Landscaping in Chesterfield

Chesterfield is about thirty minutes from our shop at 2743 Hwy P in O'Fallon, and its subdivisions off Clarkson, Olive, and Wild Horse Creek Road have the kind of lots where landscaping makes a real difference: deep front yards, long foundations, and mature trees that call for shade plantings. Village Green, Fairmount, Claymont, and Westhampton Woods homes often still carry 1980s plantings that are ready to come out.

We rebuild those beds at the right scale, add stone or paver edging, put in retaining walls where the backyard drops toward a creek or wooded edge, and handle sod and plantings around new patios. Every project starts with a free walkthrough and comes back as a written scope with a fixed price. Chesterfield maintains the trees in the public right of way, and we work around them.

Shade beds and slope walls in Chesterfield

Forty years of oak canopy means much of the planting here is for shade: hydrangea, boxwood, hosta, viburnum, and ferns. The sloped backyards common in the upland subdivisions want walls that step down in short runs, which look better than one tall wall and usually stay under the height that requires an engineer. In the Valley, the old floodplain soil is rich and holds water, so we raise beds slightly and choose plants that handle wet springs.

What landscaping costs in Chesterfield

Every Chesterfield landscaping project is quoted after a walkthrough, and the estimate is free. The price comes down to:

Scope. Refreshing one front bed is a half-day job. Reworking the whole front yard with new beds and a wall is a multi-day project.

Plant sizes. Larger shrubs and trees cost more up front but fill in the first season.

Materials. Natural stone edging and block walls cost more than steel edging and mulch, and last far longer.

Site prep. Removing old plantings, fixing drainage, or hauling off soil adds labor before anything new goes in.

Access. Backyards reached through a narrow gate take longer to move material into than open front yards.

Landscaping questions from Chesterfield homeowners

Boxwood, spirea, hydrangea, ornamental grasses, coneflower, and black-eyed Susan handle Chesterfield summers and clay soil well, and we lean on them in most designs. Full-sun and shade beds get different lists, and we match plants to the spot.
Spring and fall. Fall planting in September and October gives roots a long cool stretch to settle in before summer heat, and it is usually easier to schedule.
Yes. Most messy beds have no defined edge and the wrong plants for the light. We reshape the edge, pull what is not working, replant for the conditions, and mulch, and the bed stays tidy with simple upkeep.
Yes. We build block and stone retaining walls for sloped Chesterfield lots, including terraced beds and walls along driveways. Walls over four feet usually need an engineer, and we will tell you up front if yours does.
Yes. Many Chesterfield customers put new beds on a seasonal program with spring cleanup, mulch, trimming, and fall cleanup so the project keeps looking the way it did on day one.
