Darren Kendell

Landscape Designer

Darren Kendell is Meyer’s newest designer and a welcomed addition to the landscape design team.  Darren has been designing and estimating in the landscape industry for over 30 years and is known for his unique designs, customer service, and quality workmanship.  Darren graduated from Iowa State University with a BLA (Bachelor of Landscape Architecture) in 1985.   Right after graduating, Darren headed to Southern California, where he worked at HRP Laundering in Santa Ana, CA until 1989.   Darren then moved to St. Louis, MO. and worked one season at Austin Tao & Associates.  After moving back home – here in the Quad Cities – Darren began a long and successful career as lead landscape designer for two reputable firms in Iowa, and Meyer is fortunate to have him.  Darren realizes that every client’s needs and situations are different, so he listens closely to their wants and desires.   He knows that everybody can come up with different ideas and designs, so Darren likes to take a “hands-on” approach to coming up with the best possible design that will meet and exceed the objectives of every client he works with.
