Matthias Landscaping Co. brings Cedar Valley craftsmanship to Buckingham and the surrounding Tama County countryside. Quality hardscaping and landscape design for rural and acreage properties.
Schedule a ConsultationBuckingham is a small, tight-knit community in Tama County, located south of the Cedar Valley along the boundary between Black Hawk and Tama counties. With a population under 200, Buckingham is quintessential rural Iowa — farmsteads, acreage properties, and a community centered around its church, post office, and the surrounding agricultural landscape. Residents here value quality work, personal relationships, and contractors who show up when they say they will.
Our headquarters in Waterloo on Wagner Road is a straightforward drive south to Buckingham, putting the community well within our regular service area. We have worked on properties throughout Tama County and understand the unique needs of rural and acreage homeowners. Larger lots, longer driveways, and properties that blend residential living with agricultural surroundings all require a different approach than standard subdivision landscaping, and our team has the equipment and experience to handle projects at any scale.
Rural Property Expertise
Landscaping for Buckingham Acreages & Rural Homes
Acreage & Farmstead Properties
Buckingham properties tend to be larger than typical suburban lots, often ranging from one to several acres. These properties benefit from a structured approach that creates defined outdoor living zones near the home while allowing the surrounding acreage to maintain its natural character. We design patio spaces, retaining walls, and planting beds that establish a clear transition between the maintained landscape and the open land beyond.
On larger properties, grading and drainage take on particular importance. Water management across an acreage involves different considerations than a quarter-acre residential lot. We design drainage solutions that direct water away from foundations and outdoor living areas while working with the natural slope and flow patterns of the land.
Wind Exposure & Tree Screening
Without the shelter of neighboring homes and mature neighborhood trees, Buckingham properties face full exposure to Iowa's prevailing northwest winds. A well-planned evergreen windbreak or shelterbelt not only reduces heating costs and protects outdoor living areas from wind chill, but also creates a visual backdrop that frames the property and provides privacy from the road. We design and install multi-row windbreak plantings using species proven for Iowa's Zone 5a climate.
