"Sommers Construction, Ankeny, IA, just finished re-tuckpointing my home foundation. They even took off a few boards and got in below my deck on a very low, rocky surface to complete an area on that side of the house. Both brothers were very professional, reasonable, honest, knowledgeable, thorough, and hard-working. They cleaned up the work area and completed the project in a little over a day. I couldn't be happier with the final result - 6 stars if the option was available! Thank you. ~S in Urbandale, IA"

"Overall the work was done (Fall 2019) fairly well and from the curb it all looks nice. The workers were very polite and pretty punctual, hard working, and respectful. Unfortunately, there was a lot of miscommunication along the way, and some sloppy work on both the concrete and retaining walls. The layout of the steps changed and resulted in a lower walkway/steps than what they tore out, which required me to lay a couple extra courses of block and caps myself later to keep the adjacent landscaping from sliding onto the concrete. The front stoop looks great and the brick repair they did was well done. The driveway looked great after the concrete stage was finished, but when they returned to do the walls, they left a lot of scars and scratches from their skid loader scraping the driveway and turning on loose gravel, and they set a spinning saw down on the driveway leaving a pretty good sized cut in an obvious place. They did come back in the Spring 2020 and patch the gouges and holes and cuts with concrete patch but the color doesn't match well at all. We agreed to widen the approach about 3-4 feet, but that ended up maybe 20 inches wider. It works (I added a 3rd stall), but not what we talked about. They made a surprising attempt to do some pretty non-conventional/ugly course laying on one of the walls that we halted and rectified, a course that was not straight that they did return and fix, and wall corner joins that I don't really like but will live with. They were pretty pushy about getting paid for the concrete stage halfway through the project, when I was told by the owner/estimator they wouldn't take anything until the project was complete and I was happy with the work. I paid them, but I can't say I'm completely happy with the work."

He kept push us out on his calendar. We dropped him. He had us paid for the hour that he worked on the Chimney before exiting. Very poor communication if we are scheduled? If he is starting on the day he last told us? Problem answering texts."

Being the leading lawn care and landscaping company in Des Moines, IA requires ongoing dedication to our quality of work and customer service. With outdoor services that include fertilization, weed control, irrigation/sprinklers, weekly mowing and maintenance, and landscape design, we turn your lawn into the best on the block.

"So we used this company for irrigation and it has been a disaster. The technician had NO IDEA what was going on. He was in our crawl space pulling valves and didn’t know what he was pulling. We have since had CRAZY HIGH WATER WORKS BILLS from them “messing” with our irrigation system. We have two meters and the one specifically for our irrigation system has been insanely high! Nobody will return our calls, we’ve been waiting for a phone call from a supervisor for two weeks now. **we were hung up on earlier by a customer service rep** RIDICULOUS. WISH WE HAD NEVER TRUSTED THIS COMPANY WITH OUR BUSINESS We’ve had their billing company call us multiple times to collect a payment but won’t return our calls about paying our bills that they’ve caused us! We’ve paid water works $350 and we now have a bill of $930 because of APLUS being terrible. DO NOT USE THEM UNLESS YOU WANT TO OWE WATER WORKS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS 3 weeks later and they still haven’t been professional enough to be responsive and refund us"

FAQs for brick and stone patios, walks, and steps installation projects in Des Moines, IA

When cleaning your flagstone patio, begin by gently hosing off loose dirt and debris. Use a mild solution of white vinegar and water or diluted dish soap to scrub the surface with a soft-bristled brush. Avoid using abrasive tools, such as wire brushes, as they can damage the stone’s seal and finish. This careful approach effectively removes mold and grime while preserving the natural beauty of your patio.

Flagstone naturally offers a neutral palette that includes shades of grey, black, red, yellow, brown, and tan, and its inherent color cannot be altered. Choosing varieties like bluestone provides a subtle bluish tint that complements many exterior designs. These natural hues enhance curb appeal and create a refined, timeless look in your outdoor space, ensuring a sophisticated finish with minimal upkeep.

Flagstone for a patio must have a minimum thickness of 1.5 inches to reliably support furniture and foot traffic. Using stone that is two to three inches thick is recommended to ensure lasting durability. The increased thickness prevents cracking under load and enhances long-term performance. Investing in thicker flagstone provides superior stability and resistance to weather conditions, ensuring your outdoor space remains both safe and attractive.

You can paint a flagstone patio by using a high-quality, outdoor elastomeric latex paint designed for heavy foot traffic. Painting not only refreshes the patio’s appearance but also creates a waterproof barrier that protects the stone from damage. Regular reapplication every one to two years maintains its durability and visual appeal, ensuring your patio remains both stylish and well-protected.
