"If you have any sort of handyman or landscaping job (or anything else)that needs to be done, I highly recommend contacting Prime Surface Solutions in Waukee. Jett and Emily are absolutely FANTASTIC to work with. We recently hired them to landscape a sloped area where we were battling erosion near our foundation. Not only did they listen to our concerns, they offered advice that would work best for our foundation, burning bushes, lawn, and budget. We had a contract that evening and materials delivered two days later. Jett and Emily were kind, respectful, honest people who worked meticulously with an eye for details others might ignore. I can't think of the last time I saw such hardworking people, and we will DEFINITELY hire them again for other projects. Check out their list of services--they do so much more than landscaping. They are based out of Waukee but will travel-- we live in rural Ogden. If we could give them 10 stars, we would do so! https://www.yelp.com/biz/prime-surface-sol"

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

Well-maintained trees can add significant value to your property. Mature trees enhance curb appeal, provide shade, improve energy efficiency, and can increase property values by up to 10%. They also offer privacy, reduce noise pollution, and create a more inviting outdoor space, making your home more attractive to potential buyers.

The fastest-growing tree species include alder, rowan, silver birch, willow, cypress, and poplar. However, it’s best to consult with an arborist to choose trees that will thrive in your area, as they’re affected by climate. Otherwise, their growth may be stunted, and the trees may die. To reach their growth potential, trees need high-quality, nutrient-rich soil, ample space, and the right amount of water.

You should plant trees in the spring for the best chance at root development and recovery. Spring provides ample moisture and moderate temperatures, reducing the risk of transplant shock. While fall planting is possible, spring conditions are more likely to produce healthier trees, leading to thriving growth and a stronger root system.

Tree maturity significantly affects planting outcomes. Young trees take longer to mature but recover from transplanting with minimal root damage. Mature trees provide immediate benefits like shade, fruit, and improved curb appeal but may be more challenging to transplant. Consult a professional arborist to choose the right tree for your landscape goals.

A five-gallon tree is one grown in a five-gallon container, indicating a compact root ball and smaller size. These trees typically grow two to six feet tall, making them a manageable, cost-effective option. They also transplant easily and establish quickly with proper care, making them ideal for homeowners seeking immediate landscape improvement.

Tree costs vary significantly by species and size. Smaller, common species like a Colorado spruce may cost as little as $30, while ornamental and shade trees are often more expensive due to their size and planting complexity. The larger the tree, the higher your labor and transport fees will be, raising overall costs.
