History of Ideal Landscape Group

30 Years and Still Going Strong

Founded by current president Dave Buckel in 1985, the company started from a one-man operation in the early days until eventual incorporation as Dave’s Lawn & Landscape Services, Inc. The company operated profitably for many years taking on residential and commercial turf maintenance and landscape installation projects.

As demand for commercial landscape projects increased, Dave’s Lawn & Landscape Services decided to switch its focus from residential to high-end grounds maintenance services. After our capabilities and credentials steadily grew, the need arose to create a brand that our customers could identify with and one that could take us into the future. In 2003 we became Ideal Landscape Group and continue today to operate as one of St. Louis’ most trusted landscape management company.
