About Cook Landscapes & Dirtworks, LLC

Down where the Raccoon River bends past Water Works Park, the cold pools in the low ground first — fog off the water freezing onto the willows before a single flake has fallen anywhere else in the city. Cook Landscapes & Dirtworks, LLC knows those river-bottom properties behave differently than the rest of Des Moines and plans its snow routes accordingly, clearing driveways and walkways early on the blocks that ice over before the forecast even calls for it. Parking areas and access lanes get plowed and treated with de-icer so the low spots don't turn into standing ice by afternoon. The company works residential and commercial properties across the metro, with particular attention to the ground that sits closest to the river, where a plain snow event can turn into something slicker overnight. It's the kind of care that river-adjacent ground demands, this close to where warm water and cold air keep disagreeing all winter long.
