Profile

Rennebohm and Associates, LLC is a landscape architecture firm specializing in residential and commercial designs.
We strive to incorporate sustainable practices into all of our designs and understand the importance of using native plants and local materials.
Rennebohm and Associates is located in the Des Moines, Iowa area and offers services throughout the Midwest.

 

Rennebohm and Associates, LLC is a collaboration between Bob Rennebohm and his daughter Molly Rennebohm Wood.  You will notice we have chosen Aspen leaves as our logo.  The aspen grove is one of the world’s largest living organisms, and every tree in the grove is derived from a single parent tree.  An aspen grove can grow large enough to cover an entire mountainside while the trees within the grove are interconnected through their shared root system.  Each tree stands as an individual and at the same time is connected to the whole.
