Most outdoor projects start with a goal, more usable space, better drainage, improved curb appeal, or a place to gather with family and friends. The challenge is finding the right solution for the property. That’s why every project begins with understanding the site conditions before recommending the best path forward.
The right combination of hardscaping features can solve multiple problems at once. A custom paver patio can create more usable living space, a retaining wall can reclaim a sloped backyard, drainage improvements can eliminate standing water, and landscape lighting extends the enjoyment of your outdoor space long after the sun goes down. The result is a backyard that not only looks better but functions better every day.
Every project tells a different story. See how Excel Landscaping has solved drainage challenges, built retaining walls, installed patios, and created outdoor living spaces for homeowners throughout St. Louis.
Excel Landscaping helps homeowners solve the site challenges that often stand between an idea and a successful project. From drainage and grading to retaining walls, patios, and outdoor living spaces, our team focuses on finding the right solution for the property rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.
Successful projects come from clear communication, thoughtful planning, quality craftsmanship, and a team that takes pride in the finished product.
Every project includes a site assessment, a drainage plan, and a crew that doesn’t leave until the work looks right
Strong, attractive retaining walls designed to prevent erosion and add structure.
Tailored designs blending greenery and hardscapes to suit your style.
Most outdoor projects don’t fail because of the materials. They fail because of poor installation techniques, and construction details that weren’t addressed from the beginning. Our process is designed to identify those issues early, build them correctly, and give homeowners the confidence that comes with a 3-year workmanship warranty.

We look at access, grade, tree roots, existing concrete, drainage, and how the new space connects to your home before we recommend a solution.
Showing up, communicating, protecting the property, and walking the finished work before we leave are part of the job — not extras.

“Our paver patio at 10 years old was showing its age with sinking pavers around the perimeter. Joe and his crew dug out the old pavers and the old sand base, replaced it with the appropriate gravel and reset new pavers. They look great. Joe scheduled our work at least 6 weeks out, then showed up exactly as scheduled….”
