Landscaping
Landscape Construction in Ottawa
Design-build landscaping that turns your yard into a finished outdoor room. Planting, lighting and grading all included.
Overview
Great hardscape only works when the softscape around it is just as considered. Our landscape-construction service covers everything that touches soil: grading, sod, garden beds, plant selection, mulch, edging and low-voltage lighting.
We design with Ottawa's USDA zone 5a conditions in mind, choosing hardy native and adapted species, accounting for full-sun exposures and engineering drainage so the property looks intentional in every season.

“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.”
