Landscaping in Wildwood

Wildwood is about thirty-five to forty-five minutes from our shop at 2743 Hwy P in O'Fallon, and we go for the kind of work the city is full of: large lots, steep ground, and heavy oak and hickory canopy. In Grover, Winding Trails, the Villages at Brightleaf, and on the three-acre properties, projects run to terraced walls, long foundation beds in shade, and cleaning up the woodland edge so the lawn stops cleanly.

Wildwood has a tree preservation code that protects groupings of large trees, so we design around existing canopy rather than through it, and we will tell you when a plan needs a preservation review. Beds under big trees get shade and deer-resistant plantings, and walls on steep lots step down in short runs. Every project gets a free walkthrough and a fixed written price.

We build it and keep it looking good

Our crew installs the project and cleans up, and we can put the beds on a maintenance schedule so they stay sharp.

Working with Wildwood's trees instead of against them

The best Wildwood yards treat the woods as the backdrop. We clear brush and small volunteers along the edge, mulch it in a wide band, and plant hydrangea, viburnum, and ferns to bridge lawn and forest. Surface roots from mature oaks are left alone, and beds are built up over them with compost rather than cut into them. Because of the drive, we schedule Wildwood projects in full-day blocks and price the travel into the quote.

What landscaping costs in Wildwood

Every Wildwood 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 Wildwood homeowners

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