Landscape STL communicates clearly and completed work in a timely fashion weather permitting. Kati was our go to person and she was able to match the capstone on our retaining wall. In addition, they were very careful with my irrigation system which saved me money when the irrigation was installed.

Landscape St. Louis was a wonderful company to partner with for a very large project on my backyard. They replaced a very challenging retaining wall with precarious access and a difficult neighbor.

We just completed phase 1 of a 2 phase project with Landscape St. Louis. The first phase was very involved with hardscape and landscape.
We had drainage problems to be solved and lots of right angles and edging details to be handled. We were looking to increase curb appeal as well as improve the way our driveway functioned.
Our goals were met. Kati and her team made it happen. She managed and guided the process start to finish. We are very pleased with the results.
Our goal for the project was met. Even the few unexpected challenges along the way were resolved quickly and to our satisfaction. We’re looking forward to getting started on phase 2 with Landscape St. Louis.
Peggy, you've got a solid foundation now for phase 2, and we're excited to keep the momentum going with Kati and the team. Your driveway's working better, your curb appeal's up, and those drainage issues are behind you, so you're in great shape to tackle the next part of your vision.

Dusty and Landscape St Louis went above and beyond to make our experience and result truly the best. The landscaping has completely changed the look of our home. Our crew leader, Nijas, was amazing to work with along with Agustin and Rogelio. We love looking at our elegant landscaping!

Joseph Matyi2 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Joseph has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
The company took over the Landscape Maintenance of the residential landscape. The first year went relatively well for a new companies take over of a transition where the residence had a full time gardener. The staff was hard working and showed up regularly to execute landscape maintenance. The site has a long time property manager who oversaw the crews work.. The only weakness is that the landscape crew needs to have one educated horticultural leader to manage the crew on each visit.
Joseph, thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for recognizing the effort and consistency of our team during a year of transition. Taking over a property that previously had a full-time gardener is a significant change, and we appreciate the opportunity to support the long-term care of the landscape.
We appreciate your feedback regarding on-site horticultural leadership. In direct response to this, we have recently added a full-time horticulturist and arborist to our team to provide higher-level oversight, plant health guidance, and crew support across our maintenance properties. Strengthening this layer of expertise is an important part of how we continue to raise our service standards.
Thank you again for the opportunity to care for the property and for acknowledging the hard work of our staff.
