Hardscaping in Kanata, ON
Professional hardscaping for Kanata homeowners, quoted, scheduled and finished by the owners. 20 km west of downtown Ottawa from our base of operations, on our regular weekly route.
Kanata hardscape jobs split sharply along subdivision lines. The newer Bridlewood and Morgan's Grant builds usually need full backyard installations from scratch, while older Beaverbrook and Katimavik streets are more about replacing first-generation interlock that has shifted twenty years on. We adjust the base prep accordingly.
Newer Kanata sub-grades are typically compacted clay fill with shallow topsoil. We overspec base depth here, patios get a minimum of 10 inches of Granular A instead of the standard 8.

“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.”
