From our home base in Lenexa, our team of experienced, licensed lawn care and irrigation professionals helps homeowners and businesses grow healthier, greener properties through full-service lawn care, landscaping and hardscaping, sprinkler installation and repair, and plant and turf health programs. Everything we publish comes straight from the field. Our technicians are trained in local soil conditions, cool-season grasses like fescue, seasonal disease and pest pressures, and the watering and fertilization schedules that actually work in our Midwest climate. When we share advice on this blog, it reflects real jobs we've completed for real customers throughout Lenexa, Overland Park, Olathe, and the surrounding communities. We're proud to be a locally owned, family-operated company built on decades of hands-on experience and repeat customers who trust us with their properties year after year.

Rhett Burk

Landscape/Hardscape Project Manager

Rhett started his career in the green industry 24 years ago as a department manager at a large local nursery. From there he quickly found his passion for landscape design and installation. Since then he has filled the roles of laborer, crew lead, foreman, project manager, and designer, as the need arose. As Landscape and Hardscape Project Manager for 4T, his knowledge, experience, and passion for creating beautiful and lasting outdoor spaces make him an excellent resource.

Rhett approaches each project with an eye towards the customer’s own style and preference first, and seeks to find a perfect balance between their wants and needs, as well as how the project looks and functions today and for years to come.

Rhett enjoys indoor and outdoor gardening, woodworking, and being in nature when his free time allows.

Jeff Hammons

Account Manager

Jeff started out like many; mowing grass & doing odd jobs for the neighbors. He began his professional career and has grown up in the 4T Total Lawn ‘family’. Now with 30 years of service in the ‘Green Industry’ he still strives to keep the same mindset & attitude he learned at an early age. Lessons that included fostering a company with quality services & workmanship, professionalism and that provides a good, honest day’s work. Jeff has been married to his wife, Brooke, since 2000 and they have a daughter, Rowan, who came along in 2008.

Jeff spends his spare time working on this, that or the other, volunteering, and supporting his daughter in volleyball, soccer and other activities, pretty much anything to get OUTDOORS!

Joel Beaver

Founder/President/Owner

He has been at 4T for 48 years. 4T provides year-round grounds maintenance that exceeds clients’ expectations, some which have been clients for 40 years. He started mowing neighbors’ lawns when he was 11 years old for money to buy a new bike. He has stayed in the business because he loves the outdoors and seeing their clients’ dreams come to life either through landscape/hardscape projects or just keeping their properties looking amazing. 4T has donated equipment and staff to the MAGIC council’s (now Midwest Landscape Professionals) Certification training. He is currently the chairman of his church’s house and grounds committee.

His favorite part about his job is seeing the beauty in our work when the project is completed or how a client’s property looks every time he goes by it. He also loves seeing his dedicated staff grow in knowledge, experience, and client relations. He runs his business with a family atmosphere where everyone is important and treated equally. His priorities are building strong relationships based on trustworthiness, caring, and diligence. He is blessed to have a wonderful family, his wife Patti of 42 years, a son and a daughter and a granddaughter who is absolutely amazing.
