St. Louis clay holds a massive amount of water, which expands during the winter freeze and destroys weak walls. We dig deep, compact a proper gravel base, and utilize geogrid reinforcement on taller walls to guarantee they will never lean, bow, or blow out
The number one reason retaining walls fail is hydrostatic pressure (trapped water). We don't cut corners. Every structural wall we build includes an extensive drainage system, featuring clean rock backfill and perforated drain pipe (French drains) to channel groundwater safely away from the wall.
We only install industry-leading block, natural stone, and concrete systems proven to last. With over a decade of experience transforming yards across the St. Louis region, every project is built to precise structural standards and designed to perfectly match your property
We follow a proven method that ensures your retaining wall is built correctly from the ground up.
We assess your property's specific slope conditions, soil movement, and drainage needs to determine the right type of retaining wall for your Fenton landscape.
You choose the style and material—from segmental block to natural stone—while we finalize the structural engineering and drainage plan to ensure long-term stability.
We handle everything: excavation, installing a proper base, building the wall with precision, and integrating French drains. We finish with final grading and a thorough site cleanup.
Beautiful Hardscapes That Exceed Expectations
Posted on Shae GalczynskiDecember 21, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I could give 10 Stars I would!! 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.
