Landscape Construction in Carleton Place, ON
Professional landscaping 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 landscape construction usually starts with drainage. The older parts of town have aging lot grading, the river-frontage properties need careful slope design and the newer subdivisions have the standard builder-grade lawn-over-fill problem. Different problems, same first principle, fix the water before the planting.
Mississippi River-frontage lots can have shoreline regulation that affects what gets planted near the water. We confirm regulated-area boundaries before any planting plan is finalized.

“I can't say enough about the excellent work provided by ALM. I had my sun room and mud room demolished and rebuilt. These folks were super fast with minimal disruption.”
“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.”
