Our Story

At DeRocher’s Lawn Salon, we believe a lawn is more than just grass, it’s the first impression of a home.
It reflects pride, care, and craftsmanship. That belief is what drives everything we do whether we’re mowing a yard or transforming a full landscape.

Founded in Kansas City by Chaz DeRocher, our locally owned business grew from humble beginnings and a bold dream. Chaz started mowing lawns at just 14 years old, and he never stopped. Raised in a small Iowa town with fewer than 2,000 people, he had every odd stacked against him but he also had grit, discipline, and a dream that refused to quit.

His father, a full-time mechanic, and his mother, a bakery manager, both juggled multiple jobs just to keep the family afloat. Watching them work 2–3 jobs taught Chaz something that’s stuck with him ever since: nothing in life comes easy but if you want it bad enough and work for it, anything is possible.

From a young age, Chaz poured his energy into dirt bike racing and wrestling, sports that demanded discipline, focus, and resilience. He raced competitively, even landing in a few local newspaper as a child. But while his name was printed in ink, it was the behind-the-scenes work ethic that truly defined him.

With few role models, it was his grandmother who gave him the words that lit the fire:
“Love what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life.”
Her passing in 2023 only made that message more meaningful and more motivating.

By 18, Chaz wasn’t just mowing lawns, he was building a future. Even a life-changing accident couldn’t stop him, it simply sharpened his focus. In March 2025, after years of hands-on experience and unwavering determination, he launched DeRocher’s Lawn Salon as the sole owner. With support from his fiancée Katie, who now leads Client Services, his vision became a business rooted in values, quality, and pride.

Chaz treats every property like it’s his own. As a business owner, stepdad, and someone committed to breaking generational curses and building generational wealth, he understands what it means to create something that lasts.

Whether it's meticulous mowing, detailed edging, seasonal cleanups, or full-scale landscape enhancements, DeRocher’s Lawn Salon is here to raise the standard. We don’t just cut grass or lay mulch, we design and maintain outdoor spaces where families gather, grow, and make lasting memories.
