Front Yard Landscape Design & Installation in the Quad Cities
Overgrown shrubs can hide your home, tired beds can make the entrance feel neglected, and an awkward walkway can leave guests wondering where to go. Based in Moline, Illinois, Topscape helps homeowners rethink their front yards with planting, defined landscape beds, and hardscaping that complement the house. We serve Rock Island, East Moline, Silvis, and Coal Valley, along with Davenport and Bettendorf, Iowa.
Our landscape design process considers your home’s architecture, sunlight, plant growth, and the amount of upkeep you want. We can create a clear route to your entrance with paver walkways, incorporate retaining walls where changes in elevation call for them, and add landscape lighting to highlight the finished space. Whether you want to refresh the beds or redesign the entire entrance, we plan the improvements around your property, priorities, and budget.

Rethink the Beds, Walkway & Front Entrance
Years of growth and occasional additions can leave a front yard feeling crowded and disconnected. Topscape helps homeowners across Moline, Rock Island, and the Quad Cities decide what to keep, what to remove, and where a new layout would make a difference. Our landscape design process brings the planting beds and entrance together, with room for plants to mature without overwhelming windows or walking routes.
Your renovation might focus on replacing oversized shrubs and reshaping beds, or extend to a new paver walkway and steps. We consider slopes, runoff, and the connection between your driveway and front door before recommending improvements. Where the property calls for them, retaining walls can help organize changes in elevation and create defined planting areas.
- Replace overgrown or poorly placed shrubs
- Reshape beds around your home’s features
- Improve the route to your front door
- Plan for mature plant size and upkeep

Front Yard Landscaping Frequently Asked Questions
Thinking about replacing overgrown shrubs, updating your entrance, or starting with a new landscape plan? Here are answers to common front yard landscaping questions from Quad Cities homeowners.
How much does front yard landscaping cost?
The cost depends on the area being renovated, existing landscape removal, soil preparation, and the plants and materials you choose. Walkways, steps, walls, and lighting add to the scope. We’ll discuss what you want to change and what you want to spend, then assess your property before preparing a project-specific estimate.
Do we have to remove all of my existing landscaping?
No. Healthy plants and existing features that suit the new layout may be worth keeping. We assess their condition, size, and placement before recommending removal or replacement. Your plan can retain established elements while addressing crowded beds, blocked views, or plants that have outgrown their space.
Can you help me choose plants that suit my home?
Yes. Our landscape design process considers sunlight, soil conditions, available space, and your preferences. We look at mature plant sizes as well as seasonal color and texture, helping you choose planting that complements your home without crowding windows, entrances, or walkways as it grows.
Can you design a front yard that needs less maintenance?
We can plan around reducing routine upkeep through appropriate plant selection, spacing, manageable bed layouts, and defined edges. Tell us which tasks you would like to reduce, such as frequent trimming or caring for large planted areas. Every landscape still needs some care, including watering during establishment and ongoing weeding and seasonal cleanup.
Can you replace my front walkway as part of the project?
Yes. We can incorporate a new paver walkway into the front yard design. Planning the path and planting together lets us consider the route from your driveway or sidewalk, entrance elevations, comfortable walking space, and room for surrounding plants to grow.
What if my front yard slopes or has drainage problems?
We assess elevations and how water moves through the area before finalizing the layout. Depending on the site, the plan may call for grading adjustments, drainage improvements, or retaining walls. Addressing these conditions during planning helps guide where beds, paths, and other features belong.
How long does a front yard landscaping project take?
A planting bed renovation has a different schedule than a project involving demolition, walkways, steps, and walls. Timing depends on the agreed scope, site access, weather, and plant and material availability. Before installation, we’ll explain the expected schedule and discuss how work may affect access to your driveway and front entrance.
Can we complete the front yard renovation in phases?
Yes, when the project allows it. An overall plan helps organize the work so later additions fit the finished areas. For example, grading, drainage, and walkway construction may need to happen before nearby planting. We’ll help establish priorities and consider future features, such as landscape lighting, while planning the first phase.
