Fall Is For Planting – Landscape & Xeriscape Now!

Jul 23, 2011

Be smart and save money by planting now! You can receive a sweet deal because Custom Lawn needs to keep our landscape crews busy during this slow season AND most plant material is on sale. We can also help you Go Green because we can save you water and money with Xeriscaping. Since drought conditions are always a possibility in the Johnson County area, it makes good environmental sense to be prepared for dry weather. Xeriscaping is a method of landscaping that promotes water conservation through the following principles:

• Planning and design – deciding which plants to keep or add based on your planned landscape’s functions.

• Soil analysis – to determine if soil amendments are necessary for healthy plant growth.

• Practical turf areas – selecting turf according to its use, location and care requirements.

• Appropriate plant selection – ensuring that all plants will grow well in your region.

• Efficient irrigation – making sure that most of the water you apply gets to your plants’ root systems.

• Use of mulch – helps soil to retain moisture and keeps soil temperatures more even.

• Appropriate maintenance – determined by the kinds of plants you select.

Make an appointment today for a FREE consultation with our Landscape Designer. We’ll be happy to help you with ideas and solutions for low-maintenance, water-efficient landscaping. From Lenexa to Shawnee, we serve all of Johnson County, KS.

    I highly recommend Custom Lawn & Landscape. I am a very satisfied customer of Custom Lawn & Landscape for over 20 years. They always provide me with honest and great service at a competitive price. Tom came to my house today for a service call and went above and beyond for me. I very much appreciate the excellent service that Tom provided to me today.

    Custom Lawn's knowledgeable sprinkler team of Jason & Rene' recently installed a new drip line system to our front/side landscape. The project was bid and completed in an expert and timely manner, we will call on them again if future needs arise.

    We have been using Custom Lawn & Landscape for over five years now and have always had great experiences. By far, the best in the area. I recently had the pleasure of having Jason Greenlee assist me with a repair and to get his opinion on another issue. He was INCREDIBLE and super helpful! Great experiences like this is why I won't be going anywhere else for my lawn and landscape needs!

    2024 Update:
    Yet again, Jason comes in clutch. This time I had an actual irrigation "emergency" and he immediately knew what to do when he saw it. He also spent the time to educate me on why the issue occurred and made suggestions for the future. I honestly don't know how this guy doesn't run his own operation by now. He's a gem.
    ---------------
    2023 Update:
    I wrote my first review a year ago and I just wanted to come back online and give an update. I've continued using this company and wouldn't dream of going to anyone else. Jason, once again, was truly the best. He's beyond knowledgeable and wants what's best for each of his customers. I really appreciate the time he spends talking through everything before, during and after the service. 10/10 would recommend...still.

    2022 REVIEW:
    I have been searching for a good company to become my go-to irrigation folks and I've 100% found it in Custom Lawn & Landscape. Setting up my appointment through Billy was super easy and he listened to my concerns about a previous experience with another company. He assured me that I would get the best by choosing CL&L.
    They gave me plenty of heads up for my appointment window and Jason G. (the Irrigation Dept. Manager) showed up right on time. He was super kind and very educational. I like to learn and he was all about explaining everything in detail. He found a couple things that were causing issues and after getting my approval, he quickly handled the repair right then and there. He also priced a new controller for me so I could go ahead and start saving up for it as mine is quite a dinosaur!
    I'll definitely continue to use this company for my irrigation needs! I highly recommend them. Bring on summer! Thanks again Jason!

    I had Custom Lawn out for a sprinkler repair in June. After rebuilding a valve, it wasn't working again a few weeks later. I called my guy, Jason, and he came out no charge and rewired the zone. No company is perfect. I appreciate the prompt service to make it right.
    Jake Sweatman
    They are the most reliable, professional, and responsive company I think I have ever interacted with.
    William Carriger
    Had Jason come out today. Really took his time to resolve the issue. Spent hours making sure that it was right and everything was working smooth. Can't say enough about how detailed his work was and clean up after work was done. Really made the effort to make sure all issues were resolved. Highly recommend Custom Lawn & Landscaping Co. Highly recommend their sprinkler system technician Jason!!
    Pat Carroll
    I would like to thank Jason with custom lawn & landscape he really took care of us every time I have called they take care of us and really do an awesome job I can’t thank them enough I would recommend custom lawn & landscape they are great people
    Mike Smith
    Seth at Custom Lawn does an awesome job for us! Thank you Seth!
    Steve Fuller
    We've used Custom Lawn for lawn care and aeration for about five years with great results. It's great having the same technician year round. We just had them install a sprinkler system (in a yard filled with large rocks)--Tim, Jason and the rest of the crew were great. After the install the aeration crew filled in the voids (because of the rock removal) with high-quality top soil. We're were pleased with their service as always, and will continue recommending them .

