What a Metro West landscape project includes
From first sketch to final mulch spread — one team, one estimate, one guarantee.
On-site estimate with the owner
The owner walks your property with you personally. You tell us what you want; we tell you what’s actually possible. No salespeople, no gimmicks.
Plant selection for Zone 6b
Every plant we specify survives Missouri summers and winters. No imported varieties that die in year two.
Hardscape & retaining walls
Paver patios, stone walls, pathways, and bed edging that lasts decades in Missouri freeze-thaw cycles.
Bed prep done right
Soil amendment, weed barrier, proper depth mulch. The parts you don’t see are what keep plants alive.
Drainage & grading
Water flows away from foundations and patios — not toward them. Critical for Chesterfield clay soil.
One-year plant guarantee
Anything we install that doesn’t root in the first season, we replace. No questions.
The process: on-site, on your terms
Every landscape design starts the same way: the owner comes out, walks the property with you, and listens. We want to know how you actually use the yard — is it a place for kids to run? Room for a firepit? Privacy from the neighbor? A view from the kitchen window? That’s the design starting point, not a catalog.
Then we show you what’s realistic. That means honest conversations about budget, what plants will actually thrive in Missouri, what the property’s grading will allow, and what phases make sense if you want to spread the project over a year. No pressure, no hard close. You get a design that fits your life and a proposal you can trust.
Design that fits Missouri, not a catalog
Most national landscaping companies use the same plant palette in Boston, Atlanta, and St. Louis. That’s why so many expensive landscapes look great for one season and tired by year three. We design for what actually thrives in Zone 6b — the hostas, heucheras, knockout roses, boxwoods, and Missouri natives that handle our clay, our summers, and our January deep freezes.
Common projects we do
Full front-yard refreshes for homes that were builder-graded with shrubs planted too close to the foundation. Backyard patios with firepits and bed plantings to define the space. Custom retaining walls for the sloped lots throughout Ladue, Kirkwood, and Wildwood. Pool surrounds. Privacy plantings. Entry garden makeovers. If it involves plants, stone, or shaping the land — it’s ours.
Where we design & install
We take landscape projects across all 14 Metro West cities we serve: Chesterfield, O’Fallon, St. Peters, St. Charles, Cottleville, Weldon Spring, Lake St. Louis, Wentzville, Maryland Heights, Creve Coeur, Ladue, Wildwood, Bridgeton, and Kirkwood.
