Schedule a ConsultationEverything Your Landscape Needs, in One Program
A landscape is a living investment that requires consistent, knowledgeable care to maintain its health and appearance. In the Cedar Valley, Iowa's four-season climate means your property faces a different set of demands every few months — spring recovery, summer growth, fall preparation, and winter dormancy each require specific maintenance tasks performed at the right time.
Matthias Landscaping Co. offers comprehensive maintenance programs that cover every aspect of landscape care throughout the year. Rather than managing separate contractors for mowing, mulching, pruning, and cleanups, our programs bundle everything into a single, coordinated plan executed by a team that knows your property. We handle the scheduling, the seasonal transitions, and the small issues before they become expensive problems.
Our maintenance programs are built around each property's specific needs. A newly installed landscape needs different care than a mature property. A property with extensive planting beds needs more attention than one that is primarily turf. We evaluate your property, identify what it needs across all four seasons, and build a program that covers everything.
Maintenance Program Components
Lawn Mowing
Weekly mowing at the correct seasonal height, string trimming around all obstacles, edging along hard surfaces, and hard surface blowing. Commercial equipment maintained with sharp blades for clean cuts that promote turf health.
Mulch & Bed Care
Annual mulch application, bed edge re-cutting, weed removal, dead-heading, and pruning of bed plantings. Keeps landscape beds looking clean and ensures plants stay healthy throughout the growing season.
Shrub & Hedge Pruning
Scheduled pruning of shrubs, hedges, and ornamental trees at the correct time for each species. Proper timing prevents removing flower buds on spring-bloomers and promotes healthy regrowth. We shape hedges for density and structure, not just appearance.
Spring Cleanup
Debris removal, thatch raking, bed cleanup, first bed edge cut of the season, perennial cutback removal, and a thorough property inspection. Everything needed to bring the property from winter dormancy to growing-season readiness.
Fall Cleanup
Leaf removal from lawn areas and beds, perennial cutback, final bed cleanup, and property winterization preparation. We remove leaves before they smother turf and encourage snow mold, and cut back perennials after the first hard frost.
Property Monitoring
During every visit, our crew keeps an eye on the overall condition of your landscape — watching for pest damage, disease symptoms, irrigation issues, drainage problems, and areas that may need attention before they become larger problems.
Why One Team Makes a Difference
When your lawn crew, mulch crew, and pruning contractor are all different companies, coordination problems are inevitable. Schedules conflict, bed edges get damaged by mowers because the mulch crew already cut them, and nobody takes responsibility for the small things that fall between job descriptions.
With a Matthias maintenance program, one team handles everything. Our crews know where the irrigation heads are, which plantings are new, what was pruned last month, and where the drainage issues tend to appear. This institutional knowledge means your property gets better care, and you get one point of contact instead of three or four.
For commercial properties, this consolidation is particularly valuable. Property managers and business owners need one reliable vendor they can count on for consistent results without having to micromanage multiple service providers.
Maintenance Program FAQ
A maintenance program is a comprehensive, season-long plan where all services are coordinated and scheduled in advance. Instead of calling separately for mowing, mulching, pruning, and cleanups, everything is bundled and our team manages the timing. This ensures nothing gets missed, services are performed at the optimal time for plant health, and you have predictable scheduling and one point of contact for everything.
In the Cedar Valley, our maintenance season typically runs from early April through late November. Spring cleanup begins as soon as the ground thaws and the worst of the spring mud has passed. Fall cleanup wraps up once the last leaves have dropped, usually by mid to late November. The exact start and end dates shift slightly each year based on weather conditions.
Yes. Every maintenance program is built around the specific needs of your property. If you only need mowing and seasonal cleanups, we can set that up. If you have extensive planting beds, a large property, or specific requirements like hedge trimming on a particular schedule, we adjust accordingly. During the initial consultation, we walk the property with you and build a plan that covers exactly what you need.
