Wrapped up this weeks project here in Des Moines, these customers chose to resod the front yard which was a great choice. Really brings it all together and makes it look so much nicer.

P.S. We are currently hiring so if you have experience in our industry and are looking to make a change, text or call.

Check out this hardscape project we just finished, limestone walls, patio, and stairs.

Turned out great!

Gotta love working in the winter, a snow squall rolled through while we were working on this patio.
After this video we waited it out in the truck, thankfully the snow stopped after about 10 minutes

Here’s a video of a retaining wall we built under this customers deck. The previous railroad tie wall had failed so we came in and replaced it with a nice block wall.

Even though this is a small retaining wall it was pretty tough with no machine access, we had the excavator sitting in the yard at full reach under the deck to dig out for drainage and base.

This customer won’t have to worry for a very long time about this wall now, we’ve got geo grid running back into the bank and very good drainage to make sure there is no settlement and the wall doesn’t push out.

In the beginning of this video you’ll see a huge hydrangea bush, one of the largest ones around.

Under no circumstances were we to touch it in any way!

All we did here was install some limestone edging and replace mulch for river rock. Pretty simple and clean with the large hydrangea stealing the show.

We use a lot of the white/cream colored Iowa Buff limestone in our projects, but that is definitely not the only option. On this project we went with a edging called “Dakota Buff”

There’s tons of options and many different colored stones we can use to match your house or your taste.

Not all of our jobs are month long hardscape projects, this was a quick one where we were just replacing some rotted out railroad ties with some iowa buff planter stone.

Turned out pretty clean and should last much longer.

If this looks like something you’re interested in, give us a call or send a message.

Most people don’t realize this is the difference between a patio that lasts and a patio that turns into a mess of weeds and grass.

We run a roller compactor multiple times to vibrate polymeric sand deep into the joints. This locks the pavers together, seals out weeds, and helps prevent erosion and shifting.

Combine that with our bedding layer of 3/8” chip rock we remove the possibility of ants make mounds under the patio and in the joints.

Installation methods and materials have come a long way in the last 10 years, and when done correctly a paver patio can stay tight, clean and looking great for years to come.

Never get tired of these boulder fountains. This one was originally installed by someone else ,we just had to do a repair on it. The old pump had failed and looked like some animals had chewed through the wiring. All up and running again though and looking good

Looks like winters all done, pretty light one this year. Thankfully we were able to stay busy with a few hardscape projects we had prepped
