Landscaping St. Louis MO | Call Big Boy Lawns

St. Louis's heavy clay soil often leads to compaction, which suffocates grass roots and causes poor drainage. Our landscape design services strategically incorporate soil aeration, proper grading, and the use of amended soils or raised beds to break up compaction. This creates a healthier foundation for your plants, improves water infiltration to reduce runoff, and promotes stronger, more resilient turf and landscaping.

The key is a multi-step approach. First, we install a professional-grade weed barrier beneath fresh mulch during our landscape design or renovation process. We then recommend using a thicker layer of mulch (about 2-3 inches) to block sunlight from reaching weed seeds. For ongoing maintenance, we offer targeted pre-emergent treatments in early spring and careful hand-weeding to address any breakthroughs, keeping your beds clean and low-maintenance.

Yes, we offer seasonal snow removal contracts. They are crucial in St. Louis due to our unpredictable winter weather. A contract guarantees you priority service, so your driveways and walkways are cleared promptly after a snowfall, reducing slip hazards and protecting your hardscapes from ice damage. It provides peace of mind, knowing your property is cared for by reliable professionals, so you don't have to scramble to find service during a storm.
