Residential and commercial mowing. Your grass cut to the right height for health and curb appeal, every time.
Plow trucks, snow blowers, shoveling, de-icing, salt, and sanding. Residential and commercial properties.

Proper grading eliminates low spots and improves drainage. Plus mulching, tree planting, fire pit installation, and more.
Proactive tree health care including emerald ash borer treatment before your ash trees are at risk.
Gravel, sand, mulch, fill dirt, and black dirt delivered for any project. We have the trucks and equipment to handle it.
Seasonal fertilization, core aeration, dethatching, and broadleaf control to keep your lawn healthy year-round.

Our Story
Schwinger Lawn Service started as a small family operation in Stuart, Iowa -- a way for Larry and Jolene Schwinger to serve the community and pass a strong work ethic to their son. That son, John Schwinger, now owns and operates the business.
"John is well known for many miles around Stuart for his abilities. He's dependable, reliable, safety conscious, and very experienced." — Fran Young, Good Neighbor Review
Over 30 years later, Schwinger Lawn Service has grown into a full-service lawn, tree, and snow operation serving Stuart and surrounding Iowa communities. In 2013 we added a dedicated Tree Division through our sister company SLS Tree Management -- fully insured tree trimming, removal, stump grinding, storm cleanup, and tree health services. Same great team, same commitment to quality.
