Free EstimateAll hardscaping info

Pakenham hardscape is craft work in a heritage village. Natural-stone walkways, mortar-set front entries and Mississippi River-frontage stone terraces, material selections lean toward what reads alongside the village's stone-and-mortar streetscape, not against it. We source accordingly.

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

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.
