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!”
Abundant Design, LLC
Landscape Architects & Contractors in Des Moines.
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!”

Great American Landscape

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 August 2015
“While contacting and obtaining quotes within the Norwalk area, we were impressed by Jereyl Knerr, Owner of Great American Landscape. He contacted us in a timely manner, answered our questions and presented himself with professionalism and integrity. At no time did we feel pressured to add additional work outside the scope of our initial request. He scheduled and completed the work as planned with no issues or concerns. Upon the completion of each project, our property inside / outside was left clean and put back together as expected. I would highly suggest his services and plan on utilizing him for future projects. Thank you Jereyl for a job well done! Much Appreciated! Lorie Hendrickson”
