Landscape Construction in Carp (West Carleton), ON
Professional landscaping 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 landscape construction usually involves more land than design. We work with what is already there, mature tree lines, natural swales, established hedgerows, and design new planting and lawn zones that integrate rather than replace.
Well water is the irrigation source on many Carp properties. We size irrigation runs to actual well recovery rates and use drip lines and mulched beds to reduce overall draw.

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.”
