  Bill Friend & crew installed Designer Palm Trees for us along with landscaping rock! Very punctual and neat! We are very pleased with their workmanship! We will definitely give them a call should we need any additional work done!

  We had Friend Landscaping do an overhaul on our existing landscaping when we moved into our house. We had great service and we continue to recommend Friend Landscaping to our friends & family.

  This is the 2nd time we have used Friend Landscaping. At our previous home they did a composite deck and landscaping. Bill is helpful, professional — comes when he says he will and does top notch work. We recently moved into new a construction home. Bill did hardscaping last fall, completed plants and trees this spring. He works with the budget you have and again was prompt, reliable and so easy to work with. His recommendations for low maintenance, colorful plants are great. We are thrilled with the finished product. Highly recommend.

  Bill is creative in his landscaping design including taking time to walk me through the design and offered suggestions on plants. His provides estimates promptly and when an unexpected drainage issue occurred he contacted me immediately with possible options. This allowed the work to continue on time. Started and finished as promised. My landscaping is beautiful - even my neighbors took notice complimenting me on the view and design!

  We moved into our new construction home in 2007. On June 30, 2018 there was torrential rain in the Des Moines metro, causing a lot of local flooding and flooded basements. This was the first of 3 occasions that summer when a small amount water worked its way up through a concrete seam in our basement floor. We contacted several local wet basement outfits to see what could be done to correct the problem. The general consensus from the majority of them was that we had more of a landscaping problem than a wet basement problem. One outfit even went as far as to say, "Take care of your landscaping and if that doesn't correct the problem, than call me". After a lot of research into Des Moines area landscapers, we chose Friend Landscaping for this project. They built up the grade around our house, installed underground gutters, built two small retaining walls and installed a French drain across the back of the house; all to force rain water away from the foundation of the house. In addition, they replaced all of the old landscaping with a clean, attractive layout and long-lasting materials. We've had several heavy downpours since the work was done in September 2018 and it is clear that the landscaping is working as designed and the water issue in our basement has not reoccurred. We highly recommend Friend Landscaping for anyone who has drainage issues around their house and would definitely hire him for future jobs. Bill kept us informed of the project time-line; and he and his crew always kept the jobsite clean and safe while the work was in progress.
