Iowa City Landscaping & Garden Center, established in 1982 by siblings Paul and Dennis Dykstra along with sister-in-law Linda, has grown to be one of the largest landscaping and garden centers in Eastern Iowa. From its humble beginnings in a small location on Highway 1, the business quickly expanded to meet the demand for quality landscaping services and a variety of plants. After relocating and remodeling their current space, they have created a vibrant garden center that showcases a diverse collection of plants, including annuals, perennials, native trees, and more.
The center not only serves residents looking to beautify their spaces but also emphasizes a strong commitment to community and environmental responsibility. The company's core values focus on quality service, heartfelt customer appreciation, and a positive, respectful work environment. They strive to provide their customers with the right plants for their specific needs and are dedicated to being a resource for plant knowledge and landscaping advice.
Over the years, the company has expanded its offerings to include comprehensive landscaping services, from basic garden maintenance to intricate installations like patios, retaining walls, and outdoor features. The staff is passionate about plants and landscape design, creating a cohesive environment where knowledge and customer service are paramount.
Iowa City Landscaping remains a family-oriented business, valuing both their customers and community involvement through charitable donations and local initiatives. Their garden center is more than just a place to buy plants; it's a community hub where gardening enthusiasts can connect, learn, and thrive. As they continue to adapt and grow, Iowa City Landscaping & Garden Center aims to be a beloved part of the local outdoor landscape.
