Landscape Design & Installation
Landscape Design & Installation
Professional landscape design goes beyond beauty—it’s an investment that can reduce your energy costs through strategic plant placement while creating the perfect outdoor environment for your family. Smart design prevents costly mistakes and ensures your landscape thrives for years to come. Our experienced team has earned recognition as one of Springfield’s premier landscaping companies by combining thoughtful design with expert installation.
Our Design Philosophy
Every successful landscape begins with a strong foundation of design principles. We start by establishing focal points—whether a stunning water feature, unique specimen tree, or architectural element—that draw the eye and create visual interest. From there, we carefully select anchor plants, typically evergreens, that provide year-round structure and framework for your landscape.
Balance drives every design decision we make. Rather than relying on rigid symmetry, we create visual balance through thoughtful placement of plants with varying heights, textures, and seasonal characteristics. We avoid overwhelming any area with too much of the same element, instead incorporating the principle of “clumping”—grouping plants strategically to create natural-looking clusters.
Hedging adds structure and definition to outdoor spaces. We often recommend grouping specific plant types in rows that mature into beautiful hedges. Boxwoods, yews, and holly are popular choices in our area for creating lasting boundaries and visual interest.
Our design considerations extend to depth, texture, spacing, height variance, natural flow, color coordination, and seasonal appeal—especially important for maintaining winter interest in Missouri’s climate.
Our Design Process
Quality landscape design requires time and attention to detail. We typically invest 1.5 weeks in the design phase, carefully considering your preferences, property characteristics, and lifestyle needs. This thorough approach allows us to measure your space accurately, sketch preliminary concepts, and develop a comprehensive plan.
After presenting the initial design, we set it aside for a few days before reviewing with fresh perspective. This process often reveals opportunities for refinement. Once you approve the final design, we handle all installation details and can provide ongoing maintenance to keep your investment looking its best.

Planning Your Landscape Installation
Every successful landscape installation begins with thorough discussion and planning. Before breaking ground, we’ll work with you to answer key questions that shape your project:
- What’s your vision for the space?
- Will the landscape include hardscape elements like paver patios or seating walls?
- Do you prefer more lawn area or extensive shrub beds?
- Should we incorporate irrigation or landscape lighting systems?
- Do you need electrical outlets or gas lines for outdoor cooking areas?
- Would you like features like fire pits or water elements?
- What are your favorite plants, and do you have any allergies to consider?
- Do you need privacy screening or wind protection?
- What’s your budget for the project?
Our Installation Process
Once we’ve finalized your design, our installation follows a proven sequence that ensures lasting results. We begin with rough grading and any necessary retaining walls, bringing in topsoil to achieve proper drainage around your home—critical for preventing water damage. During this phase, we install conduit sleeves for irrigation and electrical systems.
Next, we install irrigation systems, hardscape structures, and water features, followed by final grading with additional topsoil. We then plant trees, install landscape bed borders, and finish with lighting, plants, weed barrier fabric, and mulch or stone.
