What are we doing?
As an earthworks crew, our days are usually filled with moving dirt, shaping land, and building and building solid ground to build on. But every now and then, we take a moment to bring a little more joy into the world.
This summer, we launched a program that takes us back to our roots. We’ve been growing bright, colorful flowers at the office and ended up with an abundance of blooms. We decided to pass them along to some community members who might need a little joy in their life. Our first delivery of flowers was to John Knox Village Care Center of Lee’s Summit, Missouri. With every vase of flowers we provide, we’re reminded that small acts of kindness can brighten someone’s day and go a long way.
Like flower seeds spread in good soil, joy spreads too when seeds are planted. When the community members receive their vase of flowers we hope faces light up, conversations start, and stories are shared.
At Reiss Earthworks, we believe in building community. Therefore, we want this program to keep growing, and we’d love your help deciding where to deliver joy with our flowers next. If you know of a retirement home, community center, or organization that could use a little extra sunshine, let us know! We’re taking nominations!
When you plant flowers, you plant joy. And when you share them, joy takes root!
We are also spreading joy with every review we receive this year. Read more about that here.

Nominations for Earthworks in Bloom’s next flower delivery.
You received flowers, now what?
Who We Are: Reiss Earthworks is an excavation company based in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. Since 2011, we’ve provided high-quality earthwork, grading, and construction services throughout the Kansas City area. Just like the flowers we’re delivering, our work begins in the dirt. Beyond our work in the field, we are dedicated to building strong community connections and giving back through meaningful local initiatives.
Why We’re Doing This: Flowers are known to brighten the day of those who see and enjoy them, bringing warmth and beauty to any setting. This pilot program is part of our community outreach efforts. We believe in promoting community connection, and this is one of the ways we can help bring a little extra joy.
How You Can Help: You can help us “pay this gesture forward” by saving the vases and plastic totes. Reusing these items allows us to continue this program for future organizations.
Pickup & Care Instructions:
- We estimate the flowers will last about one week.
- We will coordinate vase and tote pickup approximately one week from your drop-off date.
- For best longevity, keep arrangements away from HVAC vents and direct sunlight.
- If possible, add water if it runs low. We understand this may not always be feasible.
Contact Information: Office: 816.215.0505 – Call or text. If we do not answer, please leave a message and let us know when you are ready for pickup, if not prearranged.
Thank you for partnering with us to share this act of kindness in our community.
