We Build For Homeowners in Collinsville
Most outdoor living companies design a plan and then hand it to a subcontractor to lay the stone. We do not work that way. The same crew that draws up your custom space is the crew that installs every paver and retaining wall block.
Collinsville is a thriving, busy community, and whether you are a homeowner looking to upgrade your backyard or a business manager needing serious landscaping solutions, our team is equipped for the job. We focus on heavy duty construction, reliable drainage, and visually stunning outdoor architecture that holds up for decades.
Serving the Collinsville Community
From residential neighborhoods near Uptown Collinsville and the World's Largest Catsup Bottle out to properties neighboring the Cahokia Mounds area, we have worked all over this town. Because Collinsville blends great residential spaces with robust commercial activity near the Gateway Convention Center, we offer dual expertise. We build high end outdoor living for families and provide commercial grade hardscaping and landscaping for local businesses. We know the clay soils here and we know how to build a base that lasts.

Why JS Lawn
In-house Construction
We are not a middleman. Our own crew handles everything from the design to the final build. We do not subcontract out the labor.
Residential and Commercial
We have the equipment and the manpower to handle large scale commercial projects as effectively as detailed residential outdoor living spaces.
Engineered to Last
Proper base prep and drainage are non-negotiable for us. We dig out the weak topsoil and replace it with heavy aggregate rock so your patio will never sink.
Locally Owned
We live and operate in the Metro East. We care deeply about the work we do for our neighbors and the businesses in our community.
Our Service Area
Our crews serve Collinsville homeowners and businesses, and we also build extensively throughout Edwardsville, Glen Carbon, Maryville, Granite City, and Caseyville.
Collinsville questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What homeowners in Collinsville ask us most often.
Yes. We handle grounds maintenance and hardscape for businesses, offices, and subdivision common areas alongside the residential side. Commercial work runs differently: scheduled visits, a single point of contact, and work timed around your hours rather than ours.
First we work out how much water you are actually receiving, because the answer changes the whole design. Collinsville's bluff lots often catch runoff from several properties above them, which is far more water than a French drain will take. The usual answer is a combination: intercept it upslope, carry it in buried tile, and give it somewhere to discharge that is not your neighbour's yard.
It can, but the material choice matters more than it does on a new build. Modern smooth-faced pavers in a large format tend to fight a 1920s house. Tumbled pavers, clay brick, and natural stone in smaller formats sit far better against that era of architecture, and cost roughly the same.
Often yes, and it is usually the cheaper path. We can bring a patio up to and under a deck, tie in with steps, or set the patio at the deck's landing height so the two read as one space. If the deck is at the end of its life we will say so, because building a patio around framing you will replace in two years is money wasted.
The residential range here is wide because the housing stock is: a modest patio behind an Uptown bungalow and a full outdoor room in one of the newer subdivisions are different projects entirely. Commercial work is priced separately and depends on access and phasing. Either way, we quote after seeing the site.
Both. A lot of our Collinsville commercial clients are on year-round maintenance, and plenty of residential clients keep us for mowing and cleanups after we finish a build. Ongoing maintenance is also how joint sand and plantings actually survive their first few years.
Depends on the scope, and the answer differs for residential and commercial. We deal with the City directly and pull what is needed, and we JULIE-locate before we dig. For commercial sites we also confirm whether the work touches anything in a stormwater or parking easement, which is a common snag.
A crew, a machine, and a stone delivery on the driveway for the duration. We keep material on plywood rather than on turf, sweep the street at the end of each day, and let you know which day the loud work happens. On commercial sites we can stage the work so access stays open.
