Ankeny lawns deal with real Iowa conditions, compacted clay soil, hot summers, late-season grub pressure, and spring wet spells that make turf recovery slow if you’re not ahead of it. At Tebock’s Landscape, we’ve been working Ankeny yards long enough to know what works here and what doesn’t.
We offer full-service lawn care in Ankeny: fertilization programs timed to Iowa’s growing seasons, weed control before and after problems appear,
core aeration to break up compacted soil, overseeding to fill in the thin spots, and professional mowing on a consistent schedule. Everything your lawn needs, handled by one crew that knows this territory.

Feed your lawn with the nutrients it needs for the whole season.
Our fertilization programs are built around Iowa’s growing calendar…spring green-up, summer stress support, and fall root-building.
We use the right nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium ratios for Ankeny’s soil conditions so you get consistent color and density without burning your grass.
Crabgrass, dandelions, and creeping Charlie don’t wait, and neither do we.
Tebock’s applies pre-emergent treatments in early spring to stop weeds before they germinate, and post-emergent applications to handle what’s already up.
Targeted to the weeds, safe for your lawn and your family.
Ankeny’s clay-heavy soils compact hard, especially in high-traffic areas.
Core aeration pulls plugs from the ground to open up channels for oxygen, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone.
One aeration pass in fall makes a bigger difference than most homeowners expect…grass roots go deeper, drought stress drops, and the lawn bounces back faster the following spring.
If your lawn has thin patches, bare spots from summer heat, or areas that never quite filled back in after construction, overseeding puts new seed directly into the existing turf.
Slice seeding cuts a groove in the soil first for better seed-to-soil contact.
We recommend pairing it with aeration in the fall for the best results.
Japanese beetle grubs feed on grass roots through late summer and fall.
By the time you see the brown patches, the damage is already done.
Tebock’s applies preventive grub control treatments in early summer, before the eggs hatch, so the root system stays intact through the season.
If you’ve had grub damage before, this is the one treatment worth doing every year.
Consistent mowing at the right height is one of the most overlooked parts of a healthy lawn.
Our mowing service covers cutting, trimming, edging, and cleanup on a reliable schedule using commercial-grade equipment.
We also offer snow removal in Ankeny during the winter months…see our Ankeny Snow Removal page for details.

Fall is the best time for core aeration in Iowa. The cooler temperatures and fall rains help the lawn recover quickly, and aerating beforeoverseeding gives new seed better soil contact. Spring aeration works too, but fall gets better results for most Ankeny yards.
Pull back a section of turf in a brown patch. If the grass lifts like a loose rug and you see white C-shaped grubs in the soil underneath, that’s grub damage. The fix is faster if you catch it early. Call us at 515-809-0690 and we’ll take a look.
Yes. See our Ankeny Lawn Mowing page for details on our mowing schedule and what’s included in each visit.
