So sad. I really wanted to do business with them. In 2019, I asked for a design and quote for a job first thing the following spring. I never got it after having met with the designer and repeatedly following up. Again, I called in Spring of 2020 and met with the designer again and was promised a plan within two weeks. Weeks rolled into months and I never got a plan. I spent my money elsewhere. Despite being ready to forgive the first mistake and keep moving along.

Great place to shop or work! I love the people I work with and the environment. No day is the same and we always strive to do better. I love watching the nursery and greenhouse grow each year as well. The company invests in their employees and want you to be around for the long haul!

Autumn Dodd and the staff at Wapsie Pines designed and planted a beautiful array of native Iowa plants and wildflowers for us last year. The service was first class and the work was performed on time and without a hitch. A few of the plantings did not survive the winter and we were contacted in early spring to make sure that new replacement plants were substituted under the warranty. Great job!!
