Patios, drainage, grade, and the connection between the home and yard all influence how an outdoor space should be built. Our local crew brings 25+ years of hands-on experience helping Kirkwood homeowners plan paver patios, drainage, landscaping, and hardscaping around the property as a whole.

A successful patio starts with more than choosing the paver. The existing grade, where water moves, how the patio connects to the home, and what needs to support the finished surface all influence the installation. Our Kirkwood work shows how those considerations can come together in a patio designed for both outdoor living and the conditions of the property.
Excel Landscaping brings 25+ years of hands-on hardscaping experience to paver patio installation, including work with Unilock, County Materials, and Belgard systems across a range of patio styles and site conditions. As an Unilock Authorized Contractor, we bring added product knowledge to the selection and installation process, while our 3-year workmanship warranty reinforces the standards behind the finished work.
That experience helps us guide homeowners toward paver systems that fit the project, the property, and the way the space will be used.
Here are three paver manufacturers we work with:
As an Unilock Authorized Contractor, we can help homeowners compare styles, textures, colors, and formats while planning the patio around the surrounding home, layout, drainage, and intended use.
We’ve installed County Materials Majestic pavers on multiple outdoor-living projects, including patio installations where drainage and water movement had to be considered as part of the design.
We’ve also installed Belgard paver systems on patio replacement projects where the existing surface needed to be removed, the grade corrected, and the base rebuilt before the new pavers were installed.
Every paver patio installation includes drainage planning as part of the project. We account for grade, pitch, base preparation, runoff, and where water needs to move before the finished pavers go down.
Depending on the property, that may include:
Our drainage experience also extends beyond patio construction. Excel Landscaping installs French drains, catch basins, downspout-to-PVC systems, underground drainage, and other solutions for standing water, runoff, and problem areas around the property.
Our Kirkwood work is part of a broader portfolio across central and western St. Louis County. These nearby projects show how our crews have approached drainage, patios, landscaping, grade changes, and outdoor access under different property conditions.
They can be when the property and drainage conditions support the system. A permeable patio allows water to move through the joints and prepared aggregate layers rather than relying entirely on surface runoff.
Every patio needs a plan for water movement, although that does not necessarily mean a separate drain is required. Grade, patio pitch, surrounding runoff, soil conditions, and where water can safely discharge all influence the appropriate approach.
We install paver patios in Kirkwood based on the property, how the homeowner wants to use the space, and the site conditions that need to be addressed before construction begins.
Our portfolio includes permeable paver patios and conventional paver installations, using systems from manufacturers such as Unilock, County Materials, and Belgard. We select the paver system around the layout, grade, drainage, and finished look so the patio works with the property as a whole.
