Ricosa Landscaping | Best Wood and Vinyl Fencing in Saint Louis, MO

For Saint Louis's humid summers and freeze-thaw winters, we often recommend pressure-treated pine, cedar, or composite decking. Composite materials like Trex offer excellent durability and low maintenance, resisting warping and rot. Cedar is naturally resistant to insects and decay, while pressure-treated wood is a cost-effective option. We help you choose based on your budget, style, and how much upkeep you prefer.

We can assess the damage and often repair sections rather than replace the entire fence. Common issues like rotted posts, loose pickets, or sagging gates are usually fixable. However, if the structural integrity is compromised across many panels, a replacement may be more cost-effective. We'll provide an honest evaluation and recommend the best solution for your property in Saint Louis.

Proper drainage is critical for any hardscape project in Saint Louis due to our clay soils. For retaining walls, we install a gravel base and perforated drainage pipe behind the wall to relieve hydrostatic pressure. For patios, we ensure a proper slope away from your home's foundation and use compacted base materials. This prevents water pooling, frost heave, and long-term damage to your new structure.
