The skid loader is about ready to become a boat again. 😂🚤

We have been absolutely drenched at Lake Panorama lately. Our crews are working whenever Mother Nature gives us a chance, doing everything we can to keep projects moving and stay on track.

A huge thank you to all of our customers for being patient and understanding with the weather delays. We appreciate it more than you know!

It can stop raining anytime now! 🌧️

How landscaping is going this year with all this rain!

A complete lakeside transformation built for more space, better access, and minimal maintenance!

We kept the tall existing retaining walls, removed all the landscape beds, and replaced them with clean, open lawn. Along the water, we installed an entirely new boulder shoreline with steps to the dock and a separate set of steps for easy kayak access.

The new patio features County Materials Grand Discover pavers, supported by a Rosetta Kodah retaining wall above the shoreline, with a matching Kodah fire pit. We also built a new wall to tie everything into the existing landscape and reset all the original steps.

A major transformation that makes this lakefront far more functional and enjoyable!

Locally owned. Lake trusted.

New practice range tees at Lake Panorama National. ⛳️

We were proud to be a part of this project and help bring a great new practice area to the course. The finished space provides a clean, professional environment for golfers to work on their game, take lessons, and spend time on the range.

Projects like this are always rewarding to be a part of, and we think it turned out fantastic. 🏌️‍♂️

A backyard should be more than something you look at. It should be something you experience.

This natural boulder waterfall adds the sights and sounds of moving water right off the patio, creating a peaceful space to relax and unwind. 💧🪨

Rain kept us off some jobsites last week, so we put the downtime to good use.

We gave the Mary J. Barnett Memorial Library in Guthrie Center a little facelift ahead of RAGBRAI. New edging, fresh mulch, and new plantings helped bring the landscape back to life and give the property a clean, welcoming look.

We’re proud to help get our hometown looking its best for the thousands of riders and visitors coming through town. 🚴🌿
