Phillip D. Hynek founded Hynek Farms & Landscaping with his two sons, four daughters, wife Cynthia, and only a shovel and a stock trailer.  After the farm crisis in the mid-1980s, Phillip made a transition from farming into the landscaping industry as a means to feed his family. Accustomed to working with his hands, and a passion for playing in the earth’s dirt, Phillip set out to provide the landscaping market with high quality service at a fair price.  From the beginning, Hynek Farms & Landscaping prided itself on its ability to please every customer through personalized service, hard work, and a high standard of excellence. “We grew because customers liked our hard work ethic and honesty,” reminisces Phil. “When we built a wall, we built it to last and our customers appreciated that.”

Since its inception in 1991, Hynek Farms & Landscaping has grown into Hynek Landscaping & Co., a full-service professional landscaping company serving Eastern Iowa in residential and commercial landscaping. Paul, the Hynek family’s youngest son, joined the family business after pursuing a wrestling career and degree in Mathematics from the University of Northern Iowa. Today, numerous members of the Hynek family still work in the family business and it continues to be a proud legacy for every family member.

Paul continues to operate the company on its founding principles: to provide each customer with high quality personalized service, which has attributed to the growth and success of Hynek Landscaping & Co.
