Landscape Construction in Richmond, ON
Professional landscaping for Richmond homeowners, quoted, scheduled and finished by the owners. 30 km southwest of downtown Ottawa from our base of operations, on our regular weekly route.
Richmond landscape construction works at country scale. Country and acreage properties support proper tree planting, formal axes and layered seasonal plantings that read across the whole property, not just the front-of-house. Village lots get a smaller footprint with the same level of design intent.
Many Richmond properties are on well water with septic. Irrigation sizing, planting density and bed locations all account for both well recovery rates and septic-field setbacks.

Reviews
What our clients say.
“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.”
“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.”
