Landscape design and installation, mulch and rock, sod, tree and shrub trimming and planting, lawn and garden maintenance, core aeration, and spring and fall cleanups — plus the hardscaping side: paver patios and walkways, retaining walls and natural stone borders. If it is outside the house and it is not a roof, it is probably us.

Yes, and they are usually the same job. A bed is not finished until it has an edge, and a patio is not finished until there is planting around it. Paver patios and walkways, retaining walls, decorative and river rock, and set stone borders are all in-house.

Always. We come out, walk the property with you, and give you a price. No charge and no obligation, and you will get a straight answer about what a job actually needs rather than a number for the biggest version of it.

We work about a 30-mile radius of Blue Springs, which covers 64 communities across 10 counties in Missouri and Kansas. That reaches about forty miles at the far edges — Concordia to the east, Plattsburg to the north, Eudora to the west and Harrisonville to the south are roughly the limits. Everything in between, including Kansas City, Independence, Lee’s Summit, Overland Park and Olathe, is inside it. If you are not sure whether we reach you, call and ask.

Nick’s Outdoor Services is a registered Missouri LLC and carries liability insurance. We are happy to provide a certificate before work starts — just ask when you book.

Deliberately, because it decides most of what works here. Clay compacts and sheds water, so lawns get core-aerated rather than just fertilized, beds get built to drain rather than dug into a bowl, retaining walls get real drainage stone behind them, and patios get a base compacted in lifts. Skipping that is why so much landscaping in this metro moves after one winter.

Fall is the best planting, sodding, aerating and overseeding window in Kansas City, and spring is the busiest for cleanups, mulch and bed resets. Hardscaping runs any time the ground is workable and not saturated. If your project is time-sensitive, the honest answer is that fall bookings should be made in late summer.

No. Mowing is not a service we offer. We look after beds, borders, shrubs, mulch and stone, aeration, and the spring and fall clean-ups — and plenty of our customers keep a separate mowing contractor alongside us. We would rather tell you plainly than take the booking and disappoint you.

No. Small and ornamental trees and shrubs only, worked from the ground. Anything large, or anything overhanging a house, fence, power line or a neighboring property, needs a climber and a crane and belongs with a licensed tree service.

Both. A single spring cleanup, one mulch job or one patio is completely normal and plenty of our work is exactly that. Recurring maintenance is available if you would rather the yard never get away from you.

Not at this time. Our winter work is the fall cleanup and winterization that happens before the snow.

Call (816) 813-3543 or send the form on our contact page. We are reachable Monday–Saturday, 7:00 am – 7:00 pm, and you will hear back from Nick rather than a call center.
