Square Fire Pits

We are a Landscape Design-Build company with 46 years of quality workmanship and satisfied clients in the St. Louis metro area and beyond. What sets us apart from other landscape companies is our deliberate goal of providing the best quality of workmanship with your budget in mind. We find genuine enjoyment remaining a local artisan like company, focused on quality. Most all the plants are personally selected by the owners Rick and Joe. At 12 years old (1966) Rick got his first job at a nursery in Florissant. After graduating high school he became supervisor of the retail side of that nursery. After becoming bored with the retail aspect, he asked the owner to try the installation side of the business as a laborer. It didn’t take him long after that to becoming foreman of his own installation crew. His demanding insistence on doing the job right and beautiful the first time escalated into the formation of Hente Gardens, Inc. in 1979. Rick is very knowledgeable on just about everything landscape related – Just try to find something he doesn’t have the answer to. Rick will be very involved during the install ensuring the end result is what you want. Outside of landscaping, you can find Rick flying RC planes, volunteering every Tuesday at St. Luke’s Hospital, and involved within his church.

Founded in 2012, we provide our clients with design and installation expertise in paver patios, retaining walls, water features, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, firepits, fireplaces, and landscaping. We take great pride in all of our clients' projects and our quality craftsmanship. Our goal is to ensure all of our clients are satisfied. Edgar Banuelos oversees the team. He worked in the industry for over 20 years prior to starting Dreamscapes Outdoor Services. He started his career at a nursery and progressed to several companies after that. Edgar has always been eager to learn more and perfect his craft. A few years ago he went back to school and graduated as a certified landscape designer. No matter the size of the project he is working on, he feels fortunate that he gets to do what he loves. We invite you to reach out to us today to discuss your project in more detail!
