4T was outstanding (a quality difficult to find these days!). Rhett, the project manager, handled our large retaining wall project from concept to completion. He understands customer service and we couldn't be more satisfied with his professionalism and knowledge. We would not hesitate to recommend Rhett and 4T Lawn! Service: Landscape design

4T Total Lawn provides a full service lawn and landscape program for our senior living community in OverlandPark. They are pros at what they do! First, they do what they say and do it on time. Second, they welcome extra jobs and projects; always working them in to the busy schedule timely. Third, they are flexible when I need them to be and work around our events schedule. Bottomline, my experience with them has been 100% positive and I no longer worry about my property. It always looks sharp! 4T Total Lawn is a true partner for our business.

4-T Total Lawn far exceeded expectations of our commercial landscape/hardscape project - from the initial consultation with Wendy to the concept, design, execution, and final walk-thru with Doug. The project was on time AND budget! There is not enough praise I could give regarding the experience. Doug Yantz is genuine. His character and integrity make ME want to be a better person. No shovel leaning with these guys, so a big shout out to Antonio C. - Project Manager, Rhet B. - Crew Lead and the entire dedicated crew who showed up everyday rain or shine.
They work HARD! They even brought in a sweeper machine to clean up every afternoon. After hours, you hardly could tell they were here (except all the progress around the property). Thank you for our beautiful landscaping, especially the gorgeous natural stone patio specially designed to accommodate the curves and layout of new picnic tables. Well done, 4-T Total Lawn; well done, indeed! Deborah Jones B.F. Ascher & Company, Inc., Lenexa, KS

Cannot say enough good things about this landscape company. They just finished a complete remodel on our landscaping around our home. Finally, a contractor that does what they say they will do! They were on time, hard workers, efficient, and listened to us! Doug Yanez went above and beyond with communication. Highly recommend!

4T Total LawnCare did a fabulous job on my patio. Doug offered great suggestions to improve what I had in mind. He was respectful, friendly, and professional. Doug was concerned about a water issue and offered a resolution that was visually appealing. He kept me informed throughout the project which I greatly appreciated and was patient with my many questions. The installers are meticulously detailed. I highly recommend 4T Total LawnCare and will hire them again for more work.
