Residential Landscape Development
Integrity Ground Works
Personalized Outdoor Living
At Integrity Ground Works, residential landscape development means designing and building outdoor environments that fit how you live. Serving Eureka, MO, and the surrounding communities since 2012, we specialize in turning yards into functional, attractive extensions of the home — from welcoming front yards to backyard retreats with patios, lighting, water features, and purposeful plantings.
Why residential landscape development matters
A thoughtfully developed residential landscape increases usable outdoor space, improves curb appeal, manages stormwater, and reduces maintenance stress. Rather than piecemeal upgrades, a coordinated development plan considers flow, sightlines, and mature growth to create a cohesive exterior that complements the home and fits your lifestyle.

Design that supports lifestyle
We design for how you use your outdoor space:
Entertainment-focused
Larger patio spaces, outdoor kitchens, and ambient lighting.
Low-maintenance
Native plantings, efficient irrigation, and mulch-based beds.
Kid-friendly
Safe, durable play surfaces and clear sightlines.
Entertaining & privacy
Strategically placed walls, screens, and plantings to create private, comfortable areas.
Patio, hardscape, and outdoor living features
Patios and hardscape elements are where aesthetics meet heavy use. We place materials strategically to ensure proper flow to the home’s doors, integrate drainage, and select materials that stand up to Missouri’s freeze-thaw cycles. Options include pavers for classic, repairable surfaces and stamped concrete for cost-effective texture and color.
01
Water features and landscape lighting
Water features (pondless waterfalls, fountains) create a calming atmosphere and focal interest with minimal maintenance. Lighting systems are designed to enhance safety and ambience — highlighting steps, architectural features, and landscape focal points without causing glare or excess energy use.
02
Planting design and long-term health
Plant selection considers growth habit, mature size, and soil needs. We avoid over-planting and space plants to reduce future pruning. Incorporating a mix of evergreen structure and seasonal color results in year-round appeal. We include planting details and care instructions to ensure successful establishment.
03
Irrigation and water management
A crucial component of residential development is irrigation. We design systems to match plant types and exposure. Smart controllers, drip irrigation for beds, and efficient rotor/spray heads for turf reduce water waste and support a healthier landscape.
04
Maintenance and seasonal care
Our maintenance packages support established landscapes, allowing homeowners to choose the right level of service for their needs. Services include regular mowing, fertilization programs, aeration, pruning, and irrigation adjustments. We also provide seasonal services like fall clean-up and winterization.
05
Cost management and phasing options
Not every homeowner can implement a full landscape at once. Our phased approach allows priority zones to be completed first (front yard for curb appeal, then backyard entertainment areas, etc.). Each phase is planned to look intentional even before the project is complete.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
How do you create a low-maintenance yard?
We select drought-tolerant and native plants, use efficient irrigation, and design beds to reduce weeding and watering. Mulch and proper plant spacing are also critical elements.
Can you update an existing landscape rather than starting from scratch?
Yes. We frequently renovate and rework existing landscapes, improving plant health, correcting drainage issues, and replacing failed elements with long-term solutions.
What’s the best time to install a lawn?
For sod, spring through early fall are suitable. Seeding often works best in late summer to early fall when temperatures are moderate and rainfall patterns support establishment.
Do you install outdoor kitchens and built-in features?
We provide the hardscape base and structural elements for outdoor kitchens, seating walls, and fire pits, and coordinate with specialty contractors for gas and electrical work as needed.
Do you offer guarantees on plantings?
We provide workmanship warranties and stand by installation practices; plant survival depends on many factors including weather and homeowner care. We offer establishment programs to help ensure success.
