When spring arrives, you want to make sure that your lawn looks bright, fresh, and clean like the rest of your home. It’s time to get outside, enjoy the warmer weather, and clean up your yard. These spring cleaning tips for your lawn will help it look its best this season and all throughout the year.Kansas City Custom Lawn and Landscaping Tree Pruning

Take Care of Pruning

If you didn’t take care of pruning last fall, it’s important to take care of pruning early in the season to ensure that you’ll get plenty of healthy growth throughout the warm months. Not only that, pruning early gives you more control over where trees and shrubs will grow. Be careful not to prune any varieties that bloom on new spring wood or you may accidentally limit your spring flower show.

Don’t Let Those Leaves Linger

If you have any leaves lingering from fall, it’s time to make them disappear. Fallen leaves aren’t just an eyesore as you move into spring. If they’re still hanging around, they can kill your grass before it’s able to grow! Turn those leaves into mulch, or bag them up and get rid of them as soon as possible.

Mulch is the finishing touch for your flower beds and gardens! A solid layer of mulch can help retain moisture and keep weeds at bay. Start early in the spring and your yard will look its best all season long.

    Chad was great 👍
    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. Always thorough and detailed.
    Robby was an excellent worker, very knowledgeable, and fun to converse with. I'll ask for him again!
    We highly recommend Custom Lawn and Landscape, and Shawn specifically, for lawn care - he does a great job and keeps our yard looking very nice!
    Shawn worked with us for a workable service date and performed as agreed.
    Custom came out to mulch a few landscaping beds and Christian did a great job, he cleaned up the beds and everything looked good when he was done. About a year ago I decided to simplify the maintenance around the yard. I had three different companies handling things. I chose to have Custom handle everything and Christian again showed it to be the right choice
    Did a really good job!

    We have been using Custom Lawn and Landscape for several years! We are very happy with their service, especially with Cole's attention to detail and thorough way he advises us on what to do next with our lawn. I highly recommend them for an easy way to have your lawn looked after with annual fertilization, weed kill, and other applications throughout the season.
    excellent communication and service!!
    Conor Rutherford with Custom Lawn and Landscape has given me excellent customer service. He let me know by emails and texts specifically what lawn application he would be doing and what date he would do it. He worked with me when I had a concern about the time he was going to do it. I received a summary report after the application was done and instructions for what I should do. His customer service this year has exceeded my expectations and I know I can always contact him directly if I need something later.

    Shawn has always performed great service with our Lawn …. I get many compliments from our neighbors. He always lets me know in advance he is coming & after he has completed his treatment.
    Definitely recommend Shawn.
    They always let us know when they're coming and give a nice report on the lawn status. Definitely makes the yard a lot better than the years when we did nothing or tried to do it ourselves.
    Shawn did a thorough job of spraying our lawn!
    We’ve been using Custom Lawn for years and have been happy with their service. Zach did a great job inspecting and adjusting our sprinkler system. He took time to make sure all areas of the lawn were covered, and he even found a couple of sprinklers that were overgrown and not raising. He was very helpful and knowledgeable.
    Robby was an excellent worker, very knowledgeable, and fun to converse with. I'll ask for him again!
    For spring 2026, I chose a new company to set my sprinklers. Custom lawn & landscape sent Chad Wallace. Chad took care of me. He called to let me know he was on his way. He addressed one head that was no longer needed due to some deck work. And he smiled. Thank you Chad.
    They are professional and do a great job
    Shawn did a great job of helping me understand the process of the custom green lawn program I signed up for. My lawn looks great and I’m really happy with Shawn!
    Chad has kept my very old lake-based sprinkler system running consistently and in good shape for 5 years. He is knowledgeable, conscientious, and a good problem solver. He is also pleasant and seems to get joy from a job well done.
