The Bayou Story
Hey, I’m Chris Staimpel, I started this landscaping business with one simple goal: to leave every yard better than I found it—and to make sure you love the result as much as I do. I don’t leave a job site until the customer is satisfied, period. I’m meticulous (some might say overly particular), but that’s just who I am. Details matter to me, because your home deserves more than “just okay.”
I moved to Louisiana from Germany when I was 16, and let’s just say I brought that German precision with me. I grew up with a deep respect for doing things right the first time, and that’s what I bring to every project.
Whether it’s trimming palms to perfection, installing drainage that actually works (a big deal here in Louisiana), or turning a rough yard into a beautiful, functional space—you can count on us to deliver.
We also specialize in landscape lighting, using only top-quality brass and copper fixtures with lifetime warranties. If it’s not built to last, we don’t install it. The same goes for our pool renovations—we don’t cut corners, ever.
This business isn’t just a job for me. It’s personal. It’s your space, your home—and we treat it like our own.
01
Landscaping
Every project starts with a solid master plan. Whether it’s new construction on a clean slate of sand or an overhaul of an outdated yard, we handle everything from start to finish. That includes removing old grass and plant material, full demo and haul-off, and then building it back better with fresh garden soil, quality plantings, mulch options, drainage solutions, and custom lighting. We tailor every detail to fit your property and your vision.
02
Palm Tree Trimming
Palm trees require specialized care — and we know how to do it right. Our team understands common palm diseases and trims with precision to keep your trees healthy and looking sharp. We disinfect all tools between jobs to prevent the spread of disease, and we offer everything from quick cleanups to detailed diamond or pineapple cuts, depending on the palm species. We also deliver and professionally install palms of all sizes.
03
Hardscape Design
From classic backyard patios to complete poolside makeovers, we handle all aspects of hardscaping with precision and style. Whether you’re looking for pavers, flagstone, marble, or travertine, we build custom outdoor spaces that match your vision. Our services also include pool renovations, concrete work, outdoor kitchens, and fireplaces—bringing structure, function, and beauty together for a space that lasts.
