From ornamental trees that anchor your landscape to hardy shrubs that define walkways, we make your yard feel polished and welcoming.

Shrubs and Trees That Fit Your Property—and Your Goals

No two yards in Cedar Rapids are alike, which is why we customize every planting plan. We consider soil type, drainage, sun exposure, and long-term growth to make sure your investment lasts.

Whether you want evergreen hedges, colorful flowering shrubs, or shade trees that mature with your home, we match every selection to your lifestyle.

SHRUB & TREE PLANTING SERVICES

Adding trees and shrubs is one of the best ways to increase property value and create a balanced, vibrant yard.

Whether you’re enhancing your front curb appeal, defining a backyard space, or replacing aging plantings, our team designs and installs with long-term growth and sustainability in mind.

We prepare planting beds, enrich the soil, and set each root system for success—so your greenery grows strong, healthy, and properly spaced.

Common solutions include:

  • Decorative shrubs for entryways and walkways

  • Evergreen hedges for year-round privacy

  • Ornamental trees for seasonal color and shade

  • Shrub groupings for borders and natural barriers

We also handle removal of unhealthy or overgrown shrubs and trees, ensuring your new plantings have the room they need to flourish.

Enhance Curb Appeal—and Your Outdoor Lifestyle

Trees and shrubs aren’t just decoration—they shape how you use your yard. From a line of trees that shields wind and noise to shrubs that create structure around patios and driveways, plantings make your space more enjoyable and more valuable.

Every installation is done with future growth in mind, so your landscape looks good now and matures beautifully in the years ahead.

A Smarter Way to Plant

Planting may look simple, but long-term success depends on soil prep, spacing, and ongoing care.

At Lee’s Lawn & Landscaping, we plan with purpose—choosing plants that thrive in Iowa’s climate, resist common pests, and fit the space without overcrowding.

The result: fewer headaches, stronger growth, and a yard that works with nature instead of against it.

What Clients Are Saying

5 Stars
Lee's did an amazing job with our front and backyard landscaping! They were so great to work with. They came the day before to go over everything with us to make sure it was what we wanted. They showed us how things were going and made sure we liked what they were doing multiple times throughout the process. Our yard has truly never looked better. Would give more than 5 stars if we could!
