Spotlight On: Quiet Village Landscaping

Posted on Categories Blog

Based in St. Louis, Quiet Village Landscaping is a full-service custom landscape design and lawn care service company that has been providing the bi-state area with high-quality landscape design, hardscape, maintenance, bed maintenance and seasonal services since 2001. With a focus on sustainability and commitment to bringing clients’ visions to life with its unique processes, the Clean Air Partnership is pleased to shine a spotlight on the company for its green achievements that are having a positive impact on regional air quality and outdoor spaces across the region.

“Our passion lies in leading the way toward sustainability in green spaces,” said Dennis Evans, owner of Quiet Village Landscaping. “Over 2,300 native plants we installed will support local wildlife, thrive with minimal irrigation, and reduce use of harmful chemicals. Our drainage solutions protect local waterways, sustainably diverting thousands of gallons from overloading creeks and streams and proliferating best practice examples. And our commitment extends beyond our work. We engage in community projects to beautify public spaces and connect people and nature. At Quiet Village Landscaping, we believe that together, we can make a positive environmental impact.”

As a participant in the 2023 St. Louis Green Business Challenge at the Leader Level, Quiet Village Landscaping introduced additional native plants and provided ongoing maintenance for its Adopt-A-Highway beautification project and butterfly garden in Olivette, Missouri. The company also organized a volunteer team to lead park beautification efforts at the historic St. Louis Place Park, as well as coordinated a group training and volunteer event to complete edging, composting and mulching to support the growth of 15 young saplings at Dr. H. Phillip Venable Memorial Park. Furthermore, to help preserve the well-being of local waterways for the communities it serves, the company facilitated the design and installation of 19 drainage solutions projects, which effectively averted water damage.

Other impressive accomplishments during the Challenge included the installation of several automatic light sensors throughout four sections of the company’s office and a new water bottle filling station, in addition to providing new reusable water bottles to all staff members to reduce excess plastic waste. Additionally, Quiet Village Landscaping revamped its waste management procedures, recycling more than 2,500 yards of natural yard waste into compost and mulch and circulating over 175 pots. Team training was also implemented to reinforce the company’s commitment to removing invasive plants and replacing them with native alternatives, which also helped to improve air quality!
