A great landscape is more than just a seasonal project; it’s a permanent investment in your home. As a hardscape contractor in Des Moines, we believe that the quiet months of the year are the best time for Des Moines homeowners to focus on the “bones” of their property. By starting the conversation now, we ensure that your retaining walls, patios, and drainage systems are built with the precision and care that a 30-year legacy of local expertise demands.
Our roots in Central Iowa run deep. Our founder spent 20 years mastering the art of stonework and landscaping before launching this company in 2015. Now celebrating 10 years of successful operation, we combine decades of hands-on skill with the stability of a well-established family business.
Before you think about flowers, you have to think about structure. Hardscaping—the permanent stone and concrete elements of your yard—provides the layout and durability your property needs to survive the Midwest seasons.
Pro Tip from the Arbor Rock Team: With 30 years of experience as a hardscape contractor in Des Moines, we’ve seen how Iowa’s freeze-thaw cycles can shift even the strongest soil. If you notice water pooling near your foundation during the winter thaw or spring rains, it’s a signal that your property’s grading or hardscape needs a professional drainage assessment.
One of the most common issues for homeowners in Waukee, Johnston, and the surrounding areas is poor drainage. Every spring, the thaw brings a mess that can lead to basement leaks and ruined lawns.
By focusing on Sod and Grading early in the season, we ensure your land slopes correctly away from your home. Our team uses a combination of strategic rock beds, professional mulch installation, and concrete drains to keep your yard functional and dry even during our rainiest months.
Arbor Rock & Wall Landscaping is a true family endeavor. After two decades of honing his craft in the industry, our founder took the leap to start his own business in 2015. Now celebrating 10 years of operation, we have established a home base in Des Moines built on the values of hard work and integrity.
Whether we are installing a high-traffic concrete driveway or a tranquil water feature, we treat every project as if it were our own backyard. We aren’t just your contractors; we are your neighbors, and we take pride in building legacies that last for generations.
