Excel Landscaping works with homeowners across St. Louis and surrounding St. Louis County communities on retaining walls, paver patios, drainage, landscape design, walkways, grading, and connected outdoor improvements.
Our local crew brings 25+ years of combined hands-on experience, with completed projects across properties ranging from steep slopes and drainage problems to patio replacements and full landscape renovations.
Our crews have worked across retaining walls, patios, drainage, grading, walkways, and landscape installation throughout St. Louis and surrounding communities. That experience matters when one part of the property affects another, such as drainage around a patio, grade beside a walkway, or landscaping around a new retaining wall.
Excel Landscaping is a Keystone Authorized Contractor and Unilock Authorized Contractor, and our installations are backed by a 3-year workmanship warranty.
Different properties require different combinations of work. Our crews handle the hardscape, drainage, grading, and landscaping components that often need to work together rather than stopping at a single feature.
Manage slopes, replace deteriorating walls, create usable yard space, and organize changes in elevation.
Build new outdoor living areas or replace aging surfaces with base preparation, grading, and drainage considered from the start.
Address roof runoff, standing water, erosion, low areas, and water moving around hardscape or the home.
Coordinate planting beds, stone, edging, walkways, grade, and surrounding hardscape around the property.
Homeowners have reviewed our work across landscaping, retaining walls, patios, drainage, and connected outdoor projects, with feedback covering planning, communication, workmanship, crews, and finished results.

We couldn't be more thrilled with our new fire pit! Joe and his crew took an unused corner of our Frontenac, MO backyard and turned it into a cozy place to unwind and spend time with family and friends. Their careful craftsmanship is obvious in every detail. If you're thinking about adding a fire pit or taking on any landscaping project, I highly recommend them.Posted on Google![]()

I wanted to give a shout out to Joe from Excel Landscaping for the excellent hardscape job his company did for us. Joe is very personable and want to make sure that you are pleased with the final product before ever asking for any payment. His crew was professional, extremely hard working and very easy to work with as the project progressed.Posted on Google![]()

I had a drainage issue around the back side of my house along with an above ground drainage pipe that was needing to be buried under existing concrete. Joe came to check out the situation and provided thorough recommendations. His customer first and charismatic attitude, coupled with his deep knowledge of landscaping is what led me to selecting him for the job. He and his team did an outstanding job completing the work, succeeding my expectations. I will continue to rely on Joe for future landscaping jobs and would highly recommend him to others. Thanks!Posted on Google![]()

My recent experience with Excel Landscaping was a tremendously positive encounter. Joe was so easy to work with, he listened and understood my concerns after having past dealings with a dishonest contractor. The communication was on point and he was quick to respond to text or calls. He clearly explained what steps were to be taken, he offered suggestions, and quoted very fair reasonable prices. His crew, we're extremely quick and efficient, and did an exceptional job cleaning up after the work was completed. I highly recommend Excel Landscaping and will be using them for any future projects I my have and will be referring them to friends and family. Thank you Joe for your quality work and professionalism.Posted on Google![]()

Joe and crew showed up as promised and were so friendly and respectful of the property. Every detail was fully explained and end result on my new pretty retaining wall was perfect. They went the extra mile to grade and restore the yard after the equipment to deliver the blocks and sand and gravel tore up the grass a bit. I would highly recommend this company for any hardscape or landscape project'sPosted on Google![]()
