Landscaping recommendations CR / Marion

Anyone got a recommendation for a good landscaper type around Linn Co? The pavers around the edges of our patio are loosening because the edging restraints are coming up. Just looking for someone who knows what they are doing to come in and bring the patio back to good. Thanks in advance.

Ive used Country Landscapes in North Liberty. They’re also advertisers here and I’ve acknowledged that when I’ve used them.

I'm a little biased, but I recommend Peck's landscaping.

Country Landscapes - Lots of Iowa State grads and advertise here. Believe Williams uses them for his place.

I should add, I purchased all 20 of our trees from Hugh’s Nursery & Landscaping. They planted them also. Absolutely top notch and big Cyclone supporters.

I had the same issue with my patio last year the pavers started shifting after a few winters. I ended up hiring a small local landscaping crew instead of a big company, and that made a big difference. They pulled up the edge pavers, reset the base properly, and replaced the plastic edging with metal restraints, which hold up much better over time.
When you look for someone, ask if they compact the base and use polymeric sand that’s key to keeping things tight and stable.
If you’re looking for some ideas on design or materials for patios and edging, https://wickerpark.ca/ has some solid examples that helped me decide on a better layout before hiring anyone.
