Country Landscapes & Nursery - Ames

I actually do my own landscaping, and I have never had any issues with getting materials from Country Landscapes for the jobs. The plants I have bought from them have always been in good shape. I also find it to be a convenient place to get materials from mulch to gravel. They will even deliver if you need it. The people are friendly as well, but I assume that is due to them liking their jobs so much.

Promises not kept on estimate and plan installation. Grading was done so water flowed toward the house or pooled. They did not grade topsoil so grass seed would grow in all areas. Grass seed was sprinkled in planting beds so have to weed out grass now. The Lacrosse "easy care" grass seed is not and some of it looks like crab grass. The retaining walls have soil erosion through the large gaps. The water feature was not installed per the plan so is too close to the house. I had to argue and fight to get partial fixes. They are not worth the money or the stress! Their plants and trees are nice if you do it yourself. Otherwise don't bother with any other services.

Quality plants and products coupled with helpful, friendly, knowledgeable staff, what more could I ask for? They can tell me about the plant's habits and help me determine if it would be a good fit for my space. I have always felt valued there, never rushed. I don't live in Ames, but I drive there to get most of my plants/shrubs/trees, etc.

So impressed with the immense knowledge of the staff at Country Landscapes. They helped me select deer-resistant perrinials that look absolutely wonderful in front of my house. I will definitely continue to purchase plants at Country Landscapes, and I appreciate the way that the staff helps with information about proper planting and pruning techniques--even when I am planting on my own.

The variety and quality of plants and garden accessories at Country Landscapes are excellent. It is very enjoyable just to walk around their facility. The staff is very friendly and helpful, too. I love gathering plants in the little red wagons.
