Wildwood’s varied terrain and changing grades can shape how walkways, retaining walls, drainage, and landscaping need to be planned. Excel Landscaping builds those elements around the property so access, elevation, water movement, and the finished outdoor space work together. Wildwood’s own planning documents recognize terrain ranging from relatively flat areas to steep slopes and sensitive landforms throughout the community.

Excel Landscaping brings 25+ years of combined hands-on experience to projects where walkways, retaining walls, grading, and drainage need to work together. As an Unilock Authorized Contractor and Keystone Authorized Contractor, we bring proven product knowledge to paver and retaining-wall installations across Wildwood and surrounding St. Louis County communities.
Our crews address the conditions that affect how the finished work performs, including base preparation, grade transitions, drainage, compaction, and selecting the right paver or retaining-wall system for the property. Our installations are backed by a 3-year workmanship warranty.
On properties with changing elevation, retaining walls, walkways, patios, and drainage often affect one another. Our crews have worked on projects where access, grade support, runoff, and outdoor living space all had to be planned together, giving us experience connecting these systems instead of treating each one as a separate improvement.
Support changing grades, manage slopes, and create cleaner transitions around walkways, patios, lawns, and planting areas.
Create durable routes and outdoor living areas planned around grade, base preparation, drainage, and surrounding elevations.
Manage runoff, standing water, downspouts, and water moving through sloped areas with drainage planned around how the property actually sheds water.
Across drainage projects in Wildwood, Kirkwood, St. Louis, Des Peres, and nearby communities, our crews have installed downspout-to-PVC systems, French drains, drain boxes, catch basins, channel drains, underground drainage, and grading corrections.
We’ve helped homeowners redirect runoff, reduce standing water, improve saturated low areas, control erosion, and streamline water flow across properties where drainage affects patios, walkways, retaining walls, foundations, and surrounding landscape areas.
Need to reduce runoff or improve drainage around your property?
Homeowners around Wildwood come to us for settled patios, steep slopes, aging retaining walls, drainage problems, and difficult backyard access. Across these nearby projects, our crews have addressed those conditions with paver reconstruction, retaining-wall systems, grading, drainage, and hardscape planned around how the property needs to function.
We design drainage around where the water originates and how it moves through the property. Depending on the site, that can include French drains, catch basins, underground drainage, downspout-to-PVC systems, grading, and drainage integrated around new hardscape.
The goal is to give runoff a controlled route rather than allowing it to collect around walkways, retaining walls, foundations, or low areas.

We use retaining walls where the grade needs to be supported, reorganized, or separated from the walking surface. Planning the wall alongside the walkway allows the two features to solve different parts of the same site condition while creating a cleaner transition into lawns or planting areas.

We plan the walkway around the existing elevation, supporting base, drainage, surrounding grade, and how the route connects different parts of the property. Where the ground changes elevation beside the path, a retaining wall or other grade transition can be incorporated into the same plan.
