Great landscaping does more than make your property look beautiful. It can improve curb appeal, create privacy, add shade, define outdoor spaces and help you enjoy more of your property.
At Outdoor Innovations, we provide professional landscape design and installation for homeowners and businesses throughout the Quad Cities and surrounding communities. From refreshing an existing landscape to designing the grounds around a new home or creating a complete custom outdoor environment, our team can develop a landscape that fits your property, priorities and budget.
With over 30 years of landscape design and construction experience, we combine creative planning, quality plant materials and professional installation to create landscapes designed to look beautiful today and continue enhancing your property for years to come.
You don’t need to completely redesign your backyard to benefit from professional landscaping.
Outdoor Innovations works with clients on projects ranging from targeted landscape improvements to comprehensive property transformations. Our landscaping services can include:
Not sure exactly what your property needs? That’s where professional landscape design can make a difference. We can help you evaluate the space, identify opportunities and create a plan that works with both your property and the way you want to use it.
Successful landscaping starts long before the first tree, shrub or perennial goes into the ground.
Our design process considers the entire property rather than looking at individual plants in isolation. We take into account your home’s architecture, existing landscape, sunlight, drainage, available space, maintenance preferences, budget and how you want your outdoor areas to look and function.
Plant selection is also about more than choosing what looks good at the garden center. A thoughtfully planned landscape considers how plants will grow, seasonal color and interest, mature size, placement and how different elements will work together over time.
The goal is a landscape that feels like it belongs with your home—not something that was simply added around it.
Building a new home gives you a unique opportunity to create your landscape from the ground up.
Outdoor Innovations can develop a landscape plan that complements your home’s architecture while adding the trees, shrubs, plantings, lawn areas and outdoor features that help turn a new house into a finished property.
Planning the landscape as a whole can also make it easier to account for future improvements such as a patio, outdoor kitchen, fire feature, pool area, pergola or other outdoor living space.
You don’t necessarily have to build everything at once. A well-designed master plan can give you a clear vision for your property and allow improvements to be completed in phases as your needs and budget allow.
Landscaping doesn’t have to start from scratch.
Overgrown shrubs, aging plantings, empty landscape beds or a yard that simply no longer fits your style can make an otherwise beautiful home feel dated.
We can help rethink existing landscaping while determining which elements may be worth keeping. Updating plant materials, improving layouts and introducing new colors, textures and focal points can give your property a fresh appearance without requiring a complete outdoor renovation.
Sometimes a few thoughtful changes can make a dramatic difference.
Your landscape shouldn’t feel separate from the rest of your backyard.
Outdoor Innovations can coordinate landscaping with other outdoor features to create one cohesive design. Plantings can soften the edges of a patio, provide privacy around a pool, complement a pergola, frame a walkway or add color and texture around an outdoor kitchen or fire feature.
Our outdoor design capabilities can incorporate features such as:
Whether landscaping is the entire project or one part of a larger outdoor transformation, thoughtful design helps all of these elements work together.
Every property is different, but several questions can help guide the design process:
How do you want your property to look?
Consider the colors, textures and overall style that appeal to you and complement your home.
How much landscape maintenance do you want?
Plant choices and landscape design can be tailored to the amount of ongoing maintenance you are comfortable with.
How do you use your yard?
Landscaping can provide privacy, shade, screening, curb appeal or attractive surroundings for the places where you relax and entertain.
Are you planning future outdoor projects?
Thinking ahead about patios, pools, outdoor kitchens or other features can help prevent today’s landscaping from interfering with tomorrow’s plans.
What is your budget?
Understanding your priorities allows us to recommend ways to make the greatest impact within your investment and determine whether completing the project in phases makes sense.
Outdoor Innovations has been helping property owners throughout the Quad Cities create distinctive outdoor spaces for more than 30 years.
We believe good landscape design begins by listening.
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, we take the time to understand your ideas, your property and your goals. From initial planning through installation, our focus is on creating a finished landscape that reflects your style and enhances the way you experience your home or business.
Our experience extends beyond landscaping alone, allowing us to look at your property as a complete outdoor environment. That can be especially valuable when landscaping needs to coordinate with hardscaping, outdoor living areas or improvements you may want to make in the future.
The cost of landscaping varies considerably based on the size of the property, scope of the project, plant selections, site preparation, materials and any additional features being incorporated. Outdoor Innovations can discuss your priorities and budget and help develop a plan appropriate for your property.

Wherever you’re starting, Outdoor Innovations can help you develop a thoughtful plan and bring it to life.
