Brandon Wilmes didn't plan on building a business—he just wanted to earn summer money mowing lawns as a teenager. But word spread fast in Maryville. Neighbors started calling, then their friends, then people a few towns over. What started with a push mower and a truck turned into Wilmes Lawn Care in 2015. Ten years later, we're still doing what we did back then: showing up on time, doing clean work, and treating every property like it matters.
We own our equipment—excavators, graders, mowers, and everything in between. That means we don't wait on rentals or subcontractors to finish your project. We handle lawn care, landscaping, excavation, drainage, and hardscapes all in-house. You call one number, work with one crew, and get the job done faster. We've been licensed and insured since day one because that's how you run a real business in northwest Missouri.

Owner & Operator
Brandon started Wilmes Lawn Care in 2015 and handles everything from project planning to equipment operation. He grew up in Maryville and knows the soil, weather, and what works around here. You'll talk to him directly when you call—no call centers, no runaround.

We handle everything your lawn needs—mowing, trimming, edging, and seasonal cleanups. Regular maintenance keeps your grass healthy and your property looking sharp all year. Whether you need weekly cuts or monthly touch-ups, we show up on time and get it done right.

We design landscapes that fit your property and your vision. From plant selection to layout, we build outdoor spaces that look great and last. You get a yard that adds value to your home and makes you want to spend time outside.

We move dirt, grade land, and prep sites for new construction or landscaping projects. Proper grading prevents water problems and sets up your property for long-term success. Our equipment handles small residential jobs and larger commercial work.

Retaining walls hold back soil, create usable space, and add structure to sloped yards. We build walls that handle pressure and drainage while improving your property's look. You get function and curb appeal in one project.

Patios, walkways, and outdoor living spaces make your yard more functional. We install pavers, stone, and other materials that hold up to weather and foot traffic. Hardscapes give you a place to gather without the maintenance of grass.

We plant trees, shrubs, and ground cover that thrive in Missouri soil and climate. The right plants in the right spots mean less work for you and better results year-round. We handle the full install from soil prep to final planting.

Standing water ruins lawns and damages foundations. We install French drains, catch basins, and grading solutions that move water away from problem areas. Your yard stays dry, and your home stays protected.

We clear, level, and prep sites for new builds, additions, or landscape projects. Clean site prep makes every other step easier and prevents future headaches. Whether it's a new driveway or garden bed, we get the groundwork done right.

Dead or dangerous trees need to come down safely. We remove trees of all sizes and grind stumps below ground level so you can replant or build. Your property stays safe, and you get the space back.

Landscapes need attention through every season—spring cleanups, summer pruning, fall leaf removal. We keep beds mulched, plants trimmed, and your property looking maintained. Regular care prevents small problems from turning into expensive fixes.

Healthy grass starts with the right nutrients at the right time. We apply fertilizer treatments that strengthen roots, prevent weeds, and keep your lawn thick and green. You get better results than big-box store products without the guesswork.

Winter storms don't wait for business hours. We clear driveways, sidewalks, and parking lots so you can get moving fast. Reliable snow removal means fewer delays and safer access all season long.

You Call, We Listen
When you reach out, we ask questions about your property, what you want done, and what problems you're trying to solve. If we need to see the site in person, we schedule a time that works for you. You get a clear estimate before any work starts—no guessing, no pressure.
We Plan and Prep
Once you approve the estimate, we lock in your schedule and gather the equipment and materials needed for your project. We show up when we say we will, ready to work. If weather or site conditions change the plan, we tell you right away and adjust.
We Finish and Follow Through
We complete the work, clean up the site, and walk through the finished project with you. If something's not right, we fix it. You shouldn't have to chase us down or wonder if the job's done. When we leave, your property looks the way it should.

Yes. We'll come take a look at your property, listen to what you want done, and give you a clear estimate with no pressure. Estimates help us understand the scope and give you an accurate number before we start any work.
Most lawns around here need mowing once a week during spring and early summer when grass grows fast. Late summer and fall, you can usually stretch it to every 10 days. We can set up a schedule that keeps your yard looking clean without overdoing it or letting it get out of hand.
Yes. We've done everything from basic lawn maintenance on single-family homes to excavation and drainage work on larger properties. Our equipment and crew size let us scale up or down depending on what the job needs.
We are. We carry the proper licenses and insurance coverage to protect your property and our team. That's standard for us—it's how you run a real business. You shouldn't hire anyone in this industry who doesn't have both.
Spring and fall work best for planting because temperatures are mild and plants establish easier. Hardscapes like patios and retaining walls can go in almost any time, but we prefer cooler months so concrete and stone set properly. We'll recommend timing based on your specific project.
Yes. We handle tree removal and stump grinding for trees of all sizes. Dead trees, storm damage, or trees in the way of new construction—we take care of it safely and grind stumps below ground so you can replant or use the space however you want.
Call or text us at (660) 254-4225, or email [email protected]. We'll talk through what you need, schedule a time to look at the property if needed, and get you on the calendar. We're open Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm.
