Hardscape & Outdoor Living

Serving St. Louis, Missouri & Surrounding Areas

Professional Hardscape Designs

At Shelton Landscape & Maintenance, we specialize in designing and installing both natural stone and precast concrete products to create a distinctive hardscape experience for your outdoor lifestyle. As one of the leading hardscape companies in St. Louis, MO, we bring over 45 years of expertise to every project, ensuring we achieve the results you envision.


We adhere to the manufacturing and construction guidelines set by the Interlocking Concrete Pavers Institute (ICPI) for all commercial and residential applications in North America. We not only recommend paver manufacturers that comply with ICPI standards but also strictly follow these guidelines in all of our designs and installations as an ICPI-certified company.

The National Concrete Masonry Association (NCMA) and concrete block manufacturers provide Master Plan Specifications for installing segmental retaining walls up to six feet in height (exposed). If your project requires retaining walls within this six-foot limit and site-specific plans, Shelton’s team is equipped with the training, expertise, and resources to effectively plan and execute the installation.


For natural stone installations, there are no universal industry standards to follow. Each project must be uniquely designed and constructed according to the specific characteristics of the site and the materials being used. Our team at Shelton Landscape & Maintenance has the experience to craft tailored natural stone installations that align with the unique elements of each project.

Driveways & Sidewalks

When renovating the front of your property, distinguishing your home from the rest is a shared goal for both homeowners and designers. One of the most impactful ways to showcase your home’s architecture and beauty is by installing a new paver driveway. By extending this design from the driveway to the front door, you can create a seamless and inviting path that enhances curb appeal. This approach not only elevates the entrance experience but also harmoniously blends the sidewalk and surrounding landscape with the distinctive features of your home’s façade.

Patios & Pool Decks

Designing an outdoor patio where friends and family can gather and create lasting memories is essential for extending your living space outdoors. To make a lasting impression, go beyond a standard concrete patio and pool deck. Choose a surface that not only reflects the value of your home and pool but also complements and enhances the unique features of your home and surrounding landscape, creating a space that is both functional and visually appealing.

Flagstone Patios & Sidewalks

Incorporating a flagstone patio or walkway into your outdoor living space adds a touch of sophistication and charm. Choosing natural flagstone over concrete not only elevates the aesthetic appeal of your home but also enhances its architectural features and increases property value.

In-Ground Pools

An inground pool can transform your outdoor space into a relaxing retreat or a central hub for gatherings with family and friends. As specialists in designing and installing vinyl liner pools, we work to bring your vision to life while staying within your budget. The result is a luxurious outdoor oasis where you can create lasting memories for years to come.

Boulder Retaining Walls

Incorporating a boulder wall into your outdoor space is an excellent way to create a functional and level area where one didn’t exist before. A boulder retaining wall offers both stability and longevity, while its natural appearance enhances the overall aesthetic and value of your property. Over time, the wall will develop richer colors and textures, adding even more character to your landscape.

Precast Block Retaining Walls

Not all outdoor spaces start as usable and level areas. Installing a precast concrete block retaining wall is an effective way to shape and expand your outdoor environment, enhancing both its functionality and overall appeal. This solution allows you to maximize your space while creating a more inviting and versatile landscape.

Free-Standing Walls & Columns

Extending your retaining wall into your patio as a freestanding wall offers multiple benefits. It provides additional seating, adds safety to the edges, and creates a clear definition of the outdoor space. This approach not only enhances functionality but also contributes to a cohesive and stylish landscape design.

Fire Pits & Fireplaces

Whether you opt for wood-burning or natural gas, a new fire pit or fireplace creates a cozy gathering spot where you can enjoy the warmth and ambiance with family and friends. It’s the perfect addition to enhance your outdoor living experience.

Outdoor Kitchens

If you’re already enjoying your outdoor patio with friends and family, why not bring the cooking and entertaining outside too? With a fully integrated outdoor kitchen, you can prepare food and serve drinks without missing out on the conversation or fun. It’s the perfect way to extend your indoor lifestyle into your outdoor living space.

Pathways & Stairs

Whether leading to a new outdoor patio near your home or a cozy seating area tucked into a corner of your property, adding a well-designed pathway full of character is essential. Opt for natural stone boulder steps winding through the landscape or steps crafted from blocks and pavers to create a visually appealing and functional connection between all your outdoor spaces, making them both accessible and inviting.

Maintenance-Free Wood Decks

A custom deck offers the opportunity to create multiple levels of outdoor living spaces. Our experienced designers can craft a comprehensive master plan that seamlessly integrates your new deck with existing and future hardscape elements in your backyard. With a variety of materials and sizing options available, we can tailor the design to fit your specific needs and budget, creating an outdoor space that enhances your lifestyle.

Roof Structure

Adding a roof structure to your new patio or deck ensures a comfortable space for entertaining, no matter how hot or sunny the day. With options in materials, sizing, and finishes, we can design a custom roof structure that perfectly fits your needs and budget, enhancing both the functionality and style of your outdoor living area.
