"Our company is unique because we have three separate divisions that work synergistically to transform your entire home, inside and out," said Bob Mosby, owner of Kirkwood Home & Landscape + Julie's Garden Design. "We don't just focus on one part of the home; we integrate our three divisions – remodeling, hardscaping, and gardening – to create a seamless flow between the interior and exterior."
Bob and Julie, the husband and wife owners of Kirkwood Home & Landscape + Julie's Garden Design, adopt a holistic approach when working with their clients. This means homeowners can avoid dealing with multiple contractors for various projects.
"Our favorite projects are those where all three of our divisions are involved," said Bob. In particular, Bob and Julie are drawn to old homes that need total renovation. In fact, they served as both homeowner and contractor on the last three old Kirkwood homes they lived in and completely remodeled. "By applying the same approach we used in our homes, we help clients reimagine their entire space. It's not just about updating a kitchen or adding a room addition; we focus on how the whole home can be transformed specifically for the family living there."
Understanding how families will live in space is an essential first step that Bob takes very seriously. "We begin by ensuring we are the right fit for their vision and that our values and design approach align with their goals," said Bob. "It's a bit like a first date, where we ask a lot of questions to see if we're all on the same page."
Those quizzical conversations provide pathways for guidance, inspiration, and innovation, particularly regarding outdoor hardscapes.
Bob explains, "Stormwater management is a big issue in Kirkwood and one where we offer a lot of expertise." Bob said his team can help homeowners and home builders with Kirkwood's city-mandated water management systems by offering innovative solutions to redirect water flowing into a property. "We have innovative ways to build swales, dry creek beds, and rain gardens to move the water along without creating a nuisance for the next neighbor." A dry well is an underground well that catches the rainwater from the house, stores it briefly, and allows the water to slowly percolate into the soil. The alternate technique is a rain garden, which captures and diverts the water to a specially prepared garden with water-loving native plants. Bob explained that rain gardens are often preferred because of the cost savings and added benefit of adding a beautiful native garden to a yard.
Whether it's water gardens, paver patios, room additions, or remodels —if your home needs a transformation, Kirkwood Home & Landscape + Julies's Gardens offers the synergy of three services provided by one unique pair of business owners.
