Local family owned & operated. Quality work at a fair price. Owner has been in landscape industry since 1990. We strive to make sure each customer is completed satisfied with the completed project.

"Jamie and his team over at Lawn & Landscape are ultimate professionals. They quoted me a price, and were able to level my large yard front and back, bury two tiles for drainage, and plant new grass seed in just 4 days. We were having issues with our backyard flooding and pooling, and that has been completely fixed, without damaging our existing fence. Best part? The final total was less than the original quote. I would and will recommend Supreme Lawn & Landscape to anyone who needs a landscaping company."

Locally owned and operated company right here in the state of Iowa. We do take care of any excavation or grading needs a homeowner might need. With 20 years of experience in the industry, we offer a fair and competitive price and we are always available to answer any questions.

"Billy did a great job on our project! He informed me every step of the way and responded to my questions in less than a day. And in most cases he responded in less than an hour. He was also very patient as we had to delay a few weeks due to my scheduling conflicts. He was very careful around my house while moving all the dirt and rock. I’ll definitely hire him again for other projects!"

Specialize in all types of remodel and handyman needs. Anything from assembling furniture to a complete demo and remodel we can do!

"Ethan was timely very personable and professional with his work. But the thing that impressed me the most was his attention to detail, this man did a job for me that I thought looked awesome but he didn’t like how a small aspect of it turned out so he took it all apart and made sure it was to his standards of completion. That isn’t something you see often anymore at all. I would highly recommend him for any project in your home."

Holiday lighting add or removes FAQs

Finding affordable Christmas light installers means identifying professionals with fixed, transparent per-foot and hourly rates. You locate cost-effective installers by evaluating local service providers who offer quality installation without compromising safety. Cutting corners on wiring and installation jeopardizes both aesthetics and safety, so select installers with proven credentials. Enhance savings by choosing accent areas over full coverage, sourcing your own lights, and using timers to regulate energy consumption and boost efficiency.

Yes, hiring an installer for off-season Christmas light installation provides definitive cost benefits. You secure reduced rates because service demand declines between February and September, and installers maintain availability throughout the year. Reduced business activity in these months leads to lower fees, and you have the option of hiring a local handyperson or opting for permanent installation services if required.

Determining the number of holiday lights for your house depends on your home’s size and specific decorative vision. Your project requires 10 to 20 light strands for a basic exterior display, with 100 lights allocated for eaves and an additional 10 to 20 bulbs for each awning. For trees and substantial shrubs, allocate five to 10 strands per unit to achieve complete and balanced illumination across your property.

Tipping your Christmas light installer is a customary practice that rewards the exceptional skill and dedication involved in creating your festive display. You affirm the value of quality service by providing a tip of 10% to 20% of the total invoice. This gesture not only recognizes superior workmanship but also encourages continued excellence in future projects.
