How we build lawns & yards projects
Why St. Louis grass never looks right all year
St. Louis lawns lose a season no matter which grass you plant. The Missouri Botanical Garden recommends turf-type tall fescue or zoysia here, but tall fescue can struggle in hot, humid weather and zoysia stays tan from early fall through late spring.
The weather explains it. NOAA’s 1991–2020 normals for Lambert airport show about 47 days a year at 90°F or hotter and about 85 nights at or below freezing. To keep fescue green through that, MU Extension says a summer lawn may need 1 to 1.5 inches of water a week, and it recommends mowing tall fescue at 3 to 4 inches with a blade you keep sharp all summer. A turf lawn drops the watering, mowing, seeding and feeding.
Built for river-bluff soil and spring rain
The base matters more here than the turf on top. Much of the metro sits on deep loess soils on the ridges and benches along the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, and MU Extension says most Missouri soils absorb only about half an inch of water per hour. Lambert averages 41.7 inches of precipitation a year.
So we excavate the sod, then grade and compact a crushed-rock base that pitches water away from the house. Rain passes through the turf backing and the rock instead of puddling on slow native soil.
Which turf fits your yard
Pick the turf by how the yard gets used:
- Luxe Flow 75 for a main backyard lawn that should look and feel like real grass
- Bermuda for front yards that face the street and the HOA
- Tropical Flow 62 for sunny yards with kids and heavy traffic
- Malibu Flow 65 when you want no infill to top off
All four are made in U.S.A. at our Dalton, Georgia plant, are lead & PFAS free and carry a 16-year warranty.
HOAs in St. Charles and St. Louis County
Many yards here sit inside planned communities, so plan for architectural review. WingHaven in O’Fallon is a 1,100-acre development begun in 1999, and Lake Saint Louis grew out of covenants recorded in 1967. We provide spec sheets and samples for your submission.
What happens next

Questions
Before you get a quote
Will artificial grass hold up to a St. Louis winter?
Yes. Turf doesn’t go dormant, so it stays green through the roughly 85 nights a year that drop to freezing at Lambert. Keep heavy snow piles off it and brush the blades upright in spring.
My yard is mud every April. Will turf fix that?
Usually, yes. We dig out the sod and build a compacted crushed-rock base graded away from the house, so spring rain drains down through the turf instead of sitting on top of slow-draining native soil.
Do I need HOA approval in my subdivision?
Check your covenants before you schedule. Planned communities like WingHaven in O’Fallon and Lake Saint Louis have their own rules, and front yards get the most review. We give you a spec sheet and a sample for the application.
How do you price a lawn?
We price after an on-site visit, based on the square footage, how much excavation and base work the yard needs, access for equipment and the turf you pick. You get a written price before anything is scheduled.
