Landscaping Saint Louis MO | Call Christian Retaining Walls

Proper excavation allows us to create a defined, clean edge and a stable base for your mulch beds. This prevents surrounding soil and grass from creeping in, which is a major source of weeds. We can also install a quality landscape fabric barrier during the process to further suppress weed growth, giving you a much easier-to-maintain garden area.

Absolutely. For overgrown shrubs, especially near foundations or walkways, strategic trench digging is a key solution. We can dig a trench to safely sever and remove invasive root systems, preventing further damage. This also allows us to install a root barrier in the trench to contain future growth, protecting your hardscape and giving you a clean line to maintain.

The first step is often professional excavation and grading. By reshaping the slope, we can improve drainage—a common issue here—which reduces erosion and standing water that encourages weeds. This grading creates level terraces that are perfect for installing retaining walls and defined planting beds, transforming an unmanageable slope into beautiful, usable, and easy-to-care-for outdoor living spaces.
