About Country Landscapes inc.
Country Landscapes inc. is a landscaping and land-care company based in Ames, Iowa, with other locations in Des Moines, Clear Lake and North Liberty. It has worked in the Midwest, including the Northern Iowa area and the eastern Iowa area, since it was founded in Ames in 1981. Its work covers site preparation, brush and invasive species management, heavy machinery and forestry mowing, tree planting by hand and machine, forest stand improvement, prescribed fire, trail construction, erosion control, surface restoration and large clearing and excavation work. It also runs design and installation service, nursery sales, commercial project services, stonemasonry, arborist work and landscape management. A design job starts with an on-site visit where the designer takes pictures and gathers measurements, then moves to a presentation and a signed proposal before installation begins. It aims to provide "innovative design and quality installation" and "unsurpassed quality" in its design and construction work. This suits a landowner near Ames who wants one company that can handle both larger clearing or land-management work and ordinary landscaping, design and nursery needs.

Can they handle a timber sale?
Selling standing timber properly takes three things. Here's what the state register credits this firm with.
Timber AppraisalAn estimate of what your standing timber is worth in dollars, based on how much there is, its quality, and current prices. When you are selling, settling an estate, dividing property, or need a value for taxes or insurance.What does this mean? → — not listed
works out what your standing timber is worth
Timber Cruise & Volume EstimateA field measurement of your standing trees — their species, sizes, and quality — that adds up to how much wood you actually have. Before you sell, so you go in knowing roughly what is out there rather than taking a buyer's word for it.What does this mean? → — not listed
measures and grades what's actually out there
Timber Sale & Contract AdministrationRunning the sale for you: advertising the timber, taking bids, writing the contract, and overseeing the logging so the agreed terms are met. When you want someone on your side handling the whole sale rather than dealing with buyers and loggers yourself.What does this mean? → — not listed
runs the sale and handles the contract
This firm isn't credited with all three, which doesn't make it a worse forester — plenty specialise in management planning, wildlife or wetlands. It does mean that if your goal is to sell timber, you'd likely need someone else for the part that's missing.
