We specialize in keeping water away from your home, and install paver patios and window wells after we correct the grade. We carefully select our employees--we can teach them landscaping, but we can't teach them character--that is the most important asset our employees possess. We are insured through Grinnell Mutual Insurance Company for 1,000,000, and have XCU coverage as well (special grader's and excavator's insurance). We don't provide free estimates, we provide free PROMISES. We PROMISE to return your phone calls and emails in a timely manner. We PROMISE to do your job for the contracted price, and if an unknown issue arises, we PROMISE to make you aware of it immediately. We also PROMISE to act with integrity and honesty. We PROMISE to do the job correctly. We PROMISE to leave the jobsite clean when we are done. We PROMISE to communicate with our clients as needed. We PROMISE to provide our customers with VALUE. We PROMISE your experience with us will be pleasant. WE really don't sell landscaping, grading, or the other things that we actually do.

We're here to serve you, whatever your needs may be. Our office is located in Urbandale, a suburb of Des Moines, Iowa, but our team serves the entire state of Iowa. Our services range from a complete exterior remodel of your home, including new windows, siding, roofing, stone and gutters, to residing just the one side of your house that needs it. When we say we're here to serve you, we mean it. Additional Service Areas: Iowa - Ask for details. James Hardie Fiber Cement Siding Installer.

"Nate and his crew were awesome. They had some of the summer's worst heat, rain, etc and they still appeared each and everyday on time and ready to work. We've had so many people tell us how fantastic the house looks. They fixed problems that we didn't even realize were problems (like a hornets nest under an overhang). We would definitely hire them again, and in fact are already planning what we would like to have done next. Never did they ask for payment up front, not even a deposit. That's just not heard of these days. The office staff, specifically Liz, was there to walk us through all the different financing options available, and was a true pleasure to work with. We went with a higher end product versus vinyl siding, we cannot get over the difference it has made in our gas and electric bill as well as how quiet our home is now. Again, we would highly recommend them."

Stone and Gravel questions, answered by experts

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

Always work with licensed and certified masons in your area when installing a stone wall or even a stone veneer. Just like all home designers, they should provide an impressive portfolio and offer a free estimate for the project. Pick the pro who fits your budget and schedule and, most importantly, helps you realize your landscape vision.

The best color to paint a brick fireplace comes down to personal taste. However, neutral colors—like white or gray—will open the space and create a bright modern look, making them popular options. However, choosing a bold color can turn your fireplace into a feature piece that will be the talk of all family gatherings. 

A fireplace hearth is a fireproof flooring material that extends out from the base of the fireplace and into the room. Hearths can be made of brick, ceramic, marble, limestone, and more. A hearth serves the purpose of decreasing the fire risk in the area directly around the fireplace. If flying embers hit carpet or wood, they’ll spark and create a fire. But if they hit something like tile or granite, they’ll simply go out.

Yes, you can cut patio stones with a circular saw. Similar to using an electric grinder, you will need to use a diamond blade as this is the most effective blade for cutting a material like stone. The stone must be wet when using a circular saw to ensure the cut is smooth.
