Hardscaping in Carp (West Carleton), ON
Professional hardscaping for Carp homeowners, quoted, scheduled and finished by the owners. 30 km west of downtown Ottawa from our base of operations, on our regular weekly route.
Carp hardscape projects tend to be country-property hardscape. Long approach driveways with proper stone aprons, dedicated entertaining patios sized for the lot, fire-pit zones positioned for the view rather than the property line. The scale changes the design.
Most Carp properties are on septic systems. We confirm field locations and respect setback requirements before any excavation crosses the back yard.

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.”
