Fire Pits
A fire pit is a traditional way to add warmth and excitement to outdoor entertaining. We can professionally install a fire pit on your property from one of our pre-built kits, or we can create a custom fire pit for you that is representative of your unique style and property.

We build custom outdoor kitchens with premium materials and are able to include any sort of amenities and features that you would like! Our design team is here to help you select the materials that offer the best color, layout, and style for your distinct property.
Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor lighting can reveal the beauty of your property at night and add an ambiance to your outdoor entertainment events in the evenings. We give careful attention to design elements and will even help you consider the best areas around your property to illuminate to help you showcase its best features.
Seating Walls
Permanent seating can add a multi-functional element to your outdoor living area. It can also upgrade the entertainment experience of both you and your guests since you will be able to say goodbye to folding up chairs after hosting events! We install our seating walls using high-quality and durable blocks.
Retaining Walls
Our retaining walls are sound structures that will balance out the look of your property while also standing as a barrier to prevent drainage issues and excess soil erosion, among its many other benefits. We build our retaining walls with heavy-duty blocks.
We're a member of the Iowa Professional Lawn Care Association!

A new walkway can enhance your property by adding convenience and accessibility while also improving your curb appeal. We can design and install a walkway for you in a pattern and design that pairs well with the overall characteristics of your property.
Driveways
Take your curb appeal to the next level by investing in a new driveway! We build driveways from high-quality materials that are both beautiful and durable, including pavers, porcelain, brick, and poured concrete, allowing you to choose the option that meets your aesthetic perfectly!
Pergolas
We can install the pergola of your dreams using a custom design or kit build, and you can choose which best suits your preferences. Then, our team will work with you to determine the best place to put it, whether over a patio, garden, or any other area. You can even take your pergola to the next level by adding fabric shades for additional privacy and protection from the sun, then outdoor lighting to bring it to life even after the sun goes down!
Outdoor Fireplaces
If a fireplace is more suitable for your outdoor space than a pit, we're happy to install one for you! Our team of professionals also has experience in building custom fireplaces, or we can install one on your property from your choice of one of our pre-made fireplace kits.
Our fire features are available in natural gas, propane, and wood-burning options!

Outdoor steps are a great way to add dimensional and aesthetic appeal to your property. Our team can create your outdoor steps out of several durable material options, such as flagstone, pavers, stone, and more. Each of these materials will create beautiful steps that have exceptional durability.
Water Features
Water features offer a versatile way to include the peaceful, calming effects of water in your outdoor area. We build water features both large and small so they can fit nearly any landscape. We use natural materials like basalt and stone boulders for these custom builds.
Rock Installation
Our rock ground coverings will enhance the beauty of your landscape beds while also improving the health of your plants. When you take advantage of this service, we will follow best practices while installing rocks in your landscape beds to ensure they look great and provide their intended benefits. Some popular rock types we offer include river rock, trap rock, and buckskin.
Mulch Installation
Mulch is a ground covering that can protect the health of your plants by discouraging soil erosion and keeping your soil protected against harsh weather conditions. Any time a ground covering is present, you can count on the longevity of plants improving. Our team installs mulch by hand, ensuring even coverage across your landscape beds. We offer a variety of different options, so your plants will be protected in style! You can choose from the following:

A new softscape project can set you on the trajectory of improving your property! Flowers are some of the best additions you can add to your landscape in order to promote beautiful and peaceful surroundings. We install plantings of all kinds, but we can also renovate your existing landscape with a new supply of flowers. Some of the most popular flowers and plants that we install include hydrangeas, boxwoods, and reed grasses, but we're happy to install other plants that you enjoy.
