Fertilization & Lawn Care Services in Iowa

Exceptional Lawn Care Services

Our Services

We provide Mowing and Fertilizing services to Cedar Rapids, Marion, Mt. Vernon, North Liberty, Solon, Johnston, Des Moines and surrounding Iowa cities.

Fertilization & Weed Control

A healthy lawn needs the right nutrients at the right time. Our fertilization and weed control programs are built around the season, so your turf stays thick, green, and resilient. We focus on steady growth and strong roots, not quick fixes that fade after a couple weeks. Weed control is handled alongside fertilization to keep your lawn clean and uniform from spring through fall.

Weekly Lawn Mowing

Reliable weekly mowing keeps your property looking sharp and helps prevent lawn stress. Each visit includes mowing, trimming along edges and hard surfaces, and a clean finish so the yard looks cared for when we leave. We keep routes consistent so you are not guessing when service will happen. We do not offer one-time cuts because weekly care delivers the best results.

Dethatching

Thatch buildup can block water, air, and nutrients from reaching the soil. Dethatching removes that dead layer and opens the surface so the lawn can breathe again. It is a great option when turf looks thin, spongy, or slow to respond even with regular watering and fertilizer. Done at the right time, dethatching helps the lawn recover faster and grow stronger.

Leaf Removal

Leaves left on turf can smother grass and trap moisture, leading to thin spots and disease. Our leaf removal service clears the yard so sunlight and airflow reach the lawn again. We also collect loose debris from beds and corners. It is a simple service that makes a noticeable difference going into winter and during spring green-up.

Core Aeration

Compacted soil makes it harder for water and nutrients to reach the roots. Core aeration relieves that pressure by pulling plugs and creating space for airflow and absorption. It is one of the most effective ways to improve turf health, especially for lawns with foot traffic or clay soils. Aeration also helps lawns respond better to fertilization and improves thickness over time.

Insecticide Services

Protect your property from unwanted insects with safe, effective applications for yards, landscaping, ornamentals, and trees. Choose a single annual recurring application or a four-step seasonal program targeting ticks, Japanese beetles, spiders, boxelder bugs, Asian lady bugs, and more.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We started with Creekside for our mowing service for one of our commercial buildings. We have been very happy with them and they are responsive to any questions or concerns that we might have. I recommend them. We now use them for fertilizing and mowing not only for our two commercial properties but also our home. I would definitely recommend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very thorough, very courteous, came out to visit us before the first time they made their first application so they could actually see the property and know what and where the applications were to be made.  They blew off the walks and driveway, any time we had questions the workers would stop and explain, then make sure we had no more question before resuming the application.  Any time we want to communicate with the company we can call and talk to an actual person instead of a phone tree of recorded responses.

Devin takes the time to listen to any concerns and customizes the lawn care based on the customer request using only the best products and application practices. Creekside also times the application of products based on weather forecasts so that products activate to their fullest potential.
