Missouri's landscape is shaped by its continental climate, featuring hot summers and cold winters. In Springfield and O'Fallon, this means selecting materials and designs that can withstand significant temperature swings and humidity.
Missouri's climate presents a dual challenge for landscape timbers: intense summer heat and humidity, followed by freezing winter temperatures. Materials must be chosen for their resistance to both rot and cracking. We utilize timbers engineered for durability in these conditions, ensuring they maintain their integrity as retaining walls, garden borders, or decorative elements. Understanding local soil composition and drainage patterns in areas like Springfield is also critical for proper timber installation and longevity.
