About

The sooner we are involved in the construction process, the better. By having us involved early on, we are able to avoid issues that could arise if we were not to be involved until later. These items include foundation backfill compaction near future retaining wall and patio areas, site drainage, grading and future tree locations. This also allows a larger time frame for us to help you realize your future outdoor living and landscape objectives and complete the design process in most cases, before your home is even finished.

The cost of landscaping is difficult to generalize without site-specific information and the understanding of a project’s objectives. We typically find that most clients projects fall within 10-15% of the cost of their home. However, often times the projects are above or below that average based on the clients objectives and specific site conditions.

Yes, we offer free estimates. However, in order for us to accurately estimate your project, we require that a scaled plan be drafted to estimate from. This also allows our clients to have an exact understanding of the scope of work to be completed. All landscape plans remain in our possession until the final proposal is accepted and the scheduling deposit is made.

Absolutely. We work with our clients on a regular basis to develop a master landscape plan that is designed to be completed in anywhere from 2-5 stages while maintaining our clients’ initial budget and a cohesive design throughout.

Upon the initial meeting at your home, we will have a general time frame on when we can get started on your project. A more precise date will be confirmed upon acceptance of our proposal and plans. We ask that you please realize this date can be shifted due to weather conditions, project add-ons and/or changes and other unforeseen items. Without project objectives and site specific requirements at hand, the length of a project can vary greatly from one day to 4 months.

We typically travel within an hour radius of Rock Valley, Iowa. A few cities where we have completed landscaping and hardscape projects in include Hull, Sheldon, Rock Rapids, Sioux Center, Orange City, Le Mars, Spirit Lake, Iowa and Sioux Falls, South Dakota. We definitely welcome project inquiries from cities further than our typical hour radius.

As with landscaping, pools are difficult to generalize without site-specific information and direct objectives. As a gerneral guideline, a backyard pool environment will start in the $150,000 – $175,000 range, and can reach upwards of $300,000+, depending on additional amenities, features and sitework.

Generally, pool projects take 8-10 weeks minimum from start to finish.

We hold our plans closely because of the time, experience and professional approach we take to cultivating your plans. For these reasons, we retain our plans until the project contract is signed and the deposit is made to schedule your project.
