Set on compacted base, not on turf
Trenched, base laid and compacted, stones bedded and leveled to each other. It is the same principle as a wall, in miniature.

A stone border does two unglamorous jobs: it stops turf creeping into the bed, and it holds the mulch or rock in when it rains. It also happens to be the single most visible line in a front yard. Set on loose soil the stones rock, tip and drift out of line within a season, so the base and the setting are what separate a border that still looks laid from one that looks scattered.

Curves get laid out and looked at from the street before a single stone is set. Sweeping curves look deliberate; wobbly ones look accidental.
Where it makes sense, the border sits so a mower wheel can ride it and cut the edge clean, which saves you the string-trimming pass entirely.
Soil and mulch packed behind, turf tucked in front, so nothing undercuts the stone the first time it storms.
Most of our customers book two or three of these together — it is cheaper than separate visits and it all gets done the same day.
Booked most often in these communities — and available in all 64 we cover.
Mostly natural stone and manufactured block, which is what you see through our gallery — it lasts, it looks like it belongs, and individual pieces can be reset. We also cut clean spaded edges where a stone border is not wanted, though that is a look you refresh each year rather than a permanent install.
It lasts far longer. Plastic edging heaves out of the ground over a couple of KC winters and ends up wandering above the mulch line, which is why so much of what we remove is plastic edging. Stone is more up front and then it is done.
Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs we do. Often it is paired with re-cutting the bed line and fresh mulch in the same visit, since the bed has to be opened up anyway.
The person who walks your property and gives you the price is the person doing the work — five years of it across this metro. Nothing is handed to a subcontractor and nothing is quoted by someone who will never see the job. If any part of the finished work is not what we agreed, tell us and we come back and put it right. That is the whole guarantee, and it is easy to stand behind when one person is accountable for every job.
