Landscape Design and Installation in Chesterfield, MO

Chesterfield represents one of St. Louis County’s most desirable communities, with established neighborhoods and upscale properties throughout the area. Yet even premium homes often feature outdated or underdeveloped landscapes that fail to match the quality of the structures they surround. Done Right Landscapes brings professional landscape design and installation expertise to Chesterfield properties, creating outdoor environments that enhance both beauty and property value.

Our nearly two decades of experience throughout the St. Louis region mean we understand what succeeds in Chesterfield’s soil and climate.

Designing Landscapes for Chesterfield Properties

Understanding Your Property’s Unique Character

Chesterfield encompasses diverse terrain from flat lots in planned communities to sloped properties with valley views. Homes in older neighborhoods like Chesterfield Farms benefit from mature canopy trees but often need refreshed understory plantings. Newer developments in western Chesterfield frequently sit on graded sites that require careful soil evaluation before planting.

We analyze your property’s topography, existing vegetation, and natural drainage before recommending any plants. This assessment identifies opportunities and constraints that shape successful design.

Matching Design to Your Lifestyle

How you use outdoor space determines what your landscape should provide. Active families need resilient plantings around play equipment and pet areas. Homeowners who host gatherings want garden beds that create attractive settings for entertaining. Empty nesters often prefer sophisticated, low-maintenance designs that deliver impact without demanding constant attention.

Professional Installation Standards

Quality installation begins before any plants arrive. We prepare Chesterfield sites with attention to details that determine long-term success. Soil gets amended with organic materials where needed to create favorable growing conditions. Bed edges receive proper definition to maintain clean lines through the years of growth.

Our installation approach includes:

  • Appropriately sized planting holes that allow root expansion
  • Root ball inspection and removal of circling roots
  • Correct depth positioning with structural roots at grade
  • Proper backfilling to eliminate air pockets
  • Thorough initial watering that saturates the entire root zones

These practices separate professional installation from amateur work that leaves homeowners replacing failed plants within a year or two.

Plant Selection for Lasting Performance

Trees define landscape character while providing shade and screening. Serviceberry offers multi-season interest with spring flowers and vibrant fall color. Eastern redbud creates dramatic early-spring displays. Japanese maple cultivars provide elegant form and foliage in colors from deep burgundy to bright chartreuse. Evergreens like arborvitae create privacy screens while holly varieties add winter interest.

Perennial gardens reduce maintenance demands while delivering reliable seasonal displays. Salvia and Russian sage bloom through summer heat with minimal water once established. Daylilies offer countless options for sunny locations while hostas fill shaded areas. Ornamental grasses add vertical elements and movement from summer through winter.

Ground covers solve problems where other plantings struggle. Pachysandra thrives in dense shade under mature trees. Creeping phlox handles sunny slopes while providing spring flowers. Our landscape products inventory focuses on species with proven regional performance.

Creating Year-Round Visual Appeal

Strategic plant selection maintains interest throughout the year.

Seasonal Progression:

Spring begins with early bulbs and flowering trees.

Summer perennials carry color through hot months

Fall brings ornamental grass transitions and tree foliage displays.

Winter reveals evergreen structure and interesting bark textures that add unexpected focal points.

Purpose-driven gardens enhance functionality. Native plant combinations support local ecosystems while requiring less maintenance. Herb gardens near kitchen doors provide fresh culinary ingredients. Rain gardens capture runoff while creating habitat in low-lying areas.
