Lighting

Have you ever driven by a beautiful home tastefully lit up at night? There’s something almost magical about well-placed landscape lighting that sets a home apart from the rest. If you’d like to add landscape lighting to your property, the good news is that a little outdoor lighting can go a long way. To create an outdoor lighting plan, it’s best to walk around your property when it’s dark and imagine what areas you’d like to feature. In addition, think about where additional lighting will provide safety for walkways and security for your home.

Landscaping & Hardscaping FAQs

Landscaping refers to the living elements of your outdoor space — plants, trees, shrubs, turf, and gardens — while hardscaping covers the hard, built features like patios, walkways, retaining walls, fire pits, and driveways. A great outdoor living area balances both, and 4T Total Lawn designs and installs landscaping and hardscaping together so your Kansas City property looks cohesive, functional, and beautiful.

Hardscape pricing in the Kansas City metro varies widely based on the size, materials, and complexity of the project, from a simple paver walkway to a full patio with a retaining wall and fire feature.

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.
