Creekside Turf Management provides residential and commercial lawn care across Marion, Cedar Rapids, Hiawatha, Mt. Vernon, and surrounding Iowa communities. We’re partnered with D&K Products (a local, family-owned business) to apply top-tier products at rates that make sense for Iowa.

Why fertilizing matters

Most lawns don’t change overnight—expect the best improvements as the program builds round by round, especially after a full season on a consistent plan.

Thicker, greener turf

Seasonal feeding supports steady growth, deep color, and stronger roots.

Fewer weeds over time

Pre-emergent and targeted weed control reduces pressure throughout the season.

Healthier lawn, less stress

Balanced nutrients help turf handle heat, foot traffic, and seasonal swings.

How it works

Step 1

Tell us about the lawn

Share your address and any problem areas (weeds, thin spots, compaction).

Step 2

Pick a program level

We’ll help you choose based on goals and budget—then confirm pricing and timing.

Step 3

We apply on schedule

Timed seasonal treatments with clear expectations—so the lawn improves round by round.

Add-on services

Included in Premium Core aeration service

Core Aeration

We use deep tine aerators to penetrate the soil and create air flow within the soil. It’s very important to aerate on a yearly basis as it helps soil compaction and disease prevention.

FAQ

The best results come from a seasonal plan. Early spring focuses on prevention (pre-emergent), summer rounds build color and growth, and fall treatments strengthen roots for winter.

Weed control works best when it’s timed with emergence. Many lawns benefit from multiple targeted applications through late spring, summer, and fall.

Yes—request an estimate and we’ll evaluate the lawn, diagnose trouble spots, and recommend the right program level.

We partner with D&K Products (local, family-owned) and use top-tier materials applied at rates that make sense for Iowa conditions.

 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Creekside turf has done a terrific job restoring our lawn to a neighborhood showcase. 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.
