What We Do
Our Services
Four kinds of work, one standard: hardscape and interlock, fences, decks and railings, and the landscaping that finishes the yard. Every job starts with a free site visit and a written quote.
Patios, walkways, driveways, steps, and walls on bases built for Ottawa freeze-thaw
Every piece of hardscape in your yard does the same job: it holds its shape through Ottawa winters. Patios, walkways, driveways, steps, retaining walls, garden walls, and full outdoor living areas all depend on what's underneath. That means excavation to the right depth, Granular A compacted in lifts, edge restraint, and drainage planned before the first paver goes down. Pick the project below to see how we build it.
Most outdoor work fails underground, where nobody looks. Here's what we do on every interlock, fence, and deck job so yours doesn't.

Days a Week
01
Deep, compacted bases
Interlock and turf sit on excavated Granular A, compacted in lifts, so frost doesn't push your patio out of level by the second spring.
02
Footings to frost depth
Fence posts and deck footings go as deep as Ottawa's frost requires, not as deep as is easy to dig. Gates keep latching and railings stay plumb.
03
Written quote, no surprises
Scope, materials, and price on paper before we book a start date. If something changes on site, it's priced before it's built.
04
Written warranty
Every completed project comes with a written warranty and care notes, so you know how to keep it looking like the day we finished.
05
One company, one number
From the site visit to the final walkthrough, you deal with one company and one phone number. No chasing, no finger-pointing.
06
Clean, safe job sites
Materials stacked neatly, driveways swept, and debris hauled away. Your family is living there while we work, so safety comes first.

What our clients say
Ready When You Are
Let's plan your yard
Send a few details about your project and we'll set up a free site visit and a written, no-pressure quote.
It depends on size, access, paver choice, and how much excavation the yard needs. We quote every project in writing after a free site visit, and new clients take 15% off their first project.
Our building season runs from spring thaw into late fall. Spring fills up quickly, so booking a site visit early gives you the widest choice of start dates. Fall is an excellent time for sod, fences, and decks.
Some projects do. Under the Ontario Building Code, decks more than 600 mm (about 24 inches) above grade need guards, and many decks need a City of Ottawa building permit. Fences must follow the city's height rules, which differ for front and back yards. We check what applies to your property before we quote.
Heaving and sinking almost always come from a thin or poorly compacted base. We excavate to the right depth for the use (deeper for driveways than walkways), compact granular in lifts, install edge restraint, and finish the joints with polymeric sand.
Yes. Quality turf handles snow and freeze-thaw well when it's installed on a compacted, free-draining stone base. Clear it with a plastic shovel, skip the de-icing salt, and it's green again as soon as the snow melts.
Yes. New clients get 15% off their first project, and returning clients get 20% off. Mention it when you request your quote.
