We specialize in the structures that define your outdoor space — built with precision, designed to endure, and crafted to complement your home.

Patios & Pavers

Retaining Walls

Engineered retaining walls that manage slope, prevent erosion, and add usable flat space — built with block, stone, or poured concrete systems.

Protect your foundation and yard with French drains, channel drains, grading, and sump pump installations tailored to Cedar Rapids soil conditions.

Walkways & Driveways

Stamped, stamped-stamped, or natural stone walkways and driveways that elevate curb appeal and provide safe, lasting access to your home.

Fire Pits & Fireplaces

Custom stone or block fire features — from cozy round pits to full outdoor kitchen fireplaces — designed as the centerpiece of your backyard.

About Us

Rooted in Cedar Rapids.
Built on Reputation.

Richmond's Landscape Construction has been shaping the outdoor spaces of Cedar Rapids homeowners since 1985. What started as a one-man operation with a level and a dream has grown into one of the area's most trusted landscape construction firms — and we've never lost sight of what got us here.

We know these soils. We know how freeze-thaw cycles test a poorly installed retaining wall. We know which materials hold up through Iowa winters and which don't. That local knowledge is something no national franchise can replicate, and it's the reason our work lasts.

Every project — whether a modest walkway repair or a full backyard transformation — receives the same attention to detail and commitment to craftsmanship. We don't cut corners because we have to live here too.

Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

"Richmond's transformed our sloping backyard into a usable, beautiful space. The retaining wall they built has held perfectly through two brutal Iowa winters, and the new patio is where our family gathers every weekend. Honest, professional, and they cleaned up after themselves — rare these days."

Sarah M. Cedar Rapids, IA

"We had chronic drainage issues near our foundation that two other companies couldn't figure out. Richmond's diagnosed the problem quickly, installed a French drain system, and graded the yard properly. Not a single puddle since. Fair price, on time, and the crew was respectful of our property."

David L. Cedar Rapids, IA

"From the initial estimate to the final walkthrough, Richmond's was straightforward and professional. They installed a beautiful paver driveway and walkway that completely changed the look of our home. Neighbors keep asking who did the work. We couldn't be happier."

Jennifer K. Cedar Rapids, IA
