Earthly Possibilities Landscaping

At Earthly Possibilities Landscaping, we make it our #1 priority to provide high quality, professional landscaping services to our clients in and around West Des Moines and Des Moines, Iowa. Beautiful landscape or hardscape design can dramatically enhance the appearance of your property, as well as increase the value of your home. Are you looking to transform your entire backyard with a beautiful paver patio? Maybe you want to enhance the curb appeal of your home? Or perhaps you simply need additional assistance with your yearly spring mulching and cleanup?

If you're in the Des Moines and West Des Moines region and thinking about building a new paver patio, or revamping an existing one, there are many options to choose from in terms of materials and design. There was a time when the word "patio" meant nothing more than a square or rectangular area made of concrete, but, with paver patios, that's no longer the case. At Earthly Possibilities, it is no secret that we are partial to our local Des Moines suppliers of Unilock Backyard Patio Pavers for our paver patios.

Professionally designed and installed landscaping and hardscaping, such as paver patios or fire pits, are sure-fire ways to increase the value, livability and appeal of your property. At Earthly Possibilities we are experts at creating beautiful outdoor spaces and we are ready to transform yours. Whether you'd like to create a spectacular backyard oasis, or simply add a comfortable seating area and fire pit, we're more than happy to help. If you're not sure what you'd like, we can handle that, too.

Whether you need to retain your entire driveway, the side of your home, or a small vegetable garden, the team at Earthly Possibilities can create a retaining wall with the strength and durability to last a lifetime. Retaining walls, while having a purpose, can blend into the natural environment and compliment the surrounding structures. Retaining walls can also be used for purely aesthetic reasons. They can provide a barrier that breaks up a patio area from a yard, provide visual appeal and create a sense of area.

Just as the entrance to your house is designed to draw you in, your lawn and landscape should welcome you outside! With a little planning and creativity, your backyard can have the perfect "outdoor kitchen" to bring you and your family outside. Whether you prefer casual cookouts or, who knows, maybe a black tie affair (you never know, right?), any space can be transformed in to the perfect outdoor kitchen. Consider how you want to use your property. Make a 5-year wish-list. If you can see yourself installing a pool, keep that in mind when planning your paver patio or kitchen space.

Whether they are made of natural stone, classic brick, or concrete pavers - walkways in your yard should be easy to travel. After all, it's all about the journey more than the destination. Keep in mind flagstone and pavers are more solid and safer to walk on than steppers or gravel. Pavers are a great choice for a walkway and clearing snow and ice is not a challenge. Our landscape designers at Earthly Possibilities can help you add beauty, functionality and curb appeal to your homes front or backyard landscape.

A residential landscape in Des Moines is usually meant to last 15 to 20 years, according to industry standards. After that, plants often begin to outgrow their placement and/or lose vigor. Perhaps an overhaul is due. Are you driven crazy by constantly pruning overgrown shrubs? Do you need to spray your plants to prevent pests and disease? The maintenance headaches are often the result of a poorly-planned or overgrown landscape. Earthly Possibilities installations are designed to work in harmony with your style and your home's architectural features.

A pergola is an overhead structure made out of wood, vinyl or other materials to make the outdoors more inviting, to extend outdoor spaces or create a shady retreat. With the amount of direct sunlight we get in the Des Moines area, they are a visually stunning and functional addition to your patio. Pergolas add grace, style, comfort and architectural character to your home. We can help you create an environment that truly reflects your own personality and style. A decorative and attractive pergola provides an ideal focal point for your special outdoor entertaining area and a great place to relax under.

Even the most beautiful plantings and landscapes cannot flourish without proper maintenance. With the harsh weather and seasonal changes we experience in the Des Moines region, our landscapes require that extra special touch and care. In fact, a quality landscape design and installation becomes worthless when it is not maintained. Among other things, landscape maintenance takes time. We know you could use a little extra time in your life. Let us show you how easy life can be when you use our landscape maintenance service.

Landscape lighting helps create a resort-like feel that brings the home and landscape together. A well-lit landscape will highlight textures that cannot be seen in normal daylight, creating an ambiance unlike any other. Architectural features of the home like bricks or stone can be highlighted to create stunning curbside appeal. Outdoor lighting enjoyably extends the time spent outdoors. With our Des Moines, Iowa climate, we think that's extra important! Now outdoor kitchens, patios, pools, and children's play areas become entertainment venues or just relaxing places to unwind.

Earthly Possibilities specializes in creative landscaping for many of the area's most prestigious homes. We are a local landscape company located just 15 minutes south of Des Moines offering uncompromising quality and unparalleled service. Chances are your neighbors have heard of us, and we'd like to get to know you, too!
