. I have never been able to talk to the same person. Each one has a different story. Been lied to 3 times. And had one sales person tell me she was directed to put me off and not respond. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. It is a complete rip off and no customer service or follow through on guarantee. Spent 4000.00 and still have 19 dead trees in my yard."

FAQs for xeriscape installation projects in Ankeny, IA

Sprinkler systems aren't ideal for xeriscaped gardens because they can't effectively water around rocks and hardscape elements. Water often runs off or evaporates before reaching the soil. Instead, a drip irrigation system is a better choice, as it delivers water directly to plant roots, ensuring efficient water use and promoting healthy growth.

Your xeriscaped garden requires minimal yet essential maintenance. Regularly inspecting and adjusting your drip irrigation system, along with occasionally adding mulch and gravel, keeps your garden operating efficiently. Routine tasks—such as pruning, aerating, fertilizing, and soil testing—promote deep-root development and sustained plant health. This ensures maintenance remains low while your garden preserves its water-saving design. 

While the initial cost of xeriscaping can be similar to or even higher than traditional landscaping, it often saves you money in the long run. Xeriscaping reduces water usage and requires less maintenance, lowering your ongoing costs. In drought-prone areas, these savings can make xeriscaping a more affordable and sustainable option over time.

Xeriscaping has potential disadvantages that include high initial labor and a departure from traditional lush landscapes. It demands extensive planning and careful installation, which increases upfront effort. Additionally, the less conventional appearance may not suit every homeowner’s taste and could impact curb appeal in areas where traditional greenery is valued, though its water-saving benefits remain advantageous.

Yes, xeriscaping can increase your home's value, especially in drought-prone areas. A water-efficient, low-maintenance landscape is attractive to buyers looking to save on water bills and reduce upkeep. While the exact increase in value varies, xeriscaping often enhances curb appeal and marketability to potential homebuyers when you’re selling your home.
