Landscaping in Hazelwood

Hazelwood is about thirty minutes from our shop at 2743 Hwy P in O'Fallon. The ranch and split-level homes in Flamingo Park, Pleasant Hollow, and Riverwood were built in the 1950s through 1970s, and a lot of them still have the plantings that came with the house. Our most common Hazelwood project is pulling those overgrown yews and junipers and rebuilding the bed, then replanting at a size that lets the house show.

We also add stone and paver edging, plantings around patios, and low retaining walls where a backyard drops toward Coldwater Creek, and we install sod where drainage work or a tree removal has left bare ground. Shrub trimming on a seasonal schedule keeps the new beds from turning into the old ones.

Shade plantings under Hazelwood's old trees

Sixty-year-old oaks and maples put most Hazelwood foundation beds in shade, so the planting list leans on hydrangea, boxwood, hosta, viburnum, and ferns. We build beds up over surface roots with compost rather than cutting into them, which keeps the tree healthy and the bed level. The sunny front corners can take spirea and ornamental grasses, and fall planting gives everything a cool season to root.

What landscaping costs in Hazelwood

Every Hazelwood 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 Hazelwood homeowners

Boxwood, spirea, hydrangea, ornamental grasses, coneflower, and black-eyed Susan handle Hazelwood 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 Hazelwood 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 Hazelwood 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.
