Landscape Design & Installation in St. Louis
Custom landscape plans that combine curb appeal, function, and plants that actually thrive in Missouri's climate.
Design, Install & Maintain -- All One Team
Green Operations provides complete landscape design and installation for residential and commercial properties across St. Louis, Jefferson County, and St. Charles County. Whether you are landscaping a hillside lot in Arnold, refreshing a Kirkwood front yard, or building out an outdoor living space in Chesterfield, we handle everything from the initial concept to the final mulch layer -- and we are here for ongoing maintenance too.
With 20+ years of experience working in Missouri soil and climate conditions, we select plants, trees, and materials that look great year-round and stand up to St. Louis summers, ice storms, and everything in between. Our landscape projects are designed to complement your hardscaping, enhance your home's curb appeal, and create outdoor spaces that feel intentional -- not thrown together.
Whether you need a complete front yard redesign, new perimeter plantings, or landscape lighting that shows off your property after dark, we start every project with a free on-site consultation.
Landscape Plans Built Around the Property
Strong landscape design starts with the way water, sunlight, soil, and daily traffic already move across the property. Green Operations studies those conditions before choosing plants, bed lines, borders, lighting, or mulch so the finished landscape looks intentional and stays manageable after installation.
Plant Placement Sized for the Next Several Seasons
Planting plans account for mature shrub width, tree canopy, window heights, walkways, views from the street, and the hardscape already on site. That keeps new beds from feeling balanced now and overgrown later.
Bed Lines and Edging That Stay Clean
Natural cut edges, metal edging, stone borders, and paver accents each fit different homes and maintenance habits. We recommend the edge detail that supports the design without making weekly upkeep harder.
Lighting Planned Before the Beds Are Finished
Path lights, uplights, and wash lights are placed with the beds instead of tacked on afterward. For planning ideas, see our landscape lighting guide or ask about lighting during the estimate.
Landscape Lighting That Transforms Your Property
Professional landscape lighting extends the usability of your outdoor space and dramatically increases curb appeal. See what a difference it makes.
Low-voltage LED systems use minimal electricity and last 40,000+ hours. We design, install, and set timers so your property looks its best every night without you lifting a finger.
Mulch & Bed Maintenance
Fresh mulch is the single fastest way to improve curb appeal. It controls weeds, retains moisture, regulates soil temperature, and gives your landscape a clean, finished look.
We install premium hardwood mulch, cedar mulch, and decorative rock depending on the design and the homeowner's preference. For most St. Louis properties, we recommend 2-3 inches of mulch depth applied in spring, with a light refresh in fall for high-visibility beds.
Ongoing Landscape Maintenance
Our team also provides seasonal maintenance services including spring cleanups, fall leaf removal, pruning, bed edging, and mulch replenishment. Many of our landscape design clients add a maintenance plan to protect their investment year-round.
