Why Choose Creekside?

Branch with light gray leaves.

Hi, I’m the owner and operator of Creekside Land Management. I grew up on a hobby farm in northwest Iowa as one of nine siblings, spending my youth hunting, fishing, and enjoying the outdoors. After years working in construction, I made the leap to start a business that aligned with my passion for the land—and allowed me to solve problems I kept seeing:


👉 Cedars choking out pastures.
👉 Erosion damaging good ground.
👉 Habitat vanishing before our eyes.


I started Creekside to make a difference—for the land, for wildlife, and for landowners like you.

We may be a young company, but we make up for it with hard work, high standards, and strong values. You’ll get honest communication, safe practices, fast estimates, and work done right—or we’ll make it right.
