All Landscaping Services
Everything your Cedar Falls property needs, all year.
Landscape Installation
Need a fresh look for your yard? We handle the whole job: plant selection, soil prep, grading, mulching, and planting. We pick plants that work in Iowa and lay everything out so it looks good now and holds up through the seasons.
Lawn Care & Mowing
A good lawn takes steady care. We mow at the right height, aerate when needed, fertilize on a schedule, and hit weeds before they spread. Your grass stays thick and green when it counts.
Preservation & Restoration
Overgrown beds, compacted soil, erosion damage. We figure out what's wrong and fix it. Soil repair, selective removal, replanting, and plant health treatments get neglected yards back on track.
Tree Service
From routine trimming to full removal and stump grinding, our tree crew handles it safely. We also spot and treat common Iowa tree diseases and pests before they spread.
Landscape Maintenance
Regular upkeep keeps your yard looking good. Our crews handle pruning, bed edging, fresh mulch, fertilization, and spring and fall cleanups on a schedule that works for you.
Hydroseeding
Hydroseeding is the best way to establish a new lawn or fix large bare areas. We spray a mix of seed, mulch, and starter fertilizer that holds moisture and helps grass come in even across the whole area.
Snow Removal
Iowa winters are unpredictable. We provide contracted snow removal for residential and commercial properties, including driveways, sidewalks, and parking areas, so you're never scrambling after a storm.
Landscape Design
Before the first shovel hits the dirt, a solid plan makes everything easier. We create custom landscape designs for sun exposure, drainage, hardscape layout, and plant selection so your installation goes smoothly from start to finish.
Drainage Solutions
Poor drainage kills grass and can damage foundations. We diagnose the problem and install French drains, regrading, catch basins, and downspout extensions built for Iowa rain and freeze-thaw cycles.
Excavation
Excavation is the starting point for major landscape work. We handle site clearing, cut and fill grading, trenching, and final grade prep in tight residential spaces with skid steers and mini excavators.
Sod Installation
Sod gives you an instant green lawn without months of waiting. We prep the soil, grade for drainage, install with tight seams, and walk you through watering and care for the first few weeks.
Mulching
Mulch does more than tidy up your beds — it holds moisture, blocks weeds, and protects roots through Iowa heat and cold. We weed, edge, and apply the right depth without piling against trunks or stems.
Rock Landscaping
Rock landscaping is a durable, low-maintenance option where grass won't grow or mulch needs replacing every year. We install river rock, gravel, boulders, and dry creek beds with proper base prep for a natural look.
Tree Planting
Trees are a long-term investment in shade, privacy, and property value. We select Iowa-hardy species for your site, plant at the correct depth with amended soil, and set you up for healthy growth from day one.
Shrub Installation
Shrubs form the backbone of most residential landscapes. We install foundation plantings, privacy hedges, and ornamental shrubs with proper spacing and Iowa-hardy varieties for year-round interest.
Commercial Landscaping
Commercial properties need landscaping that looks professional year-round. We provide mowing, pruning, mulching, snow removal, and hardscape for office parks, retail centers, and HOAs with consistent scheduling and one invoice.
Residential Landscaping
Your home landscape should be a space you enjoy every day. From full yard transformations to weekly mowing and seasonal cleanups, we handle design, installation, and maintenance tailored to your budget and family.
Grading & Leveling
Proper grading solves drainage problems and creates level surfaces for patios, lawns, and gardens. We cut and fill low spots and direct water away from foundations so you notice the difference every time it rains.
Outdoor Living Spaces
Turn your backyard into an extension of your home. We design and build paver patios, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and seating areas with lighting and landscaping integrated for how you entertain.
