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.

No two patios need to be built the same way. Across Ballwin and surrounding communities, our crews have worked with replacement patios, paver permeable systems, patio expansions, drainage integration, and different paver layouts based on how the property and outdoor space need to function.
These recent projects show some of the patio configurations we’ve built across the area.
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.
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.
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 is planned into every installation. We account for pitch, runoff, grade, and water collection so the patio works with the surrounding yard.
We build new patios, replacements, permeable and conventional systems, using pavers from Unilock, Belgard, County Materials, and other proven manufacturers suited to the project.
Excel Landscaping brings 25+ years of hands-on hardscaping experience to paver patio installation across Ballwin and surrounding St. Louis County communities. As an Unilock Authorized Contractor, we combine manufacturer-backed product knowledge with field experience installing new patios, replacement patios, permeable systems, and projects where drainage, grading, or retaining walls also need to be considered.
We work with proven paver systems from Unilock, Belgard, County Materials, and other trusted manufacturers, with the same focus on base preparation, drainage, compaction, and finish quality from one property to the next.
Paver Patios are only one part of the outdoor work we complete across West County and the surrounding St. Louis area. Homeowners also come to us for retaining walls, drainage problems, landscaping, grade changes, and better connections through the yard.
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.
