Project Description

About Bentley Ridge Tree Farm

If you can leave Bentley Ridge Tree Farm without a cart loaded with plants, you’re stronger than most.  With 7½ acres of vibrant plant displays, it’s nearly impossible to not want everything you lay eyes on.

From blooming annuals and perennials to leafy houseplants, tall trees, shrubs, and even fruits and veggies, this family-owned garden center in Grimes, IA has a little something for every green thumb.

You’ll also find a great selection of garden décor, bird supplies, and all the lawn and garden products you need to make your outdoor space shine.

Bentley Ridge’s wholesale department supplies landscapers with top-quality, affordable plants that bring homes and businesses to life. For added convenience, the Farm offers delivery and planting services.

Bentley Ridge Tree Farm has grown rapidly since planting its first generation of trees in 2008, just two years after opening in Urbandale, IA. It quickly expanded to 30 acres, with the capacity to house 25,000 trees and shrubs.

Today, the farm spans 80 acres in Grimes, and once construction finishes on the new field operations, they’ll be home to nearly 50,000 plants.

Expanding With Greenhouses Built to Last

As Bentley Ridge expanded, Prospiant provided the design and materials for three new, state-of-the-art greenhouses. These gutter-connected Vail-style houses—each 30 feet wide by 130 feet long—added 11,700 square feet of greenhouse space.

With 14-foot under-gutter height and 10-foot bay spacing, the greenhouses offer more than enough room for Bentley Ridge to grow and display its plants. Three large overhead doors on each gable end provide the flexibility for a wide-open layout feel that is open to the outside, or total enclosure. The doors also make it easy to move plant material in and out of the greenhouse.

Seven purlin runs per house and strong, 4-inch square columns anchored securely in the foundation ensure these structures will last for generations and withstand the Iowa weather.

Bentley Ridge Tree Farm has everything you need—quality plants, great service, and space to explore. Stop by and see for yourself!
