"Hi, my name is Brian. I moved to the Des Moines area about two years ago and began offering snow removal services last winter. This March, I expanded to include lawn care, landscaping, yard cleanups, minor home repairs, and other miscellaneous services. As a service-connected disabled Army veteran, I am still able to do a great job for all your lawn care, landscaping, and snow removal needs. I started this work to stay busy and serve my community, friends, and neighbors. I would be happy to assist you with your lawn care needs. Thank you, and I hope to hear from you soon!"

I'm an outgoing driven person who loves to work and hopes to share my knowledge with others, so hopefully they can have their own business as well. I have done lawn care since I was a kid even landscaping, I enjoy working with my hands and being outside. I've learned that heat and cold can be an issue but with proper precautions, the job gets done, and it all works out in the long run.

I do a lot of remodeling, and this seemed like an extra source of income that I totally enjoy. So it fits me perfectly. I'm happy to help in any way I can. My customers always come first, and I strive to prioritize their needs in every way possible.

I started my business about 10 years ago. Just to say I could do it, and I fell in love with working outdoors. I'm not one of the big companies that are out there. Now I'm only me, and what you see is what you get, but know this, I give it my all and am always asking myself if I would want my yard to look like this.

Des Moines Landscaping Calendar
Once the snow melts, it’s time to start up your Des Moines landscaping routine.
If you want to keep your Des Moines landscape looking its best — why wouldn’t you? — follow this calendar.
Spring:
- Lawn Care: Mowing season in Des Moines typically starts in March.
- Irrigation: Des Moines lawns should get 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week, ideally spread over two waterings. Late spring is a great time to install a sprinkler system because the soil is thawed and easy to work in.
- Hardscaping: Spring is the ideal time of year to install new hardscapes or work on your fence’s wooden structures. However, it may be more expensive or harder to schedule.
- Mulch: Apply or reapply mulch early in the spring, right after the last frost.
- Shrub Pruning: Prune shrubbery in early spring or late winter while it’s still dormant.
- Planting: Des Moines’ growing season lasts from mid-May to mid-October.
Summer:
- Lawn Care: Cool-season grasses slow their growth in summer and may go dormant if the weather is especially hot and dry. Reduce your mowing and watering schedule accordingly and stop altogether during dormancy.
- Landscape Lighting: As the season starts to warm up, enjoy your outdoors for longer with some new landscape lighting.
Fall:
- Lawn Care: A period of high growth for cool-season lawns. Increase your mowing and watering schedule
- Leaf Cleanup: The leaves will fall in Des Moines in early October.
- Fertilization: The best time of year to fertilize in Des Moines is in mid-September and once again in October.
- Planting: Plant bulbs in fall for spring blooms next year.
- Hardscaping: Your last chance to get a new landscape feature before temperatures drop.
Winter:
- Lawn Care: Dormant season for most lawns. Cease all mowing, fertilization, and watering.
If you’re looking for landscaping help, give LawnStarter’s landscaping pros a call. We’re ready to take care of your Des Moines lawn.
