Kansas City’s Lawns and Landscapes will benefit dramatically if you know how to properly water them. There is no other homeowner controlled aspect of caring for your plants more critical than proper irrigation. It is also the number one mistake I see Kansas City homeowners doing

It is essential to first understand what your plants want [...]]]></description>

Rain Gardens can be a great way to solve landscaping problems in Kansas City.  landscapers can use them to effectively deal with drainage issues that have been plaguing homeowners for years and are often  better solution than simply sending the water further down the hill to the neighbors yard.
Here is a concept rendering for a [...]]]></description>

This is on of my favorite trees to plant in Kansas City.  &#8216;Emperor I&#8217; is very similar to &#8216;Bloodgood&#8217; in growth habit, although this tree has a lighter almost translucent quality to the leaves. It holds its red color well throughout the summer months, and has a brilliant crimson fall display. It grows to about [...]]]></description>

Clover is a common weed in Kansas City Lawns.  It spreads rapidly by stolons or above ground roots structures.  The plant takes root from the stolons at nodes along the stems when they come in contact with the soil. Clover is one of the most easily identified of the common weeds in Kansas City.  It [...]]]></description>

Landscapes in Kansas City will soon be hitting the deep freeze.   Well, maybe not the deep freeze.  However even with temperatures reaching down into upper 20&#8217;s &#8212; it is important to have all the information necessary.
First of all this is not at all like the freeze of 2007 &#8212; although the dates are not [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s hard to believe that the killing April freeze of 2007 was one year ago today in Kansas City. It devastated so much of Kansas City landscaping.
