Landscaping & Hardscaping in Ballwin, MO​

Ballwin is an important part of our West County service area, where existing grades, drainage patterns, and aging hardscape can all influence how a patio needs to be rebuilt. When pavers begin to settle or become uneven, the visible surface is only part of the problem.

Patio Renovation with Beldgar Piece Pavers

Across Ballwin and the surrounding communities, our crews have replaced failing patios, installed permeable paver systems, and built complete patio expansions. We integrate essential drainage and customize paver layouts based entirely on how your property and outdoor space need to function.

This recent project showcases the type of complete patio transformation we build across the area.

BEFORE

The 10-year-old paver patio behind this Ballwin home had settled and worn unevenly, with a raised level by the back door reached by worn stone steps.

AFTER

Two tiers of Belgard 3-piece pavers with a dark border, split by a block retaining wall and joined by new steps, give this Ballwin backyard two even, usable levels.

Building the Outdoor Space Around It

A paver patio can become the foundation for a much larger outdoor living space. Depending on the property and how the homeowner wants to use the yard, we can coordinate the patio with fire pits, steps, retaining walls, landscape lighting, seating areas, and changes in grade.

Our crews plan those elements together so the elevations, drainage installation, access, and materials work as one connected space rather than a collection of separate additions.

Whether we are rebuilding an existing patio or creating a new layout, the goal is to make the hardscape work with the rest of the backyard and the way the homeowners actually want to use it. 

Our installations are backed by a 3-year workmanship warranty.

What We’re Seeing Around Ballwin Patios

Across Ballwin and West County, we work with patios affected by settlement, drainage, aging bases, changing grades, and layouts that no longer fit how the yard is used. Our crews are familiar with new installations, full replacements, permeable systems, and paver patios that connect with steps, retaining walls, lawns, and other hardscape.

Settled or Uneven Pavers

When sections of a patio sink or shift, replacing individual pavers may only address the visible symptom. We look at the base, compaction, grade, and drainage underneath before determining the right way to rebuild the surface.

Drainage Around the Patio

Drainage is planned into every installation. We account for pitch, runoff, grade, and water collection so the patio works with the surrounding yard.

Different Patio Builds & Configurations

We build new patios, replacements, permeable and conventional systems, using pavers from Unilock, Belgard, County Materials, and other proven manufacturers suited to the project.

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.

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.

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!

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.

We’re very happy with how our project turned out. The crew removed some old garden beds and installed a small retaining wall. The work was done well and Joe was friendly and easy to work with!

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's

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. When pavers begin settling or shifting, we look beyond the visible surface at the base, compaction, grade, and drainage that support the patio. Where replacement is needed, the existing surface can be removed so those conditions are corrected before the new paver system is installed.

Yes. Drainage planning is part of every paver patio installation we complete. We account for grade, pitch, runoff, base preparation, and where water needs to move before the finished surface goes down.

For properties with broader water problems, we also install French drains, catch basins, underground drainage, and downspout-to-PVC systems, allowing the patio and surrounding drainage to be planned together.

Yes. We build patios as part of larger outdoor spaces that can incorporate fire pits, retaining walls, steps, lighting, seating areas, and changing elevations. Planning these elements together helps the layout, drainage, access, and materials work as one connected space.
