Transform Your Yard & Help Rescue Dogs
When your backyard is where your family relaxes after work, hosts friends, and spends weekends together, it should feel like a useful extension of your home, not an unfinished space you keep meaning to address. Rescue Landscaping & Outdoor Living is the outdoor living contractor Des Peres, MO homeowners call for patios, decks, outdoor kitchens, lighting, drainage solutions, and complete backyard renovations that are planned around real life.
Des Peres is a close-knit community of established homes, active households, and highly used outdoor spaces. From neighborhoods near Manchester Road to homes around Des Peres Park, homeowners need hardscapes and plantings that look right with the property, handle Missouri weather, and make the backyard easier to enjoy. With more than 20 years of hands-on experience and 800+ completed projects across the St. Louis region, our team brings clear planning and careful construction to every project.
Every project also supports local rescue dogs through our work with Stray Rescue of St. Louis. Dog owners receive a project discount as a thank-you for helping that mission move forward.
A plan that fits an established property. Des Peres homes often have mature trees, settled grades, and outdoor areas that have evolved over time. We start by looking at the full site: how you move through it, where water travels, where shade falls, and how the new work should connect to the house. The result is not a collection of unrelated upgrades. It is a backyard designed to function as one space.
Outdoor living for everyday use. A patio should make weekday dinners easier. A deck should give you room for coffee, conversation, or a family gathering. An outdoor kitchen should put the cook in the middle of the event instead of inside the house. We design around how your household actually uses the yard, then build features that make those routines more comfortable.
Deck building informed by local conditions. As a deck builder in Des Peres, MO, we help homeowners compare wood and composite decking based on maintenance, appearance, sun exposure, and long-term use. Proper layout, drainage below the deck, footing depth, board spacing, and fastening matter in the St. Louis area’s clay soils and freeze-thaw conditions.
A patio contractor who thinks beyond the pavers. A paver patio is only as useful as its size, access, drainage, and relationship to the house. We plan the full area around it, including walkways, steps, lighting, planting beds, fire features, and seating zones, so that the patio becomes a natural place to spend time rather than a hard surface added after the fact.
Clear coordination from consultation through completion. We listen first, develop a workable design, manage the build, and keep you informed. When permits or approvals are needed, our team coordinates the required steps so the project can keep moving without leaving you to sort through the details alone.
A project with a local purpose. Your project improves the place where you live while helping provide food, shelter, and medical care for rescue dogs in the St. Louis area. That purpose is built into every project we take on.









From Vision to Reality
As a full-service outdoor living space contractor, Rescue Landscaping & Outdoor Living designs with purpose and builds with integrity.
We have designed our process to keep the project understandable from the first conversation to the final walkthrough.
Permits and local requirements. The City of Des Peres Building Division administers residential permit submittal, plan review, permitting, and inspections. We coordinate required permits and approvals so the project stays organized and compliant.
Materials for Missouri weather. We recommend materials that suit heat, humidity, rain, and winter freeze-thaw cycles. For decks, we can explain the maintenance differences between wood and composite so you can choose what fits your long-term plans.
Maintenance guidance that is useful. At completion, we explain the seasonal cleaning, sealing, inspection, and care steps that apply to your project. You should know what your new features need to keep performing well, not be left guessing.
Flexible design options. Every backyard has different constraints and priorities. We help you decide where it makes sense to invest first, whether that is drainage, a patio, a deck, an outdoor kitchen, or a complete outdoor living plan.
