Professional Landscaping Services in Lake St Louis, MO

Lake St Louis offers a unique blend of waterfront living and suburban convenience, with homes ranging from lakeside properties to established neighborhoods throughout the community. Many yards lack the professional landscaping needed to showcase these properties truly. Done Right Landscapes transforms Lake St Louis homes with landscape design and installation that creates beautiful outdoor spaces suited to Missouri’s climate.

We have served St. Charles County for nearly two decades, building deep expertise in what thrives locally.

Custom Design for Lake St Louis Homes

Starting With Your Vision

Every successful landscape project begins by understanding what you want from your outdoor space. Some Lake St Louis homeowners envision low-maintenance gardens that frame their homes beautifully. Others need privacy plantings to screen neighboring properties. We listen to your priorities before making any recommendations.

Evaluating Site Conditions

Lake St Louis properties present varied challenges. Homes near the water often deal with higher humidity and specific sun exposure patterns. Properties on slopes need erosion control integrated with aesthetics. Established neighborhoods feature mature trees that create shade zones requiring specific plant selections.

We assess soil quality, drainage patterns, sun exposure throughout the day, and existing vegetation. These factors determine which plants will thrive and where they belong on your property.

Installation That Ensures Success

Quality installation separates thriving landscapes from struggling ones. We thoroughly prepare the Lake St. Louis sites before any plants arrive.

Soil preparation addresses the clay-heavy conditions common throughout the area. We incorporate organic amendments to improve drainage and create space for healthy root development. Professional edging defines bed lines that maintain their shape through seasons of growth.

Our planting technique follows proven horticultural practices. Holes get sized appropriately for root expansion. We inspect root balls and prune any circling roots that could cause problems as plants mature. Each plant sits at the correct depth with proper backfilling to eliminate air pockets. Initial watering thoroughly saturates root zones to support establishment.

Selecting Plants That Perform

O’Fallon landscapes need plants adapted to local conditions. Our landscape products include ornamental trees, perennials, and ground covers explicitly selected for Missouri’s climate.

Trees for Structure and Shade

Ornamental trees anchor Lake St Louis landscapes while providing functional benefits. Serviceberry delivers spring blooms, summer berries that attract birds, and fall color. River birch handles moisture variations well with distinctive peeling bark. Evergreens such as eastern red cedar and arborvitae provide year-round screening along property lines.

Perennials and Ground Covers

Perennial gardens provide ongoing color with minimal maintenance once established. Coneflowers and black-eyed Susans bloom through summer heat. Daylilies thrive in sunny spots while hostas fill shaded areas with bold foliage. Ornamental grasses like switchgrass add texture from midsummer into winter.

Ground covers solve problem areas where traditional plantings fail. Pachysandra creates dense coverage in shade. Creeping sedum handles sunny slopes while preventing erosion. Our landscape products feature species proven for regional performance.

Year-Round Visual Interest

Well-designed landscapes evolve through the seasons rather than peaking briefly and then fading.

Seasonal Progression:

Spring bulbs emerge before trees leaf out.

Summer perennials carry color through hot months

Fall brings ornamental grass transitions and tree foliage in reds and golds

Winter reveals evergreen structure and interesting bark textures.

Functional Garden Spaces

Native plant gardens support local pollinators while requiring less water than traditional landscapes. Herb gardens positioned near kitchen doors provide fresh basil, thyme, and rosemary for cooking. Rain gardens capture stormwater in attractive, planted areas that filter runoff naturally.
