Left side lawn care provides exception service and the pictures speak for themselves. My lawn had been invaded by army works and it was down for the count. Caleb’s expertise is top notch and he knew just what to get rid of them and get my lawn headed back in the right direction. Caleb’s communication is great and if you’re a lawn enthusiast like myself he always makes me aware of when and what is being applied. If you want a lawn that looks like a golf course, Caleb at left side lawn care is your guy!

Left Side Lawn Care did a great job on my lawn. Could get grass to grow in certain spots for years. Caleb got it figured out the first year I hired him.

Caleb is so helpful and professional! He is consistent in providing services and extremely fair in price. He always sends follow up emails with info on what he did and recommendations for our particular yard. Several people recommended him to me, and I can see why they did! Highly recommended.

Mr. Gettle with left side is the guy that actually still takes pride in his work and takes care of his customers. These companies are hard to come by these days. Caleb has answered all my questions about lawn care, guided me in the right direction for other lawn aspects, and helped me knowing what steps to take next to have the best looking lawn in my neighborhood. Highly recommend this company!!

Very pleased with my first year having Left Side Lawn Care getting my lawn back in order!!! After using a previous service and having 2 large dogs, our yard was horrible!! Caleb met with me, explained the process and that it would take a couple years to fix the damage, I’m very impressed how well it recovered in just one season! Can’t wait for next year! From the aeration, fertilizer, weed control and grass seed, I felt it was very personalized for our lawn. I highly recommend Left Side and it’s a local company!!!!

Caleb started caring for our lawn last summer. He did several applications then suggested that we aerate and seed our lawn in the fall. Our yard this year is lush and green. We have had our lawn serviced by another company and it never looked this good. Caleb uses natural treatments for lawns. His prices are very reasonable. I definitely recommend Caleb to treat your lawn.

I am HUGE on "I'm not paying someone to do it, I'll figure it out" but some things you just have to leave the the pros. To Left Side Lawn Care, I turned over my grass. I was tired of being the ugly lawn on the block. I reached out to Caleb at Left Side to help me get that green grass we all dream of.Caleb was honest. This wasn't going to happen over a single summer. He said it would take 2 years. Boy was he right! 2 years later, my grass looks amazing! He knows the exact chemicals to use, and when to use them. He even got on me about watering my lawn when I was slacking. To say he cared is a huge understatement.Long story short, you will not find service like this, at the value for your money that he provides. Highly, highly reccomend! Thanks Caleb!

When we moved into our house in February last year, we had no idea how bad our yard was. Last spring I called Caleb at Left Side Lawn Care. He came right out. With just 1 season of treatment and he aerated and seeded last fall, our lawn is looking so good. I love the fact that I can walk in the yard and the grass doesn't hurt my feet. Thanks Caleb!

Caleb is great! He is very responsive and wants to make sure his customers are happy. This is the first time I've ever hired anyone to fertilize my yard. I am very particular and want my yard to look good. Caleb did not disappoint! Even with the drought we had this year, my yard stayed in good shape. You can tell Caleb cares about his customers and his business. He takes time to answer questions and I could tell he knew what the lawn needed. I would recommend Left Side Lawn Care to anyone needing his services.

Caleb quite obviously takes great pride in his business and it shows with the wealth of knowledge he brings, which in turn he uses to understand your lawn and the products he applies to the turf!!!His communication, customer service, and fair pricing is second to none and I would HIGHLY recommend Caleb to anyone!!!

I had new sod placed by another business. We didn't receive instructions about how much to water or when and the sod was in bad condition when we discovered Caleb. He was professional, non-disparaging of the other business, and was able to save the sod through clear instructions for us and through the treatments he offered. We are so relieved that we didn't lose the whole yard! We will continue to use this business indefinitely for everything grass-related!

Caleb is the owner and installer. So you get to work directly with the person who comes and takes care of your yard. He is very personable and knowledgeable. He worked on my yard all season and it has never looked this good! I will have him back next year.

We started using Left Side this year. We have used a number of different companies in the Cedar Valley to do our lawn care, and we have tried to do it ourselves. We have dogs, and board dogs so to say that our yard takes a lot of abuse is an understatement. Within one year of working with Caleb, our lawn is looking the best it ever has. Caleb takes the time to listen to what your issues and needs are and works to find solutions to meet those needs. He has cutting edge equipment that no else around has. You will not be disappointed if you choose to work with Left Side Lawn Care.

I started using Left Side Lawn Care last year after years of not being able to get my lawn under control on my own. I couldn't believe how much progress there were able to make in such a short time! Thank you!!

I started using Caleb in 2020 simply because I was tired of "doing my own" weed and pest control. By the end of the first summer my lawn looked better than I was EVER able to get it!! The lack of creeping charlie being the most noticeable difference! I love that he is super knowledgeable and sensitive to being good stewards of the earth. I highly recommend his services!!

We started using Left Side just over 2 years ago because our lawn was thin, had dead spots and tons of weeds. Caleb had loads of knowledge and information to share, but I didn't know what half of it meant so I just told him to do his thing. In just the first year we noticed how few weeds we had and our grass was growing in twice as thick. Last year our lawn was put to the test because of no rain and it held up better than anyone we knew! We receive compliments from every visitor we have and I honestly couldn't be happier with how perfect it looks. There's no question Caleb will be the only one taking care of our lawn for years and years to come.

We were new to the Cedar Valley area and hired Left Side Lawn Care to do their 6 step application for our lawn after we bought our house. We have been extremely happy so far with all of the treatments as well as the customer service provided by the company. You can tell the owner is truly passionate about lawn maintenance and he provides an excellent service at an exceptional cost. I highly recommend going with them for any current or future lawn care services!

We contacted LSLC this Spring to see how much it would cost to control our creeping charlie issue. In Summer's past, the creeping charlie has taken over about 75% of our backyard and we just wanted lush green grass to walk in. Caleb responded right away to my email and was out that same week to look over our yard and talk about pricing and programs to treat it. I appreciate his communication letting us know when he will be out next and payment is easy. Our yard has never looked better since Caleb has treated it and given us tips on what we can do as homeowners to help our grass grow! The creeping charlie is practically gone!! Highly recommend his services and feel that he offers his services at a great price as well! I am so happy we reached out to him!

More About Caleb
As someone who has an extensive background in farming, I believe that the foundation of turf management issues and solutions lies in our soils. I have always prioritized generational sustainability and our purpose. With over 15 years of experience, I consider myself an artisan, and I see each lawn as a blank canvas.
My approach focuses on using high-quality fertilizers, promoting soil health, and creating a well-balanced soil environment for thriving turf. I emphasize the importance of phosphate and calcium to chelate nutrients, facilitating grass growth, weed suppression, and natural immunity against common lawn fungi like brown patch, summer patch, and dollar spot, which are frequently found in Iowa lawns.
Turf serves a purpose beyond aesthetics, contributing to oxygen production, providing a cooling effect in hot weather, and aiding in rainwater filtration. To discuss a lawn care plan tailored to you, your family, and even pet-friendly alternatives, feel free to reach out to Caleb at Left Side Lawn Care when you’re ready to transform your canvas.
I strongly believe that we are responsible for preserving our environment, and it all begins here. Let’s continue to strive for excellence in the ordinary!
