Our standard maintenance keeps your lawn healthy through Iowa's seasons. It includes regular mowing, edging, and blowing to keep things tidy. We also provide seasonal fertilization and targeted weed control to combat common local weeds. In the fall, we handle leaf removal and aeration, and in the spring, we offer clean-up services to clear away winter debris. This comprehensive approach helps build a thicker, more resilient lawn.

Yes, absolutely. Poor drainage and patchy grass are common issues here due to our soil composition and weather. We address this through landscape construction solutions, which can include grading adjustments, installing French drains, or creating rain gardens to redirect water. For the patchy lawn, we provide core aeration and overseeding with grass varieties suited for our climate, which improves soil health, reduces compaction, and promotes thick, even growth.

Timing is key for plant health. For most shrubs in Des Moines, late winter or early spring pruning is ideal before new growth starts, though some flowering varieties are best pruned after they bloom. Tree pruning is often done in late fall or winter when trees are dormant. For disease and insect management, early identification is crucial. We monitor for common local pests and fungal issues and can apply treatments as needed throughout the growing season to protect your investment.
