Services
Landscape Design
Our landscape design process begins with a thorough site analysis to create functional, aesthetically pleasing outdoor spaces. We offer 2D and 3D plans tailored to Iowa's climate, focusing on plant selection, hardscape integration, and sustainable practices. Our designs balance client preferences with environmental considerations, ensuring landscapes that thrive year-round while enhancing property value.
Retaining Walls
We specialize in durable retaining walls engineered to prevent erosion and stabilize slopes. Using concrete or natural stone blocks, our walls feature proper drainage systems with geo-grid reinforcement for structures over 4 feet. Each wall is built on a compacted base with rock backfill to ensure longevity, backed by our 50-year durability guarantee for properly maintained installations.
Paver Patios
Our paver patio installations combine aesthetic appeal with structural integrity. We use multi-layered gravel and sand bases with edge restraints to prevent shifting. Custom patterns and material selections create unique outdoor living spaces that withstand Iowa's weather conditions while maintaining their visual appeal through proper sealing and joint sand application.
Outdoor Kitchens
We design and build custom outdoor kitchens featuring premium built-in grills, pizza ovens, and refrigeration units. Our installations integrate weather-resistant materials and thoughtful layouts for optimal workflow. Each kitchen includes proper ventilation planning and durable countertops, creating functional culinary spaces that extend indoor living areas into the outdoors.
Fire Features
Our fire feature installations include custom fire pits, outdoor fireplaces, and poolside fire bowls. We use heat-resistant materials with proper clearance specifications to ensure safety. Designs incorporate seating arrangements and ambient lighting integration, creating focal points that enhance outdoor entertaining spaces while providing warmth during cooler evenings.
