Reliable Lawn Care Services in Iowa City
Keeping a lawn healthy in Iowa’s changing seasons takes the right timing, tools, and treatment. Our expert team provides all the services needed to make your grass green, thick, and weed-free.
Lawn Mowing & Maintenance
Our weekly and bi-weekly mowing services include mowing, line trimming, edging along sidewalks and flower beds, and blowing off all paved areas. We adjust mowing height based on season to encourage strong root growth and reduce stress on your grass.

We use high-quality, slow-release fertilizer to feed your grass the nutrients it needs throughout the growing season. Our fertilization program includes multiple treatments per year and is customized to your lawn’s soil type and sun exposure.

If your lawn has bare patches or dead spots, we offer overseeding and sod installation. We match the best grass type to your yard's light levels and traffic. Our sod installations deliver instant curb appeal, while our seeding service builds stronger roots over time.
