Your Home Has Evolved. Your Landscaping Hasn’t.

If your West Des Moines home was built in the 1980s or 90s, chances are your landscaping was too, and it shows in tired shrubs, cracked edging, and a backyard that feels off limits when guests arrive. You’ve invested in your home and your career, and you have the budget to do this right, so a basic refresh won’t cut it. Brilliant Borders Landscaping designs complete outdoor living spaces with patios, retaining walls, and upscale concrete edging, planned through a design process that turns your ideas into a clear, tangible plan with your wishes as the focal point. Every crew member trains year round through Greenius and Brilliant Borders University, so the people on your property are certified, skilled, and organized. The work is done right the first time and backed by real warranties: five years on walls and patios, one year on concrete and trees, and sixty days on plants. And once your space is built, the same team stays on to maintain it, keeping your investment looking exactly the way it did on day one.

Professional, Flexible, and Reliable Team

I contracted with Brilliant Borders for a new backyard patio. It wasn’t a huge project, but the whole team, Christian, Armando, Alex, and Alvaro, were great to work with. They were very responsive to questions and check-ins, and were easy to work with on adjusting the design and the scope and worked quickly, even with unexpected rain delays. I was very happy with the final result and would definitely recommend them.
