Our
mission
Integrity Ground Works was founded in 2012 in Eureka, Missouri, with a simple guiding principle: deliver landscape solutions with honesty, craftsmanship, and accountability. Over the years we’ve developed a balanced team of designers, installation crews, and maintenance professionals who share a focus on durable construction and thoughtful design. We serve residential and commercial clients across St. Louis County and surrounding areas, specializing in landscape design, irrigation, hardscapes, retaining walls, stamped concrete, water features, outdoor lighting, drainage systems, and year-round lawn care.
Company history and growth
Founded in 2012 by local professionals with combined experience in landscape construction and design, Integrity Ground Works was created to fill a need for a single, reliable provider that could manage entire landscape projects from planning through maintenance. Starting with small residential jobs, we steadily expanded into larger-scale installs, commercial landscape contracts, and specialized services like engineered retaining walls and complex drainage systems. Our growth has been driven by referrals and repeat clients who appreciate our hands-on approach and commitment to doing the job right.
Our team and culture
We employ a team of landscape technicians, certified irrigation specialists, masons, and project managers. Our culture emphasizes safety, continual training, and collaborative problem solving. Crews are trained on best practices for compaction, drainage, irrigation installation, and masonry techniques appropriate for Missouri’s freeze-thaw cycles. We maintain strict jobsite safety protocols and carry all necessary insurance.
Design philosophy
Our design approach is pragmatic and site-driven. Good landscape design must respond to the realities of grade, soil, sun exposure, and existing vegetation while aligning with client preferences and maintenance ability. We aim for:
Functional beauty
Spaces that work for daily life — entertaining, play, privacy, and circulation.
Longevity
Materials and construction methods that stand up to weather and daily use.
Low maintenance
Plant palettes and irrigation strategies that reduce long-term upkeep.
Value-driven design
Maximizing impact per budget through smart placement, focal points, and appropriate materials.
Seasonal mowing, fertilization, aeration, and pruning packages to keep landscapes healthy year-round.
Why local knowledge matters
Missouri’s seasonal shifts demand local experience. Plant selections that thrive here differ from other regions; soil compaction and correct base preparation are critical for long-lasting hardscapes; drainage solutions must account for spring rains and potential heavy downpours. We understand local permitting practices and HOA considerations, making the process smoother and avoiding common surprises that delay projects.
