A garden is not just planted. It is conceived, composed, and crafted to reflect the people who live with it every day. Faust Landscaping & Design creates original, deeply personal gardens for Bernie, MO homeowners who want their outdoor spaces to be as thoughtfully designed as the interiors of their homes.
A great garden begins long before the first plant goes in the ground. It begins with a conversation, a question, and careful listening. What do you want to feel when you step outside? Do you want a serene retreat that pulls you away from the pace of daily life, or a vibrant, fragrant space that energizes your mornings? Do you need room for children to run, space for vegetables to thrive, or a formal garden that makes a statement from the street?
At Faust Landscaping & Design, our garden design process is built around your answers to exactly these kinds of questions. We design for real people with real lives, not for magazine spreads that nobody actually maintains. Every garden we create for Bernie, MO homeowners is calibrated for both beauty and practicality, gorgeous in its design and realistic in what it takes to keep it looking that way.
Our designers bring botanical knowledge, design training, and deep familiarity with the Bernie, MO climate and soil conditions to every project. We know which plants thrive here, which ones struggle, and how to compose plant combinations that look spectacular through multiple seasons. We also understand how light moves through a yard across the day and year, and how soil preparation and amendment create the foundation for long-term plant health.
From small courtyard gardens to expansive estate landscapes, from contemporary minimalist compositions to lush cottage-style abundance, we design gardens at every scale and in every style with equal attention and care.
We never reuse design templates. Every garden plan we create is drawn from scratch specifically for your Bernie, MO property, your tastes, and your way of living outdoors.
Our plant palette is built around varieties that perform reliably in Bernie, MO conditions. We balance seasonal interest, color, texture, height, and maintenance requirements in every planting plan.
You receive a complete design package including a scaled planting plan, plant list with specifications, and phasing recommendations if you prefer to implement the garden in stages.
Our designers oversee installation to ensure that what was drawn becomes what is planted. There is no disconnect between the plan and the result because our design and installation teams work together seamlessly.
Whether your taste runs classical or contemporary, naturalistic or structured, we design gardens that feel completely at home on your Bernie, MO property and authentically reflective of your personal aesthetic.
Romantic, abundant, and intentionally unstructured. Cottage gardens layer flowering perennials, climbing roses, and soft foliage into a tapestry of color and fragrance that peaks in summer and carries interest into autumn.
Clean geometry, restrained plant palettes, and carefully chosen materials define modern garden design. These spaces achieve drama through simplicity, with bold structural plants set against refined hardscaping and generous negative space.
Rooted in principles of harmony, balance, and contemplative calm, Japanese garden design uses stone, gravel, water features, moss, and carefully shaped evergreens to create spaces that invite stillness and reflection.
Designed around plants indigenous to the Bernie, MO region, naturalistic gardens support local pollinators, require minimal watering once established, and create a seamless visual connection between the cultivated garden and the natural landscape.
A beautifully designed kitchen garden integrates vegetables, herbs, edible flowers, and fruit within a structured and visually appealing layout. We design productive spaces that are as ornamental as they are functional.
Symmetry, clipped hedges, geometric beds, and specimen plants anchor formal garden designs that make a powerful statement from both the street and the home's primary windows, elevating the overall character of your Bernie, MO property.
A complete garden design from Faust Landscaping & Design addresses every layer of your outdoor space, from the soil up, ensuring a cohesive and beautiful outcome at every level of the landscape.
We select and position herbaceous perennials that provide sequential bloom interest from early spring through late autumn. Our planting compositions account for height layering, color harmony, and the way each plant evolves through the seasons so your garden looks intentional at every time of year.
The structural layer of a garden is what gives it architecture and presence in all seasons. We design with specimen trees, flowering shrubs, and evergreen forms that define space, provide privacy, frame views, and create the enduring backbone that garden beds grow around.
Containers, raised planters, and feature arrangements near entrances and entertaining areas allow us to create dramatic seasonal displays and concentrated focal points. We design container schemes that complement the broader garden and can be refreshed with seasonal changes throughout the year.
We guide Bernie, MO homeowners through a clear, collaborative process that moves from conversation to concept to completed garden with confidence at every step.

Planning a garden for the first time brings many questions. Here are thoughtful answers to the three we hear most often from homeowners across Bernie, MO.
Choosing a garden style starts with two things: your personal taste and your property's existing character. A cottage garden sitting against a sleek contemporary home creates visual confusion, while a formal garden in front of a relaxed farmhouse can feel stiff and uninviting. During our initial consultation, we look carefully at your home's architectural style, your existing plantings, and how your outdoor space is used before discussing design direction. We also look at images together to understand what resonates with you and what does not. Many Bernie, MO homeowners arrive with a vague sense of what they want and leave with a clear and confident design direction after just one conversation with our team. Style is never imposed. It is discovered together through dialogue and observation.
In Bernie, MO, the ideal windows for garden installation are spring and early autumn, when soil temperatures are favorable for root establishment and plants are not stressed by summer heat or winter cold. However, the design process itself can begin at any time of year, and we actively encourage homeowners to start planning in late winter or early autumn so that all decisions are made in advance and installation can proceed as soon as conditions are optimal. Waiting until spring to begin thinking about a garden often results in delays and rushed decisions. By having your design finalized and plant list sourced before the planting season, we can move quickly and take full advantage of the ideal planting window in Bernie, MO without any unnecessary scrambling.
We design with your actual maintenance commitment in mind. At the start of every project, we ask how much time you realistically want to spend in the garden each week and how much you are willing to invest in ongoing professional maintenance. From those answers, we build a plant palette and a design structure that aligns with that reality. A naturalistic planting of well-chosen native perennials and grasses may need only a few hours of attention each season. A formal garden with clipped hedges and structured beds requires more frequent attention to stay sharp. We are honest with every Bernie, MO homeowner about what different design choices mean in terms of upkeep, and we offer our own seasonal maintenance programs so that any garden we design can be properly cared for by our team if you prefer a fully hands-off ownership experience.
