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.

Lawn Fertilization

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.

Lawn Seeding and Sod Installation

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.

Spring & Fall Cleanups

Yard full of leaves, branches, and debris? We offer full seasonal cleanups to remove yard waste and prep your property for spring growth or winter weather. Cleanups include leaf removal, trimming, bed clearing, and haul away.

Custom Landscaping in Iowa City

We design and install landscapes that are easy to care for and look great all year. Our landscaping services in Iowa City help you boost curb appeal, improve outdoor living, and make your property more enjoyable.

Planting Beds & Mulch

We create garden beds with vibrant flowers, shrubs, and trees that thrive in Iowa’s climate. We add mulch to conserve moisture, block weeds, and enhance the look of your yard.

Shrub & Tree Planting

We plant healthy, mature shrubs and trees to give your landscape structure and shade. Proper planting depth and spacing ensure long-term health and strong roots.

Bed Edging & Garden Maintenance

We edge beds for a sharp, finished look. Regular maintenance keeps weeds out and flowers blooming. You can book one-time service or ongoing monthly maintenance.

Grading & Drainage

Water pooling in your yard? We fix grading issues and install drain tile systems to direct water away from buildings and low spots. Proper drainage protects your lawn and foundation.

Hardscaping for Iowa City Properties

Hardscaping adds value and usable space to your yard. Our team builds attractive, functional features using stone, concrete, and pavers. Every build is customized to your space, slope, and style.

Patios, Walkways & Steps

We design and install patios for relaxing and entertaining. Add walkways, stone paths, and stairs that improve safety and movement in your yard.

Retaining Walls

We install retaining walls that manage slope, stop erosion, and add a polished look. Choose from stone, concrete block, or decorative materials to fit your home’s exterior.

Fire Pits & Outdoor Features

Add a fire pit, built-in bench, or decorative boulder feature to bring life to your backyard. We help you design a space that’s cozy and practical.

Landscape Lighting Installation

We install outdoor lighting to improve curb appeal, safety, and evening enjoyment. Lighting options include:

  • Uplighting for trees and homes
  • Under-cap lighting for retaining walls
  • Pathway lighting for walkways and driveways

Our LED lights are low-voltage, energy-efficient, and professionally installed.

Power Washing & Yard Cleanup

We help Iowa City properties look sharp with deep cleaning and debris removal.

Debris Cleanup & Hauling

We clear storm damage, fallen branches, old mulch, and more. We haul everything off-site so you don’t have to.

Power Washing

We power wash driveways, patios, sidewalks, and retaining walls to remove dirt, mold, and buildup. It instantly brightens concrete and stone surfaces.

Iowa City Snow Removal Services

Winter in Iowa requires fast, reliable snow removal. We serve both homes and commercial properties in Iowa City with prompt plowing and ice control.

Residential Snow Removal

We clear snow from driveways, sidewalks, and steps. We also provide salting and de-icing to reduce slips and falls.
