Rake & Hoe Landscaping - O'Fallon's Experienced Landscapers

Common signs in our area include persistent puddles that don't drain after rain, water pooling near your home's foundation, or areas of your lawn that are constantly soggy or muddy. Poor grading can lead to foundation damage and kill your grass and plants. Our team can perform a professional assessment to identify problem areas and recommend a corrective grading plan.

In O'Fallon, this is often a soil or planting issue, not just a watering problem. Our local clay-heavy soil can compact, preventing proper drainage and root growth, or the shrubs may have been planted incorrectly for the location (too deep, wrong sun exposure). We offer soil testing, proper planting services, and can recommend native or adapted species that are more resilient to our local conditions.

The first and most critical step is a professional site evaluation. At Rake & Hoe, we start by examining your yard's slope, soil composition, and existing plant health. This allows us to create a tailored plan that addresses the core issues—whether it's regrading for drainage, aerating and amending soil, or redesigning planting beds—to create a lasting, healthy landscape for your O'Fallon home.
