EXCEPTIONAL ENTERTAINING
The Miller family’s home in Weldon Spring had everything they wanted and needed — but the large backyard was a blank canvas waiting to be transformed. They had enjoyed having a pool at their previous home and missed the resort-style fun they could have with their kids, family, and friends right in their own backyard. We met the Millers through one of our pool builder partners and decided to work together to transform their backyard into a gathering place where they could make their next chapter of memories.
Our white-glove design experience and well-orchestrated installation process come together to produce the exceptional results our customers have come to expect. Let us show you a few key aspects of the Millers’ home transformation to spark your inspiration!

FAQs
How much should I expect to spend on landscaping?
The cost of landscaping is difficult to generalize without site-specific information and an understanding of the specific vision for your home. However, Realtors published an article that states that a homeowner can expect to spend between 10-12% of the cost of their home on landscaping. We have found that for many projects, this is a fairly accurate projection, however, many projects are above or below that average based on the homeowner’s objectives, specific site requirements, and finished material selections.
Can I complete my project in phases?
Absolutely. We work with homeowners on a regular basis to create phasing plans for their projects. We will phase a project to meet the clients’ initial budget goals, while maintaining a cohesive design that can be flawlessly completed in 2 stages or 10, based on your specific needs.
How do I care for my plants after they are installed by Elevate?
There’s typically not a lot of maintenance in the first year or two after plants are installed. The above ground growth is minimal as the plants are trying to get root establishment as vigorously as possible.
Most plants require at least a light pruning each year (spring and fall are best) and it may be necessary to remove some dead wood or dormant material after the winter season.
The most important thing you can do to care for your plants is adhere to a strict watering plan, especially within the first year after installation. Click here to learn more about how to water your plants.
