"Preston and the Iowa Landscaping crew were great to work with. They did a raised flower bed in the front of our home, planted another area for us, and built a retaining wall area on the side of our house. The design process was seem-less, Preston stayed in constant contact with us, and the end result was phenomenal. Could not be happier to recommend to anyone and everyone. "

Locally owned and operated company right here in the state of Iowa. We do take care of any excavation or grading needs a homeowner might need. With 20 years of experience in the industry, we offer a fair and competitive price and we are always available to answer any questions.

"Billy did a great job on our project! He informed me every step of the way and responded to my questions in less than a day. And in most cases he responded in less than an hour. He was also very patient as we had to delay a few weeks due to my scheduling conflicts. He was very careful around my house while moving all the dirt and rock. I’ll definitely hire him again for other projects!"

FAQs for landscape yard or garden installation projects in Des Moines, IA

Keep your landscape healthy with a steady routine: prune trees and shrubs, mow and edge the lawn, fertilize, aerate, and test the soil every season. Water deeply on a schedule, reseal decks or hardscape when needed, and shore up retaining walls right away. Finish with seasonal chores—mulch beds in spring and winterize tender plants before the first freeze. Following this checklist keeps your yard looking its best all year.

Start by sketching a wish list—shade trees, a patio, maybe a water feature—then set a realistic budget. A landscape pro can walk the yard with you, point out drainage or grading concerns, and turn your ideas into a detailed design. Break the work into phases if needed and lock in a timeline that fits your schedule. With a clear plan and price range, you’ll avoid surprises and keep the project on track.

Landscaping project timelines vary. Planting flowers might wrap up in an afternoon, but building a patio or outdoor kitchen can take several weeks, plus extra time for design approval and material delivery. Add in tasks like grading or utility work, and the calendar stretches further. Map out each phase—design, permits, construction, and cleanup—so you know what to expect and can keep the crew on schedule.

Achieving a refreshed landscape on a limited budget does not demand a huge investment. You can transform your yard with smart, cost-controlled improvements that deliver a striking visual change. A focused budget of under $5,000 supports projects such as installing a simple patio, updating mulching, and adding attractive border plants. This approach not only revitalizes your outdoor space but also optimizes every dollar spent, ensuring an appealing and functional design without overspending.
