Custom Stone & Paver Patios Built for Beauty and Lasting Durability.
The Perfect Plants for Every Space
Hardscaping and planting belong together. The right plants soften stone edges, add seasonal color, provide privacy, and bring your outdoor space to life year-round. At Watt Hardscapes, we offer planting services that are fully integrated with our hardscape work for a complete, polished result.
We select plants suited to Iowa's climate, your soil conditions, and your maintenance preferences. Whether you want a low-maintenance native plant design or a lush garden with seasonal color throughout the year, we source quality plants and install them to thrive.

Frequently Asked
Do you offer a plant guarantee?
Yes — we guarantee all plants we install for one growing season. If something doesn't make it through its first year, we'll replace it.
Can you work with plants I already have?
Absolutely. We can work around existing trees, shrubs, and perennials, and can also transplant healthy existing plants as part of a redesign.
What's the best time of year to plant in Iowa?
Spring and fall are ideal for most perennials, shrubs, and trees. We work throughout the growing season and will advise on the best timing for your specific project.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance after planting?
We focus primarily on installation, but we partner with local maintenance providers and can connect you with reliable care options for your completed landscape.
How do I keep new plantings alive?
Proper watering in the first season is the most important factor. We provide detailed care instructions for every plant we install and are always available to answer questions
