Most homes in the area were built with standard concrete pads that eventually crack, settle, and pull away from the house due to the shifting soil. Our interlocking paver systems are flexible by design — they move naturally with the ground’s expansion and contraction during freeze-thaw cycles without cracking. They provide a timeless look, from modern slate textures to classic cobble styles, that increases your property value and gives you a space worth using.
A patio is only as good as the dirt underneath it. We excavate to a precise depth, install a multi-layered aggregate foundation of crushed compacted stone, and use professional-grade edge restraints. This ensures your patio stays level and drains away from your home, preventing the sinking and pooling common on Jefferson County lots.
We use laser levels to ensure a positive pitch away from your house. For yards with heavy hillside runoff, we can integrate French drains or catch basins directly into the patio design so water is captured and redirected before it can pool.
We finish every patio with high-performance polymeric sand. Once activated with water, it hardens like a flexible mortar, keeping weeds out and ants from nesting underneath.
We follow a proven construction process to ensure your patio is level, secure, and built to last.
We visit your home, discuss your goals, and create a custom layout with paver options and recommended features.
We dig to the correct depth, install a compacted aggregate base, and grade the area for proper drainage.
Pavers are installed with precision, edge restraints are added, joints are filled with polymeric sand, and the patio is cleaned and ready for use.
Excel Landscaping installs custom paver patios for homeowners throughout Webster Groves and surrounding communities. We design patios that are durable, stylish, and built to complement your outdoor living space.

Excel has now done 3 big projects for me and each time has been 1. Extremely competitive with pricing 2. Communicating thoroughly 2. Over the top with their clean-up after. They have installed a large retaining wall, a full privacy fence and just finished up cutting back our ginormous tree! I am also a Realtor and recommend them to ALL of our clients. You will be so thrilled to work with Joe Hirst and his employees! Call Excel asap!(:Posted on Gina Studer-HuntNovember 15, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joe (owner) is conscientious and hardworking. His crew did a nice job adding new sod to sections of our lawn that were messed up by a lawn service. Joe returned and did finish work until it was completed to his satisfaction.Posted on Shannon MorganNovember 2, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I had a wonderful experience with Excel Landscaping! The owner, Joe Hirst knew exactly what the old French drain issue was and was here with an amazing crew in 10 days time as opposed to months from other companies. His crew was so careful with my lawn and replaced the soil and sod so there was very little disturbance! He also was very reasonable compared to larger companies that did this work.Posted on Kelly TomekAugust 13, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joe and the guys at Excel Landscaping were incredible! They removed two hugely overgrown Bradford Pears from my front yard. They finished the job in less than three hours and left my property cleaner than when they arrived. I will definitely use them again and highly recommend them!Posted on Ben DuttonAugust 4, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

It's in a pristine state now and they did it in just one morning.Posted on Lisa DehneJuly 25, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joe and his crew did a fantastic job when I wanted to extend an existing concrete pad. Great communication, fair price and excellent work. I couldn't be happier!
The investment depends on the square footage, material selection, and amount of grading required. Many Webster Groves backyards are sloped, which may require a small retaining wall to create a level surface. During our free site evaluation, we provide a transparent, itemized quote covering everything from excavation to final joint sanding.
Poured concrete is a rigid system. When the clay soil in Webster Groves gets wet or freezes, it moves, causing rigid concrete to crack. Paver patios are flexible — the joints allow the stones to adjust to the ground’s movement without structural damage.
We use high-performance polymeric sand that hardens like a flexible mortar once activated with water. It prevents weed seeds from taking root and keeps ants from nesting under your pavers.
Most residential patios do not require a major building permit in Webster Groves if built on grade. However, if your project includes a covered structure, a large retaining wall, or a fireplace, a permit is required. We handle all the municipal paperwork for you.
Sinking is always the result of a poor base. Because we use a deep base method with commercial-grade compaction, our patios are built to remain level for decades.
