Iowa Landscaping: Experienced Landscaping Services Serving West Des Moines, IA 50266

Poor grading can cause water to pool near your foundation, leading to basement leaks and soil erosion. We assess the slope of your yard and use regrading techniques to create a gentle, consistent slope that directs water away from your house. This protects your home's structure and creates a healthier lawn.

For severely overgrown shrubs common in our area, we often recommend a combination of strategic pruning to rejuvenate healthy plants and complete removal for those that are diseased, damaged, or poorly placed. We can then suggest suitable native replacements that are easier to maintain and better suited for Iowa's climate.

A frequent issue is installing mulch or flower beds too high against the home's siding, creating a 'bowl' that traps water. We ensure all landscape beds are properly graded and that downspouts are extended sufficiently to channel rainwater away from the foundation, which is crucial for our local soil types.
