About Matthias Landscaping Co.
Family-owned and serving the Cedar Valley since 1991. Over 30 years of turning outdoor visions into reality across northeast Iowa.
30+ Years of Craftsmanship in the Cedar Valley
Matthias Landscaping Co. was founded in 1991 by Jason Matthias with a straightforward goal: deliver landscaping work of a quality that speaks for itself. What began as a small operation serving homeowners in Waterloo and Cedar Falls has grown into northeast Iowa's premier full-service landscaping company, trusted by residential and commercial clients across 20 cities.
For over three decades, we have built our reputation on meticulous craftsmanship, honest communication, and a genuine commitment to every property we touch. We treat each project as a reflection of our name, and that standard has never changed since day one.
Jason's hands-on approach means that the owner is involved in every phase of your project, from the initial consultation through the final walkthrough. That direct accountability is something you will not find with larger companies or national franchises. When you call Matthias Landscaping, you are talking to the people who will be designing, building, and perfecting your outdoor space.
Delivering Quality That Exceeds Expectations
Our mission is simple: deliver high-quality landscaping services that exceed our clients' expectations, every time. We achieve this through a design-first approach that begins with understanding exactly how you want to use your outdoor space and ends with an installation that matches the vision down to the last detail.
Every Matthias Landscaping project starts with a custom 2D design plan. Before any materials are ordered or equipment arrives on your property, you see a detailed rendering of exactly what your finished landscape will look like. This process eliminates surprises, prevents costly changes mid-project, and ensures that every stone, plant, and lighting fixture is placed with purpose.
We are licensed and insured, and we stand behind every project we complete. Our clients across Waterloo, Cedar Falls, Hudson, Waverly, and the surrounding communities know that when Matthias Landscaping takes on a job, the work will be done right the first time.
The People Behind the Work
Our team brings decades of combined experience to every project. From custom hardscape design to large-scale commercial installations, our leadership ensures that quality and client satisfaction drive every decision.

What Drives Matthias Landscaping
These core values have guided our work since 1991 and continue to shape every project we take on today.
Quality Craftsmanship
Every project receives the same meticulous attention to detail, whether it is a residential patio or a commercial landscaping installation. We never cut corners and we never settle for "good enough." Our work is built to last.
Customer Satisfaction
Your vision drives every project. We listen carefully, communicate clearly throughout the process, and make sure the finished result is exactly what you envisioned. Our 30+ year track record of repeat clients proves our commitment to getting it right.
Tailored Solutions
No two properties are the same, and no two Matthias Landscaping projects are either. Every design is custom-built around your property, your lifestyle, and your budget. We do not use templates or one-size-fits-all approaches.
What Sets Matthias Landscaping Apart
In over three decades of serving northeast Iowa, we have learned that the best landscaping companies are not the ones that work the fastest or offer the cheapest price. They are the ones that take the time to do the job right, communicate honestly with their clients, and stand behind their work long after the last stone is laid.