    Update fours later--still very happy with their service. Cole for lawn applications and Jason for irrigation changes.

    Seth has been providing the fertilizer treatments for my lawn for several years now. The lawn looks great - deep green and full. He is careful with the treatments to minimize overspray. He always lets me know a day in advance when he is coming.
    Jodi Pochert
    Thank you, Seth, for doing such a great job for us!

    I have been using Custom Lawn and Landscape for 2 years. Seth, my technician, has done a great job bringing my lawn back to life. Custom's prices are reasonable and the service is great.

    Seth is simply the best! He is wonderful to partner with, gives solid advice and solutions for our yard. If it weren’t for him, our yard would look as beautiful as it does. His customer service is truly off the charts exceptional.
    Earle Evans
    Seth always does an amazing job of caring for our lawn as if it was his own. The post-visit updates are always informative and if/when he sees that something might be starting to develop, he proactively communicates that before it becomes a problem. He's a great ambassador for Custom.
    Nathan Gilbert
    Seth always does a great job with my lawn. He is always flexible if I need to reschedule and lets me know personally when he is coming out or if he sees something needing attention.

    Thanks Seth!
    Zach Davidson
    Best part is that Customs lawn care program is cheaper than the package you get from the local nurseries. And Seth and Sean care about my yard almost as much as I do! They tailored my treatments to my soil samples and not I have the best yard in the neighborhood!! Team Custom Lawn for the win!!
    Andrew James
    Rene helped complete our spring sprinkler commissioning and fixed some leaks in our sprinkler system. He did a fantastic job, was very helpful at walking through the issues and solution, and he was very responsive to quickly come back out to fix the leaks. I would highly recommend him and his service!

    We have had lawn care provided for several years by Custom Lawn. No one does a better job with weekly mowing, trimming and edging than Samuel and his father. Consistently excellent. Jason is our go to guy for anything related to our sprinkler system. We recently had Mike, Romero, and Jesus install our spring mulch in all our landscape beds and they worked into the evening to make everything look just right. Great team.

    I just had a terrific experience with Tom. He went above and beyond to help with our issues, save us money and teach us how our system works. And I feel like the prices are very reasonable, so that's a bonus!!

    Jason was great!

    The crew from Custom Lawns & Landscaping did a great job planting, mulching and repositioning our soakers in our backyard island. Inclement weather did not prevent them from completing the job. Thanks.

    Sara has helped me everytime I call. She is so good to communicate our needs to Samuel and his team who do a nice job with our lawn.
    Laura Zook
    We have used Custom Lawn & Landscape for a few years now and they really are a wonderful company. The mowers do a really nice job and clean up is top notch. We have hired them for other services and have no complaints. Their people are friendly, professional and show up when they say they will. Everyone in the office I have spoken with are always lovely and helpful but I have to give a shout out to Troy. He has worn a lot of hats through Custom Lawn and is a standout to us because of his incredible lawn care knowledge and friendly nature. You can tell he cares about the customers and does not hesitate to explain things or address any questions or concerns. It is nice to always hear a friendly voice when you call in and that makes a huge difference. I highly recommend this company. You will not regret it. :)
    I had to update my review to include a good experience I had talking with Sam in their pest control department. He was very nice to talk to and answered all of my questions with a lot of knowledge behind his answers. He offered me different options and really worked to offer the best price possible. Thank you, Sam!

    Chad was thorough, cheerful and completed our sprinkler system setup so it is ready to go! He is highly qualified for challenging jobs! I highly recommend Custom Lawn and Landscape!
    Ali Lotia
    I cannot recommend Jason @ Custom Lawn & Landscape enough! He has been working on our annual sprinkler on/off for the last 5 years. He doesn't just turn the system on/off but takes the time to walk you thru and gives that extra service most people in the industry don't. Five stars all the way for Jason & Custom Lawn-Landscape
