“Cottage Builders hired Rost Landscaping to perform all landscaping and irrigation work, to include the construction of several retaining walls and drainage systems. We were extremely pleased with the quality of work performed by Rost, Inc., their ability to work on a crowded site with numerous other subcontractors, and their ability to work within a compressed time schedule. The crews that worked on our job performed the work in an unusually professional and dedicated manner. They were able to quickly and rather easily adapt to several changes made in late stages of the job. Based on my experience, I would recommend Rost Landscaping without hesitation to anyone in need of a commercial landscape/irrigation contractor in the Missouri area. As I have indicated, they were and remain to be among the top subcontractors that I and many others within our organization have worked with.”

“Both the County and the community could not be more pleased with the design and overall renovations of the Plaza  In order to accommodate the annual Veterans Day Celebration, the project was held to a strict, short timeline. Impressively, Rost completed the Veterans area ahead of the deadline, providing and renovated Veterans area that enhanced the celebration. During the course of the renovations, unanticipated problems were discovered. They Rost staff and subcontractors were more than accommodating when these problems arose, working with the County to remedy the problems while being mindful of time and budge constraints. Rost was also very flexible when the County wanted to make adjustments to the original plans or add additional features. The finished Courthouse Plaza has far exceeded the expectations of Boone County and the community. I would strongly recommend Rost Landscaping to anyone wishing to create a significant, very public, and welcoming landscape.”

~Karen M. Miller, District I Commissioner, Boone County Commission

“The landscape at BHC looks wonderful.  I received and overheard many compliments on the site work last night at the opening and I let everyone know that the high quality appearance came from your company.  You used good quality matched material, detailed the plant and boulder placement well and installed everything per plan with good workmanship and attention to detail.  I do not think that any other Mid-Missouri landscape company could have accomplished this project with such detail and quality.  The Hospital staff and trustees were very happy with the end product.  Thanks for everything that you did to make it a success.”

“Rost Landscaping has worked with Midway Arms for over 20 years.  They designed our first employee break area in 1989 and since have provided everything from landscaping design, planting and maintenance.  When ‘Midway USA campus’ expanded from one building to two, the continuity of the landscaping design was essential, so we asked Rost to draw the design to coordinate with the work they had done on the first building.  That design was then put out for bid.  Rost’s bid was chosen and that work was completed.  As we have needed repairs, replacements, or minor revisions to the existing plantings, Rost was always chosen to do that work.  The third building of the campus is nearing completion and the landscaping design was delivered by Rost this week.  Their designers understand our preferred trees and plants and try to incorporate those where possible.  They are easy to work with and very professional.  I personally hired them to do a major rework of landscaping at my home.  The design was fresh and made the home look new.  Their people are such a pleasure to work with, that I then hired them to do routing maintenance – providing weeding, watering, and colorful seasonal plantings.  I have full faith in their ability to do a good job at a competitive price in a timely manner.”

“Tim, this letter is long overdue but as I look and admire my front and backyard every day, I couldn’t let another day pass by without thanking you for such an incredible job.  You, Dale and the Rost Landscaping team far exceeded my expectations.  Your team was instrumental in the design of some very intricate landscaping and hardscape,  and frankly, it was an incredible experience.  From the very first time we met to discuss the project, you were attentive to our needs and provided us plenty of suggestions and direction in the design we had envisioned.  You were timely in getting back to us, came in under budget, and to say the least, the front and back yards are spectacular.  Your crew worked tirelessly, cleaned up after themselves every day, and the work was completed on time.  I would highly recommend Rost Landscaping, and as you know, I am very proud to show the finished project…  In a day when service seems to be a lost art, Rost Landscaping has shown that hard work and excellent service is achievable!”

~Arthur W. Johnson | President & CEO | AAA Missouri, St. Louis

“We knew we wanted an outdoor living space, but didn’t know where to begin.  A colleague recommended Rost Landscaping, and from the moment we met with the landscape-designer, we have been impressed with their attention to detail and high-quality reliable work.  They have created a wonderful space that blends with the historical architecture of the house and enhances the natural beauty of the surrounding trees.  The outdoor kitchen area is both sleek and functional, and the entertaining space contains gracious design elements, making it an inviting area to gather with friends and family.  We are just thrilled with how the patio turned out, and  would highly recommend Rost for their superior landscaping work.”
