Home Services reviews in Des Moines, Iowa

Mike and his staff does a terrific job for all your landscaping duties. Excel is a one-stop service for all your landscaping needs. Mike is extremely knowledgable of what needs to be done to your lawn, trees, etc. Not only are the crew members very professional with their duties, they will go the extra mile to get the job done. Everyone at Excel is very friendly, and they care about you as a person.

I called Excel to see if they could do some edging before my wife hosting a bridal shower. They were out the next day and did a great job. Communication and the work completed is top notch. Nicely done guys.

Issac did a fabulous job with aerating and overseding my lawn. He always has such a positive attitude!

Ryan was very informative and answered all our questions. He was very efficient with his time and did and excellent job. Very professional team at excel !

Needing a dethatch job and found Excel via a web search. First easy phone call set things in motion. It took a couple weeks due to weather, but I received an email saying the work should be completed the next day. Ryan showed up and did a great job. He walked around the small yard with me and provided background information on the process and explained what he would be doing. He also took my constant barrage of questions about the other services Excel can provide and how they may apply to our yard. He then got busy and left the lawn dethatched and the grounds nice and clean. I expect to change other services to them in the future.

Just had Excel De-thatch this week and my yard looks great! Communication with Excel via email was impressive and they provided the service on the day they said. Ryan, did a great job with my yard. Very pleased! Thank you.

Excel was easy to work with. Effective at communication. And offered quality work. They use high quality seed and products. 5 stars all the way.

This company is great. They’re responsive, thorough and honest. It’s very clear that they care about people more than money. Mike was always quick to respond and answer any questions. Ryan and Isaac came out to do the work and did great, even taking the time to explain what they were doing and why. Definitely would recommend.

Ryan came out today for a 1 hour clean up with clearing excessive weeds and clean up of lawn, I was so happy with results he created a nice clean patio area and side yard clea up, I have a great Thank you to owner Mike for sending out Ryan today. IF looking for a lawn care service look no farther then Excel lawn + landcare service they are the BEST!!!

We are very fortunate to have Issac and Ryan at Excel taking care of the lawns in our HOA again this year. They are exemplary in their professionalism, courtesy, and willingness to go above and beyond in the care of the properties. They do a wonderful job assessing the needs of the grass as the seasons progress and change. I highly recommend Issac and Ryan and Excel!

I had the pleasure of meeting Isaac from Excel when he was servicing our lawn, and he truly impressed me. He’s a professional in every sense—polite, punctual, and clearly knows what he’s doing. Isaac is a genuinely nice young man with a great work ethic and strong knowledge of his field. It’s refreshing to see someone take such pride in their work. Highly recommend him if you’re looking for quality lawn service done right!

We’ve always struggled with weeds and dead grass, so we decided to reach out to Excel Lawns & Landscape based on their reviews. We’re so glad we did! Isaac does a fantastic job servicing our yard, and we’ve already noticed a big improvement. They’re also great at communicating—always letting us know what’s going on and what to expect. Highly recommend!

I've had a tremendously positive experience with Excel. They were the only company in the metro I could find willing to cut my lawn a trifle lower. All the other companies said no. Mike the initial contact was most customer service oriented and responsive to my inquiry. He alayed my fears that the lawn would continue to look shaggy! Isaac and Joe were my mow team and we're most receptive to my preferences. They mowed it just like we have done ourselves for over 30 years, and did a great job edging! They were very polite and professional. We hope to expand the lawn service options we use through Excel going forward.

Excel Lawns & Landscape has been handling my lawncare for going on two years. I am extremely satisfied with their service.
Isaac and Joe do a great job and are always courteous and respectful. They drive up, get the job done and leave my lawn looking great!
Any time I have had a question I have found Mike to be very responsive and helpful. I would recommend to anyone who asks.

Ryan was here nice and early, and completed dethatching/power raking our lawn quickly and thoroughly. He left a detailed note after he completed the work, recommending next steps to improve the lawn. Thank you!

Ryan and Andrew came to the diocese today to get the acorns out of the drive way and parking lot and to do some trimming around the house. These 2 guys did an outstanding job! The nooks and crannies of the brick drive are bare of weeds! The curb around the parking area and the weeds out in front of the carriage house - clear! The diocese area is beginning to look not so neglected. Ryan and Andrew took the time to get the weeds in the rocks cleared too. They were both polite and kind and made notes for the future service that will be continued next year too. Very Grateful! Thank you Ryan and Andrew!

Excel Lawns and Landscapes has taken great care of my lawn! In addition, I contacted Mike after our last snowfall when I had over a foot of drifted, heavy snow covering my driveway and sidewalk. He came out after 9 pm on a Sunday, after plowing non-stop for 3 days and tucking his kids in bed, to get me dug out so I could make it to work on Monday. I cannot say enough good things about Excel. Thank you!

Excel Lawns and Landscape has done a fantastic job with my yard this year. They mow and trim the edges, and it looks so clean and satisfying. I love knowing that they take care of it, and it crosses something off of my long to do list. Thank you Joe and Isaac! Appreciate your hard work!

Excel has been night and day better then all of my past landscapers. The crew is very professional and gets the job done, even with tight deadlines I alway ask of them. Ryan & Mike have always been amazing at getting everything looking great for my customers.

Excel aerated and overseeded my lawn. Isaac was great to work with, helping me mark irrigation heads in yard interior and on neighbor’s borders with my yard. He asked me specifically where the property lines were located for our yard and updated me during the work and after. Great job, 3rd year I have used Excel for my fall aeration

We started using Excel Lawn & Landscape earlier this summer for our property with a large lawn and many oak trees. I can't say enough good things about Ryan & Andrew who have been responsive to our needs. They just finished a clean up of the acorns and trimming and our property looks great!
