We handle residential landscaping from start to finish. That includes mulch and rock installation, planting and trimming, retaining walls, French drains, underground downspout drainage, brick borders, and complete yard renovations. Most customers call because they're tired of how things look or they've got a drainage problem. We meet you on-site, talk through what makes sense, and typically have a written quote back to you within 24 hours.

It depends on the scope. Simple mulch installation might run a few hundred dollars. Larger projects like retaining walls or complete renovations can range from $2,000 to $10,000 or more depending on size and materials. We're not the cheapest option, but we're far from the most expensive. Most customers tell us our prices are fair for the quality and the fact we actually show up and finish the job right.

Yes, especially when customers aren't sure what would work best. I walk the property with you, discuss your goals and budget, then create a rough sketch showing the plan. It's not a fancy professional design, but it gives you a clear picture of what we're thinking. If you already know what you want, we can work from your ideas too.

Most projects are completed within 2-3 weeks of accepting the estimate. Smaller jobs like mulch installation might take a day or two. Complete renovations with multiple elements could take several days to a week depending on weather and complexity. We try to give you realistic timing upfront.

Absolutely. We do a lot of renovation work. Maybe your beds need fresh edging and mulch, or you've got overgrown shrubs that need serious trimming. Sometimes it's steppers that have shifted or old borders needing replacement. We assess what you've got and give you options without tearing everything out.

Yes, and drainage is a bigger part of our business than most realize. We install French drains, dry creek beds, and underground downspout extensions using proper PVC pipe and methods that last. Often we're solving drainage issues while improving the yard's appearance at the same time. Davenport's clay soil and proximity to the Mississippi make drainage especially important here.

For borders, we mainly use brick or natural stone depending on your preference and budget. For bed edging, we use metal landscape edging or hand-cut edges depending on what works best. We also install landscape fabric under rock beds to control weeds long-term.

You'll need to be there for the initial estimate so we can walk the property together. Once work starts, you don't need to be home unless you want to. Our crew shows up, gets the work done, and cleans up. We send text confirmations before arriving so you know when to expect us.

Definitely. Many Davenport customers start with a landscaping project then sign up for recurring maintenance. We offer garden bed service every 8 weeks from April through October—pulling weeds, touching up shrubs, refreshing mulch, and keeping everything sharp. Usually runs $140-200 per visit depending on property size since we're staying on top of it regularly instead of letting things get out of hand.

Spring and early summer are busiest, but we work from early spring through late fall. Planting is best in spring or fall when temperatures are milder. Hardscaping like walls and drainage can happen anytime the ground isn't frozen. Reaching out in late winter or early spring helps get you scheduled before things get crazy busy.

Davenport's clay-heavy soil and location right on the Mississippi create unique challenges. Drainage is critical here because of how water moves through clay soil and the amount of spring rainfall we get. Freeze-thaw cycles can shift hardscaping and damage plants if they're not installed correctly. We've been working in Davenport and the Quad Cities since 2014, so we know what holds up and what doesn't in Iowa conditions.

Yes, we've worked on properties throughout Davenport including areas near the riverfront where drainage and soil conditions can be especially challenging. We understand how water movement and clay soil affect landscaping decisions in these areas and design installations accordingly.
