Nixon Lawn Care

About Us

Nixon Lawn Care was founded in 2020 by owner Fred Nixon, but the story began long before that. Fred started working alongside his dad for a property management company, where he learned the lawn care and landscaping business from the ground up. Through years of hands-on experience, he gained a deep understanding of what it takes to properly maintain commercial properties—learning not just how to do the work, but how to do it right.

With over 20 years of experience servicing commercial properties, Fred decided to take the next step and build something of his own. That vision became Nixon Lawn Care, a family-owned-and-operated company based in Johnston, IA, that proudly serves the surrounding communities. Today, we specialize in commercial, apartment, and residential lawn care, offering everything from routine maintenance and precise chemical applications to dependable snow removal during Iowa’s toughest winters.

What sets Nixon Lawn Care apart is our hands-on approach and personal service. When you work with us, you’re not just another account—you’re working directly with the owner. Fred is personally involved in every aspect of the business, ensuring the same quality, reliability, and attention to detail you'd expect from a large company with the responsiveness and accountability only a local owner-operated business can provide.

We offer select service packages as well as custom-built plans designed to meet the specific needs of your property. Our hassle-free contracts with no auto-renewals give you flexibility and peace of mind, while our experienced team delivers consistent results you can count on. At Nixon Lawn Care, our goal is simple: provide professional, dependable service that keeps your property looking its best—and build lasting relationships through quality work and honest communication.
