Almonte hardscape is craft work in a town that notices the difference. Material selections lean toward natural stone over manufactured pavers, joint tolerances are tighter, and the work has to read alongside the town's heritage stone-and-brick streetscape. We design and install with that bar in mind.

Mississippi River frontage in Almonte falls under Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority jurisdiction. River-facing hardscape requires formal approvals we factor into the project schedule.

Reviews

What our clients say.

“ALM did a ton of work around my property, inside and out. Lindsey is very pleasant to work with and also efficient. Rob and his team worked hard and did an excellent job in heavy construction and also landscaping. I'll be choosing ALM from now on. It's hard to find honesty, fairness and skill together.”

John V.

Full property renovation & landscaping

“We recently used ALM for a reno in our backyard including some structural repair as a result of some pool issues. Lindsey, Rob and team were awesome, organized, and thorough. They corrected everything to the standards that should have been done in the first place, and more. The landscaping looks great too. Highly recommend.”

FAQ

Hardscaping questions, answered.

Is ALM a City of Ottawa licensed hardscape contractor?

Yes. ALM holds an active City of Ottawa Hardscaping Contractor business licence in good standing. As of March 1, 2026, this licence is required by city bylaw for any contractor performing hardscaping work in Ottawa, we encourage homeowners to verify the licence status of any contractor before signing.

How long does a typical patio installation take?

Most residential patios in the 300–600 sq ft range take 5–10 working days from excavation to final clean-up, weather depending. Larger pool-deck or multi-tier projects can run two to four weeks.

Do interlock patios need to be sealed?

Sealing is optional but recommended every 3–5 years. It deepens the colour, locks the polymeric sand in place and helps the surface resist stains from leaves, food and de-icing salt.

What base depth do you install under a patio?

Eight inches of compacted Granular A is our minimum for pedestrian patios. Driveways and high-load surfaces step up to 10–12 inches with geotextile separation fabric below.

Do you handle permits?

Yes, when the City of Ottawa requires a building or pool-enclosure permit for the work, we coordinate directly with the planning office on your behalf.
