About
For over 25 years, I have been serving both commercial and residential properties in Eastern Iowa with my professional landscape services, and I'm proud to say that I have lived in Iowa my entire life. As a passionate landscaper, I take pleasure in enhancing people's lives and business through beautiful and well-maintained properties that they can enjoy all year round!

In addition to my love for landscaping, I am also deeply committed to the preservation of the environment. This is why I contribute a percentage of our earnings annually to organizations that aim to protect Iowa's natural habitats and wildlife.

I can't wait to connect with you and collaborate on your next landscaping project!

I was ghosted by a large landscaping company, so I contacted Michael to improve the area surrounding my garage and deck. Additionally, I asked him to lay sod for an area in my backyard that lacked grass. Michael's plant choices, such as mandevillas, barberry bushes, and northwind switch grasses, truly transformed the previously dull garage into a stunning sight. His work included removing wayward gravel and unattractive bushes from in front of the deck, replacing them with tasteful pavers, black mulch, and my preferred daylilies. The sod now looks lush and healthy after three weeks of attentive watering, following Michael's detailed instructions. I appreciated Michael's responsiveness and openness to answering questions. He also suggested numerous floral ideas and communicated his arrival and departure times every day he worked. While the job took longer and cost slightly more than I anticipated, the final result was worth every penny. I would not hesitate to contact Michael again for further landscaping services. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of landscaping work.

It has been approximately 8 days since he left, and I cannot recall his expected return date. I still have plenty of tasks to accomplish and have been anticipating his return for over a month. It would be best if he informs me promptly whether he is unable to assist me or unwilling to do so. This has been ongoing since May.

Mike was exceptional. His quote was very fair and he quickly grasped my desires. He was also incredibly easy to collaborate with.

We had scheduled an appointment to obtain a quotation, but a mere 10 minutes before the agreed upon time, I received a phone call informing me that they were running behind schedule and would be unable to make it. Given the hectic nature of the world we live in, this seemed understandable, so I waited for around a week before attempting to make new arrangements. Unfortunately, a repeat of the prior incident occurred. Once again, I received a call stating that they were too busy and would not be able to meet with me. Since then, I have not been contacted by anyone. I find it difficult to believe that they would prioritize our business if they cannot make the effort to reach out and suggest a different meeting time. Due to these events, we chose to find another company to work with.
