Capital Landscaping
Landscape Architects & Contractors in Ames.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 November 2017
“I had a very good experience with Capital Landscaping. I needed a retaining wall built along my driveway. Phil quoted what I thought was an honest price and his crew got the job done in a timely manner. All my neighbors have had nothing but good comments. Thanks Phil, Cole, Jim, Natalie, and all others involved! I plan to have some more work done in the future and will recommend you anytime I get a chance. Thank you!”

“`Doug Legary did an outstanding job designing, building and installing our pergola, patio walls, patio, deck and landscape lighting. He started the job when he said he would and finished it on time. During the buid the worksite was cleaned up each night, his employees were friendly and the construction quality was outstanding. If you have landscaping, design and building work that needs to be done you will find that Doug delivers on what he promises and he delivers at the price you agreed upon. I recommend him to you without any hesitation”

“They have done a wonderful job (so far) on our landscaping. Our front yard flower beds are beautiful. They have also planted some beautiful evergreens in our back yard in the Fall of 2013 which they replaced under their warranty due to the effects of our recent harsh winter. They have been a pleasure to work with!”

“Kevin and Carole have done my spring/fall cleanups for several years now, and it’s always perfect. They also help me move/split/trim whatever is needed and make solid suggestions for changes and new plantings. I can’t say enough great stuff about them!”
Distinctive Landscapes
Landscape Architects & Contractors in Ames.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 November 2020
“Distinctive Landscapes provided excellent professional service completing a patio with a water tiling project for my home. The earth tone cement stone patio looks superb with the color of the home. The stone is secured with a frame perimeter and cement sealant between the block-shaped tiles. The underground tiling appears well designed providing gravitational water flow away from the back of the home to the sloped sides of the property. A surface drain was added to capture water to prevent water pooling, which could eventually enter the lower level of the home during heavy rainfall conditions. The project was thoughtfully planned by Ryan Kinart and executed by Justin the foreman and his crew. The price estimate was competitive and accurate for payment. I would highly recommend Distinctive Landscapes for landscaping, patio, and drainage projects.”
Abundant Design, LLC
Landscape Architects & Contractors in Ames.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 January 2015
“My wife had been wanting a composting system for our home for some time, but none of the commercially available units accomplished quite what she was looking for: something ecologically friendly, built locally, expandable, which also made it easy to manage and transfer compost. Jeff came over and not only helped us custom-build a 'triple bin, cedar composting system', but also gave us some great tips on ornamental gardening and drainage for our back yard. If there was 6th star, I would give it to Jeff and Abundant Design!”

“Excellent customer service! They went out of their way to help me repurpose an existing pond at my home. Although the project never came to fruition, I was very impressed with their knowledge and the extra steps they went out of their way to help me out. They will be my choice for any further work.”
