Country Landscapes & Nursery - Ames

First off, I heard a few good things about this company prior to contacting them. The sales person that came out in the fall was professional and very courteous. We had an agreement last year that he would put our proposal on the back burner until this winter (Jan) so he could provide a good plan at no costs to us, otherwise, if we wanted it back then it would cost money. We decided to wait, as our landscaping did not need to be done until the spring of this year. We have been checking back in with this sales person since, and now he is unfamiliar with what we want, needs to come back out, and now wants to charge a premium price to come out and give us what he promised earlier for free. We are serious people that will need to have the landscaping done, as we are putting in a pool. We don’t want to be locked into a company until we know the design and price are right. Which is why we didn’t want to put any money down previous, and it was agreed to by both parties. Now that we have wasted a good chunk of time on this one company, we will need to reach out to another landscaper to get a bid and design.nnThat said, I do hear the company does good work, I would just be cautious on what they tell you at any given time. We have agreed to go our separate ways, as I would not want to work with someone that does not stand behind their word and promises. I’m glad we found this out about the company prior to having them do our job. Please be aware that you may not get everything as promised when dealing with this company. And hopefully this was an isolated incident that will never happen again. Good luck!!!

I requested a unique and creative patio design this spring and Zach and his team delivered above and beyond my expectations. Working through the design process was a fun experience and it’s clear this team loves what they do and it shows in the excellent quality of their work and their attention to detail. Several of my friends and neighbors mentioned to me how impressed they were with the quality of the workmanship, the professionalism of the team as well as the clean up and care of the existing lawn area. I have enjoyed my patio immensely this summer and will continue to for years to come. Thank you Zach and the Country Landscapes team!

Had a great selections of plants to select from for our latest landscaping project. My wife wasn't to happy with the knowledge and courtesy of the employee that helped her but we managed to have enough knowledge to know what we want. The plants look great for our project! Definitely come check out their selection.nEdit: For our landscape project we ventured back and the employee that helped us this time was extremely knowledgeable and was able to help us out a lot! Just goes to show that not all employees are the same. They may represent the business but not all of them are there just for the paycheck.

Would like to thank Kent R. In the nursery for his great service and care when we purchased 13 trees from Country Landscapes. We traveled 2 hours to buy these trees. Kate was very helpful and knowledgeable in our selection of the trees. Kent took the time to wrap each tree in burlap so the trees wouldn’t get stressed on the ride home. Happy to report all the trees are thriving. Thanks and we’ll be back to shop for all our landscaping materials.

We purchased a tree on Saturday, June 13. Your employee, Emily, was very nice and patient. It was busy and she made sure that all of our questions were answered. She gave us excellent advice on planting and also helped load the very heavy tree into our truck. We have purchased many items from Country Landscapes over the years and have always been pleased with the customer service and your knowledgeable staff.nThanks,nBruce & Joelle Vertanen
