Boost your curb appeal with a landscape installed by a team that brings real expertise to every job. We have served the St. Louis area since 1996, and many of our foremen have 15 to 25 years of hands-on experience in grading, planting, bed shaping, and hardscape installation. This depth of knowledge helps us anticipate challenges, solve problems quickly, and create designs that hold up through years of Missouri weather, including identifying and correcting drainage issues before they damage your landscape .

Professionalism, courtesy, and pride in workmanship are values built into everything we do.

Why Professional Landscaping Matters

A well-designed landscape adds beauty to your home, but it does much more than that. Good design improves property value, helps manage water flow, reduces maintenance time, and creates outdoor spaces that feel comfortable and welcoming. Many homeowners who try DIY landscaping eventually discover issues such as poor drainage, settling patios, or plants that fail to survive seasonal extremes. Our team understands local soil conditions and weather patterns, which is essential for long-term success.

We choose plants that thrive in Missouri’s climate, design beds that retain moisture, and install hardscapes on properly prepared bases so they stay level and attractive. Thoughtful design also supports your daily routines. You might want more shade, a safer pathway, or a gathering area for friends and family. Professional landscaping brings these goals together in a unified plan that performs well year-round.

Smart landscaping can also lower your water bill. By incorporating native plants, adjusting grading to improve drainage, and planning irrigation strategically, homeowners often see lower maintenance demands and fewer issues related to erosion or oversaturation.

Common Landscaping Questions

How much does landscaping cost in St. Louis? Most residential projects range from five thousand to twenty five thousand dollars, depending on scope and materials. Simple refreshes fall on the lower end, while complete transformations require a larger investment. We provide free estimates so you have a clear understanding of costs.

How long does a landscaping project take? Smaller projects may take one to three days. Larger hardscape and planting installations usually require one to two weeks. Before work begins, we outline your project schedule and communicate progress throughout the process.

What landscaping plants grow best in St. Louis? Our climate supports many hardy and attractive species. We often use coneflowers, hydrangeas, black eyed susans, boxwoods, ornamental grasses, and shade tolerant varieties for deeply wooded lots. These plants offer four season interest and thrive with minimal care. For ongoing plant health, many homeowners pair new landscapes with regular fertilization services.

Do you provide landscaping maintenance? We focus on landscape design and installation. After your project is completed, routine lawn care and seasonal trimming will keep your yard looking its best. We can recommend trusted maintenance partners if you need ongoing support.

Can you help with drainage problems? Yes. Drainage is one of the most important parts of landscape design. Standing water, erosion, and poor grading can damage both your yard and your foundation. We regrade problem areas, install French drains, and design beds and hardscapes that move water safely away from structures.
