Before ➡️ During ➡️ After

A great example of how thoughtful landscape design can turn a problem area into something both beautiful and functional.

This Waukee project focused on managing stormwater, addressing erosion, and creating a more natural, low-maintenance landscape. By incorporating natural stone, improved drainage, and plantings suited to the site, we're creating a landscape that works with the property, not against it.

Start with one tree. 🍎

October is a great time to add something productive to your landscape.

For a limited time, we're offering fruit trees planted by the Abundant Design team starting at $75 — with the option to turn your new tree into a simple fruit tree guild.

Fruit Trees + Planting
Small trees — $75 planted
Large trees — $200 planted & staked

Current varieties include Fuji, Gala, Cortland, Ruby Rush, Macoun and more, while available.

Want to do more than just plant a tree?

Add a 6-plant guild for $149 or a 10-plant guild for $249. We'll surround your fruit tree with a mix of useful companion plants like chives, bee balm, oregano, comfrey and strawberries.

The idea is simple: instead of planting a fruit tree by itself, create a small community of plants around it that provides food, supports pollinators, covers the ground and helps build a more diverse landscape.

The photos here are examples of established fruit tree guilds — including peach with strawberries and cherry growing among pollinator plants.
Start with one tree and build from there.

Quantities and varieties are limited to available fall inventory. Send us a message or contact Abundant Design to reserve yours.

Even in September, native plants are still hard at work. These late blooms are lifelines for pollinators like migrating monarchs. Here's a little beauty from our clients' spaces, just a reminder that the season's still giving.

What if our landscapes could do more?

Grow food. Manage stormwater. Support pollinators. Create habitat. Bring people together. And become a place to learn.

That idea is at the heart of the Drake University Food Forest and Sprout Garden.

We worked alongside Drake and its community to help create a landscape designed to become more useful, productive and resilient over time.

THIS USED TO BE GRASS.

Now it's a food forest.
Drake University × Abundant Design

What can an underused piece of lawn become?

At Drake University, it became a food forest, living classroom, stormwater system, pollinator habitat and gathering space.

The Sprout Garden & Food Forest is a great example of what can happen when we ask our landscapes to do more.

One Season Later

One of our favorite parts of this work is coming back to a landscape after it’s had some time to grow.

We recently revisited this native planting one season after installation. More than 400 native plants went into this space, creating a diverse mix of flowering perennials, grasses and sedges designed to fill in over time and become a resilient, established landscape.

But installation is really just the beginning.

The first few seasons are important for native landscapes, so we like to stay involved when we can. On this visit, we walked the site, looked at what was thriving and where a little extra attention was needed, and provided some coaching on management as the planting continues to establish.

Native landscapes change a lot from year to year. Knowing what’s a w**d and what’s simply a young native finding its place can make a big difference. Our goal isn’t just to install a landscape and walk away. We want to help our clients understand it and feel confident caring for it.

Turning a Water Problem Into a Landscape Feature

Water has to go somewhere. The goal here was to make where it goes part of the landscape.

On this project, we buried the downspouts and tied them into a dry stream designed to catch and direct runoff through the property. Instead of treating drainage as something to hide, we made it a visible part of the design and built the planting plan around it.

Our crew is bringing it all together with a mix of native and adapted trees, shrubs, grasses and perennials that will fill in over time and give the property more color, texture and habitat.

It’s a good example of the kind of work we love doing at Abundant Design: creative landscape design, native ecology and practical solutions working together.

Have a wet spot, drainage issue or challenging area on your property? Sometimes the problem is the best place to start.

A meaningful space is beginning to take shape at the Hindu Temple & Cultural Center of Iowa.

Our team recently installed the first phase of landscaping around the new outdoor plaza using native and resilient plantings to soften the space, support pollinators, manage stormwater, and create a welcoming setting for festivals and community gatherings.

The plants are young now, but as they establish and fill in, this plaza will become an increasingly beautiful connection between Hindu cultural traditions and Iowa’s native landscape.

We’re grateful to help bring this special vision to life and look forward to watching it grow.

A fun garden enhancement project that turned an existing orchard into a more productive, protected and usable space.

We expanded the orchard with additional fruit trees and built out food guilds around them — combining fruit with berries, herbs, perennial edibles and pollinator-friendly plants that work together to support soil health, beneficial insects and the overall resilience of the garden.

We also enclosed the garden with deer fencing and designed wide access points and clean travel lanes so it’s easy to get in and out, move equipment through the space, and mow around it.

A garden designed to produce food, work with nature, and still be easy to live with.

There's something satisfying about watching a landscape do exactly what it was designed to do.

This project started with a drainage problem—water collecting around the foundation after heavy rains. Rather than simply moving the water somewhere else, we reshaped the grade, built a dry stream, and created a native rain garden that slows, filters, and infiltrates stormwater before it can become a problem. That was the core intent behind the design concept.

In this video, Noah walks through the project and explains why each feature is there while the system is actively working during a rain event.
