Hardscaping in Carleton Place, ON
Professional hardscaping for Carleton Place homeowners, quoted, scheduled and finished by the owners. 45 km west of downtown Ottawa from our base of operations, on our regular weekly route.
Carleton Place hardscape work splits by location. Downtown and Bridgewater lots are tighter and often need replacement work on aging concrete and first-generation interlock. The newer subdivisions on the edge of town are blank-slate installs with the same dynamics we see in Stittsville and Barrhaven.
Mississippi River frontage properties require Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority sign-off on structural work near the water. We have run this process and know what the application needs.

Reviews
What our clients say.
“ALM is the competition. Caring, knowledgeable, quality work at the best price to fix my patio and sidewalks with the extras, even grass seed for the finishing touches. WOW.”
“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.”
“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.”
