Q&A

My lawn in Springfield has patchy, dry spots. Could this be a sprinkler issue, and can you help?

Absolutely. Gaps in sprinkler coverage are a common issue for Springfield lawns, especially with our clay soils and seasonal shifts. Our team provides comprehensive irrigation services, from design and installation to repair and maintenance. We can assess your current system, identify coverage gaps or broken heads, and implement a solution—whether it's a targeted repair or a new, efficient design—to ensure your entire lawn gets the water it needs to stay healthy.

Do you handle both landscape design and the actual construction?

Yes, we provide a complete start-to-finish service. Our process begins with a collaborative design consultation to understand your vision for patios, walkways, retaining walls, or full yard transformations. Then, our experienced construction crew, led by our landscaper with over 30 years in the field, handles the precise installation. This integrated approach means your project is managed by one trusted, local team from the initial idea to the final walk-through.

We have a large tree with surface roots damaging our lawn. What are our options?

Tree roots causing lawn damage is a frequent challenge in Springfield. We offer a few solutions tailored to your tree's health and your goals. For a living tree, we can discuss careful root pruning or redesigning the landscape around it with shade-tolerant ground cover or mulch beds. If removal is necessary, our licensed team can safely remove the tree and grind the stump, followed by grading and re-sodding the area to restore a lush, level lawn.

Company Background

The Lawn Service, LLC began in 2015 as a simple lawn care operation, founded by Terry Rucker who loved the satisfaction of a freshly cut lawn. In its second year, Terry partnered with William ""Bubba,"" a landscaper with over 30 years of experience, to expand into full-scale landscaping. Now in its fourth year, this licensed and insured, family-owned Springfield company has grown from one mower to a dedicated team of full and part-time employees. While landscape construction and design have become their primary focus, they remain committed to the lawn care roots that started it all. Terry, William, and their crew take pride in transforming outdoor spaces and offer free, detailed bids to help local homeowners love their lawns.
