How do I pick the right plants for this location?

Start with the specifics of your lawn. When you come in, we’ll ask you questions like how much sun different areas get? How much space do you have? How wet does it stay after rain or watering? At our lawn and garden center in Lee’s Summit, we’ll guide you to shrubs, trees, and perennials that thrive in local conditions. Planting under oaks? Brightening a shady corner? Browse our nursery stock page for options, then you can get some of Uncle’s lawn tips to learn how to plant trees and shrubs.

Learn a Bit About Our History

Grass Pad began on a 700-acre sod farm with no frills—just great grass and a simple plan. Uncle’s Idiot Proof Lawn Care Program turned heads, and word spread fast. Decades later (60+ years), we’re still growing strong with 6 locations. We’ve got dirt on our shoes, and grass always on our minds.
