Our Services
LAWN CARE
Weekly mowing, crisp trim lines, and a fertility plan matched to Iowa's cool-season grasses. We fold in aeration, overseeding, weed control, and seasonal cleanups so turf thickens from the roots up instead of simply getting cut shorter.
LANDSCAPING
Full property installs that pull plantings, mulch, rock, and grade work into one coordinated plan. We rebuild tired beds, correct drainage trouble spots, and add structure that keeps a yard looking intentional through all four seasons.
PAVER PATIOS
Custom patios set on a compacted base built for Iowa freeze and thaw cycles. Pick concrete pavers, brick, or natural stone, then let us shape a surface made for grilling, fire pits, and long summer evenings outdoors.
RETAINING WALLS
Segmental block, natural stone, and reinforced walls that hold a slope and stop soil from washing toward the house. Drainage rock and proper base prep go in first, so the face stays straight for decades.
FLOWER BEDS
New bed installs and full renovations, from edge layout and soil prep to plant selection suited to your light and drainage. Fresh mulch or decorative rock finishes the look and keeps weeds from reclaiming the space.
LANDSCAPE EDGING
Clean separation between turf, beds, and walkways using steel, stone, brick, or spade-cut trenches. Defined lines keep mulch where you put it, block grass from creeping in, and make routine mowing noticeably quicker.
LANDSCAPE DESIGN
Plans drawn before a shovel moves, using design software that shows layout, materials, and plant placement in advance. You see the finished yard, adjust it on screen, and approve a scope with no guesswork attached.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to aerate and overseed a lawn in Iowa?
Early September is the sweet spot for core aeration here, while mid-August through mid-September suits overseeding best. Soil stays warm enough for quick germination and cooler nights ease stress, which is why we book most renovation work inside that window.
How do I stop water from pooling in my yard after heavy rain?
Standing water usually traces back to grade, compacted soil, or downspouts emptying too close to the foundation. Regrading low areas, running underground downspout lines, and shaping beds so they shed outward resolves the majority of cases we see.
Does a paver patio or a poured concrete patio last longer?
Pavers generally outlast poured concrete because individual units flex with frost movement instead of cracking across a slab. A damaged paver lifts out and gets swapped in minutes, while concrete repair usually means visible patching or a full pour.
How tall can a retaining wall be before it needs an engineer?
Most jurisdictions want engineered plans once a wall passes 4 feet from footing to cap, and taller walls need geogrid reinforcement behind the block. We assess height, slope, and surcharge load during the site visit before recommending any system.
