About
Licensed and insured, I’ve been proudly serving the STL Metro area for 6+ years as a one‑man, owner/operator business. I specialize in landscape design, shrub trimming and removal, gardening and weeding with a strong focus on detail and clear communication.
I’m a multi‑year Thumbtack Top Pro (’21–’26), and I always text before I arrive, give you a clear arrival window, and let you know when I’m on and off your property. For jobs outside the 88 municipalities in the core STL area, I’ll request supporting photos or video before making the trip.
Please note: no refunds (including deposits), I do not guarantee any trees, shrubs, or plants I sink, and pricing for tree work increases near electrical lines nor do I break down my estimates.
If you’re looking for reliable, straightforward help with your yard, reach out and let’s talk about your property.
I will always ask for the address in question so that I can see the property in person...I never quote remotely (nor should you trust someone who does). I will then take a look at your property within the next week at the first opening or availability in my schedule.

A few minutes after my request, Matt replied that he would be out to take a look in the next couple of days. I was pleasantly surprised when an hour later, he said he could be by within the hour. He came by, looked at the job with me, and said he’d send me some numbers. Within a couple of hours, he had a full quote. That’s great service!

Matt did a great job cleaning my overgrown brush. Helped raise the canopy of four low hanging trees and removed a trailer load of offal. He also removed nasty invasive vines from my two large crepemertles(sp) in spite of the hot weather. His quick response was appreciated.
Details: Residential • 1-5 shrubs • 5-7 feet tall
