Landscape Beds Renovation | Larkin Landscape & Design

Landscape beds evolve over time, and what once looked perfect might now feel overgrown, outdated, or simply not fitting your current style.

Maybe you've moved into a home with established beds that need a complete refresh, or perhaps your existing plantings have outgrown their space.

Starting fresh with landscape bed renovation gives you the opportunity to create exactly the look you want with plants that suit your maintenance preferences and Iowa's growing conditions.

Complete tear out and replacement ensures you're working with healthy soil and proper spacing for long-term success.

New landscape beds can completely transform your property's appearance and curb appeal.

Landscape beds play a big role in your property’s first impression. Over time, plants grow beyond their intended size, mulch breaks down, and soil loses nutrients. A renovation gives your outdoor space a chance to start fresh — with plants, textures, and colors that complement your home’s architecture and natural surroundings.

Old or overgrown beds can also lead to poor drainage and uneven growth. By rebuilding from the ground up, we restore balance, improve plant health, and enhance visual harmony. Updated beds provide year-round beauty with plant varieties that bloom and change seasonally, keeping your yard attractive through Iowa’s spring, summer, and fall.
