When you look outside this time of year, it’s hard to picture blooming flowers, green grass, and sunny afternoons. You might not believe it, but spring is just around the corner! And if you’re already daydreaming about cookouts, garden parties, or just relaxing outside, now’s the time to start thinking about your landscape.
If your current view isn’t exactly inspiring, that’s okay—we can help! At GreenScapeSTL Landscaping and Outdoor Living, we specialize in landscaping in St Louis MO, and we love working with homeowners to bring their outdoor dreams to life. Whether you want to completely redo your yard or just add a few fresh features, it all starts with a good plan.
Here’s how you can get a head start on your spring landscaping project:
Take a Look Around Your Yard
Grab a jacket and take a quick stroll around your yard. What do you like? What’s not working? Maybe you have a patchy lawn, a bare corner that no one uses, or a spot where the sun scorches your plants every summer. All of those are areas we can help transform into something you’ll love.
Set Some Yard Goals
What do you want your outdoor space to do for you? More room for BBQs and family hangouts? A quiet reading nook surrounded by flowers? A kid-friendly play area? Or maybe something low-maintenance that still looks amazing. Make a list of your goals so we can design a landscape that fits your lifestyle and your budget.
Get Inspired
Now’s a great time to scroll through garden websites, flip through magazines, or check out the Projects page on our GreenScapeSTL website. You might also want to start a garden journal to jot down ideas you like, plant combos you’ve seen before, or notes about what’s worked well (or not so well) in past years.
Let the Pros Help
Designing a yard is a team effort—and that’s where we come in. We'll sit down with you to chat about your vision and take a walk around your property to see what’s possible. From there, we’ll create a custom design based on your ideas, the shape of your yard, and what works best in our local climate.
Here’s what we check out when we visit your property:
- Size of Your Yard – We measure and sketch out your space to make sure everything fits nicely.
- Sun & Shade – We check which spots get full sun and which ones stay shady.
- Soil Health – A simple soil test can tell us what nutrients your yard may need.
- Tough Spots – Got a slope or an area that floods? We’ll find a way to make it right.
- Your Vision – Outdoor kitchen? Cozy firepit? Relaxing water feature? Let’s dream big.
No two yards are the same—even in the same neighborhood. That’s why we take the time to build a plan that’s just right for you.
We Handle the Hard Stuff
Once we’ve settled on a design, our team takes care of all the behind-the-scenes work. That includes managing the construction crew, applying for permits, and making sure everything follows local codes. Don’t worry—we’ll take care of everything.
We’ve managed projects of all sizes across Our Service Areas, and we always aim to stay on time and on budget. Whether it’s a full yard overhaul or just a few updates, you’ll always know what’s happening—and we’re happy to make adjustments along the way if your ideas shift.
Don’t Wait Too Long
Some projects—especially larger ones with things like retaining walls, patios, or custom lighting—can take up to six months from planning to breaking ground. Smaller upgrades, like a pergola or flower bed refresh, might only take a few weeks. Either way, it’s smart to reach out early so we can get the ball rolling.
