Missouri's varied terrain and climate, from Ozark hills to northern plains, present diverse landscaping opportunities. We serve homeowners in St. Louis, Independence, and Lee's Summit. Our work is designed to thrive through the state's four distinct seasons.
Landscaping stones in Missouri need to be selected for their durability against both humid summers and cold, icy winters. We choose materials that can withstand freeze-thaw cycles common in our state. Spring and fall are ideal for installing stone patios, walkways, and retaining walls, as the weather is most conducive to outdoor work. Summer's heat and humidity mean careful plant pairings with stone features are essential for a healthy landscape. We are knowledgeable about local building codes and ensure all installations are compliant.
The rule of three in landscaping suggests using odd numbers, typically three, in design for a more natural and visually appealing arrangement. This can apply to groupings of plants or decorative stones. It creates a sense of balance and rhythm.
