April, Spencer and James did an excellent job on my back yard project. It turned out better than my vision. I couldn't be happier. Thank you so much!

Iowa Outdoor Products staff were incredibly helpful when I was looking for a tree for a couple to plant for their wedding! The grounds were BEAUTIFUL, and they have a cat roaming the grounds as well! 5 stars!

I am a neighbor of a customer of yours in Urbandale. Please train your staff on when cutting lime stone and the wind is blowing to try and keep the lime stone dust from going onto vehicles and personal property. You may think its no big deal, but it is. I will never use you or recommend your services. Very unprofessional!

I purchased all the supplies (stone, plants, pond liner, pump, bio-falls and skimmer) from IOP and built the pond / waterfall with a friend. Very expensive supplies from IOP and most things didn't last long, but they have nice items to choose from.
