What Makes a Front Yard Easasier to Maintain?

What Makes a Paver Patio Work With the Yard Around It?

Overgrown beds, weak edges, crowded plantings, and awkward grade changes can turn routine landscape maintenance into constant upkeep. We address those problems by improving the structure of the landscape first, defining planting areas, creating durable edges, selecting plantings that fit the space, and incorporating stone or retaining elements where the grade calls for them.

What We’re Seeing in Common Across Webster Groves Yards

Across the Webster Groves properties we work on, several conditions regularly influence how landscape improvements are planned, from older planting beds and mature vegetation to existing walkways and changes in grade.

Overgrown or Undefined Planting Beds

Older beds can become crowded, weed-heavy, or lose their separation from the lawn. Re-establishing those areas creates clearer boundaries and a stronger foundation for new plantings, mulch, stone, or edging.

Mature Landscaping Around Established Homes

Many properties already have mature trees, shrubs, walkways, and architectural features worth working around. New landscaping needs to fit those existing elements rather than treating the yard like an empty site.

Grade Changes Around Walkways and Planting Areas

Even modest elevation changes can affect how beds, walkways, edging, and retaining elements come together. We account for those transitions so the landscape follows the property naturally.

Homeowners Looking for Easier Upkeep

A common goal is reducing weeding, trimming, and bed maintenance while keeping the yard fully landscaped. As an Unilock and Keystone Authorized Contractor, we use proven materials that help create cleaner, easier-to-manage outdoor spaces.

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.

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.

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.

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

We handle landscape renovations, new plantings, natural stone edging, mulch and decorative stone, retaining-wall transitions, and landscaping that connects with walkways or other hardscape. The layout and materials are selected around the property, the existing conditions, and how the homeowner wants the finished yard to look and function.

If you’re planning a larger update, explore our landscape design and installation services to see how we bring planting, stone, grading, and hardscape together.

Need help planning your Webster Groves landscape? Talk to us and schedule a site assessment.

We use retaining walls where the grade needs to be organized, supported, or reshaped as part of the larger landscape. That can mean creating more defined planting areas, managing elevation changes beside walkways or lawns, or building a larger wall system where the slope requires more structure.

The wall is planned around the existing grade, drainage conditions, and the homeowner’s goals for the space, so it supports the landscape instead of feeling like a separate feature added afterward.

We design drainage around the actual source of the problem and how water moves across the property. Depending on the site, that can include French drains for saturated areas, catch basins for surface water, underground drainage for controlled routing, and downspout-to-PVC systems for roof runoff near the home.

The goal is to move water away from the areas where it is causing problems and give it a defined path through the property.
