Joe and his team were excellent! They built a retaining wall in my front yard and handled everything from tear-out to final installation. The quality was top-notch, they worked quickly, and Joe answered all my questions promptly. You cannot go wrong with Excel Landscaping. Their work is fantastic and their customer service is top-tier. Highly recommend Excel!

Jake, thank you so much for this! Your front yard wall turned out great, and those evening photos with the lights on really show it off. Thanks for trusting us with your home, and please reach out anytime you have questions

We had water coming into our basement from a number of entry points in our front concrete planter boxes and porch. After multiple bids from other companies suggesting we tear everything out and rebuild, Joe came in with creative and practical solutions that didn’t require a total demolition that also wouldn’t cost us $20K and up. He had a crew of hard workers who did a great job with all the repairs. We recently had a hard rain and had no water! 🙌🏻 Joe checked in with me a couple of times after the job was completed to see if all was good which I also appreciate. I would highly recommend this company!

Deborah, thank you so much for taking the time to write this! It means a lot to us. I’m really glad we found a fix for the water without tearing out your porch and planters, and even happier to hear it stayed dry through that last big rain. Thank you for trusting us with your home. It was a pleasure working with you!

Joe and his crew at Excel Landscaping did a PHENOMENAL job when I came to replacing my retaining wall. Joe was great at communicating and did everything he said they would do. They were timely, reasonably priced, and did an excellent job. I would recommend Excel Landscaping for any Landscaping project you may have. Especially retaining walls.

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!

After contacting several landscape companies, we chose Joe at Excel Landscaping, and we are so glad we did. Joe was incredibly responsive, providing an affordable bid and a start date in no time. He even helped us select the perfect stone for our new front retaining wall, and the final look completely blew us away. The Excel crew is unmatched in their work ethic. They arrived at sunrise and worked straight through until sundown every day--even in the rain. In just two days, they built the beautiful retaining wall, neatly edged both sides of our long driveway, installed gorgeous stone edging, and planted around 50 plants (including ornamental grasses, dwarf crepe myrtles, trees, shrubs, and perennials).The entire process exceeded our expectations. The workmanship is top-notch, the customer service is exceptional, and the results are absolutely stunning. If you want affordable, high-quality landscaping, call Joe at Excel Landscaping!

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

Our paver patio at 10 years old was showing its age with sinking pavers around the perimeter. Joe and his crew dug out the old pavers and the old sand base, replaced it with the appropriate gravel and reset new pavers. They look great. Joe scheduled our work at least 6 weeks out, then showed up exactly as scheduled. He and his crew finished as planned and were extremely respectful of our neighbors. They always cleaned up after work leaving everything cleaner than when they showed up. Highly recommended.
