Outdoor living, designed and built by one crew

Custom paver patios, outdoor fireplaces, kitchens, and retaining walls for Granite City and the Metro East. No subcontractors, no handoffs.

Built on a base that outlasts the winters

Eight to twelve inches of compacted aggregate, real drainage, and joints that stay tight. The part you cannot see is where a patio lasts or fails.

Lawn care and landscaping, under one roof

Weekly maintenance, treatments, and seasonal cleanups alongside full design-build. The same people who build your patio can look after it.

Granite City, Illinois

The crew that draws it is the crew that builds it

Most outdoor living companies sell you a design and hand it to whichever subcontractor is free that month. We do not work that way.

JS Lawn & Landscaping is a family-run design-build contractor based on Sunbury Ave in Granite City. Everything from the first sketch to the last sweep of the broom is handled by our own crew, which is the only reliable way to keep quality consistent and keep anyone from pointing fingers when something goes wrong.

We work across the Metro East on everything from a weekly mow to a full outdoor room with a fireplace and kitchen. The standard does not change with the size of the job.

Why homeowners hire us

What actually makes a difference

Four things separate work that still looks right in ten years from work that looks right for one season.

The base, not the surface

We excavate eight to twelve inches, bring in the right aggregate, and compact it in layers. Almost every failed patio in the Metro East failed underneath.

Water gets somewhere to go

Heavy clay and flat lots mean drainage is not optional. We pitch the grade, tie in downspouts, and run drain tile before anything decorative gets built.

One crew, start to finish

No subcontractors. You deal with the owners, and the same faces are on your property every day until it is finished.

Built for freeze and thaw

Geogrid in the walls, clean drainage stone behind them, polymeric joints in the field. Illinois winters break anything built to a warmer standard.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

The questions we get before most projects start.

We are based in Granite City and work across the Metro East, principally Granite City, Edwardsville, Glen Carbon, Collinsville, Maryville, and Caseyville. There is no travel charge inside that area.

Both. The business started in lawn maintenance and still runs weekly mowing, treatments, and seasonal cleanups. The design-build side handles patios, walls, fireplaces, kitchens, and drainage. A lot of clients use us for a build and then keep us on for maintenance.

No. The consultation and the estimate are free. We come out, walk the property, talk through what you want, and give you a real number rather than a range over the phone.

No. Design and construction are both handled in-house by our own crew. The people who plan your space are the people who build it, which is the main reason quality stays consistent from the first sketch to the final cleanup.

Autumn is better than most people assume. The ground is workable, the calendar is less compressed than spring, and finishing in autumn means the space is ready the moment the weather turns. Spring and early summer book out well in advance.

It depends on size, materials, access, and how much drainage work the yard needs. Straightforward patios generally start in the low five figures. Full outdoor living spaces with seating walls and a fire feature or kitchen run into the mid five figures and above. We price it after seeing the property.
