Hall & Martin Landscape Services - Clive's Professional Landscapers

We frequently encounter poor lawn grading and compacted soil in Clive due to Iowa's clay-heavy soil and seasonal weather patterns. Our approach begins with a thorough site assessment to identify drainage problems and soil conditions. For grading issues, we carefully reshape the land to ensure proper water flow away from foundations. For soil compaction, we use specialized equipment to aerate and amend the soil with organic matter, improving drainage and root health. This foundational work is crucial before any planting or hardscaping to ensure your landscape remains healthy and functional for years.

Our design process starts with a detailed consultation at your Clive home to understand your lifestyle, preferences, and how you want to use your outdoor space. We assess sun exposure, soil conditions, and existing features. Using this information, we create custom designs that may include patios, walkways, planting beds, irrigation systems, and functional elements like retaining walls. We present these designs with material samples and realistic timelines. With over 70 years of combined experience, we focus on creating cohesive landscapes that are both beautiful and practical for Iowa living.

Yes, we offer comprehensive maintenance services to protect your investment. This includes shrub care (planting, pruning, disease/insect management), tree pruning and trimming, irrigation system checks, and seasonal cleanups. For ash trees, we provide Emerald Ash Borer treatment options. Our maintenance plans are tailored to your specific landscape and can be scheduled regularly to keep your outdoor space looking its best year-round. Many Clive clients appreciate having the same team handle both installation and maintenance for consistent care.
