Services
Some of you have never done a project in partnership with Capital Landscaping, so we want to walk you through what to expect. Early spring is the best time to get in touch with one of our landscape designers or architects, depending on the type of project you're pursuing. This timeframe allows plenty of time to design your space or build, and schedule when it will be done.
Capital Landscaping can handle every aspect of your outdoor project. We have experience in a variety of construction services such as driveways, decks, pergolas, and drainage to make your outdoor living space complete. And these areas are only the beginning - if you can dream it, we can do it! For smaller projects involving lumber like fences, pergolas, and gazebos, we use cedar, pressure-treated lumber, or vinyl.
Fire pits and fireplaces are the perfect addition to your backyard patio. If you want one, Capital Landscaping is the place to call as the Des Moines metro's trusted fire pit contractor. We can build in a variety of sizes, styles, and colors - the possibilities are endless! Backyard fire pits are a great way to entertain your family and guests in the beautiful summer months.
You already turn to Capital Landscaping for landscape design and lawn maintenance, but did you know we service and repair irrigation systems, as well? Whether you own a home or business in the metro, we can help. For the majority of the year, you don't need to worry about irrigation system maintenance.
We offer custom lawn service packages to Des Moines and the surrounding metro area including West Des Moines, Altoona, Johnston, Urbandale, and Waukee. See the options below to start building your package today! Mowing your yard a couple times a week can be time consuming - and not to mention, exhausting!

Locally owned and operated, these folks are GREAT! They can do anything to transform your yard into whatever you want. I love the service I get on lawn treatments and mowing. Professional, on time and friendly. Highly recommended.

We called for some landscaping quotes-was told the owner Phil would call us back. He never did, so I called again. He said he would come out. Never showed, then called and rescheduled-never showed or called us back. We had work done by CL several years ago and they did a great job-which is why we called again. We will not be using their services any longer

They are nice and professional, however, punctuality is lacking. We received a bid, accepted the bid and were put on a list. Utilities were located and flagged. I was asked to keep my yard below 2 inches with 50 flags to mow around for an amount of time that could not even be speculated. I did so for two weeks. When I expressed my frustration and asked if we could get an estimated timeframe. We were dropped from the list and told they don’t want work with us.

Worst customer service. If you have them do landscaping, be ready to have your neighbors mad, because they blow stuff in their yards and all over their cars!!!!!!

Scott and his team did such an amazing job! I had several small projects that were beyond my capabilities and Scott worked with me to get them all covered. From the initial bid to the final walk through, they were great to work with. I am so excited to see how everything looks when it starts blooming!

Simply amazing work! I had a retaining wall and patio put in and it was completed as scheduled, on budget, and way beyond my every expectation. These people are super friendly and customer oriented and I highly recommend Capital Landscaping!

I had a very good experience with Capital Landscaping. I needed a fairly large 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!

Huge thanks to Jerry from Capital Landscaping Handyman Services. He painted my entire living room, kitchen and stairway. The stairway was a daunting task, but he got it done! Very thorough and made sure everything was put back in place on the walls, etc. Give him a call, he can do anything!

I have been a client of Capital Landscaping for nearly ten years. They did a magnificent job designing my landscaping around the plants I enjoyed - completely with me in mind. Many neighbors have made comments on how attractive my yard is. One neighbor said I had the most beautiful yard in the neighborhood! I have never been disappointed with the service Capital Landscaping has provided. I look forward to future projects with this outstanding company.

Waited 2 weeks for an appointment, took time off work to meet with them and they didn't show up. So I called them to see why and the lady said they decided this morning it was far to drive. A phone call would have been nice as a courtesy. Not even apologetic on the phone.

Capital Landscaping is great! We used them for our mowing needs. They showed up on time, was professional in appearance, and made sure to clean up after they left. I recommend Capital Landscaping for any mowing or landscaping needs to my friends and colleagues.
