Pool development and excavation in Laval, North Shore and Laurentians
A swimming pool is one of the biggest investments you make for your property. What surrounds it, the outline, the accesses, the drainage, the low walls, is what makes your backyard go from ordinary to extraordinary. And it's also what protects this investment for years to come.
At Aménagement DDL, we take care of all the work around your pool in Laval, on the North Shore and in the Laurentians. Excavation, earthworks, paving stone contouring, perimeter drainage: a turnkey project, managed by a single team from start to finish.
OUR SERVICES
Our services for your swimming pool project
Each pool project is unique. We adapt to your land, the configuration of your yard and your vision to deliver a coherent, safe and sustainable result.
Excavation for in-ground pools
Excavation is the step that determines everything. It is carried out with precision: good dimensions, good depths, access provided to protect the rest of your land. We have the equipment adapted to residential properties, including mini-excavators for tight spaces. Poorly executed excavation can compromise the entire pool installation and generate significant additional costs.
Earthwork and levelling around the pool
Once the pool is installed, the land around it must be perfectly levelled to ensure optimal drainage and a stable surface. We prepare the soil so that everything that comes next, paving stones, peat, low walls, lasts over time and does not create water problems. Insufficient leveling around a pool can direct water to the structure and accelerate its deterioration.
Paving stone pool surround
The outline is what we see and what we walk on every day. We install non-slip pavers, resistant to chemicals and constant humidity, in sizes and colours that harmonize with your home. We work with the Techo-Bloc and Permacon ranges adapted specifically to swimming pool environments. A well-installed contour is beautiful, safe, easy to maintain and lasts for decades.
Perimeter drainage
Water around a pool accumulates quickly: rain, splashes, washing. Well-designed perimeter drainage protects your foundation, prevents muddy areas, and extends the life of your paving stone surround. We design and install the system adapted to your land configuration and the volume of water generated by your pool.
Walls and boundaries
A block or natural stone wall around your pool is both aesthetic and functional. It delimits the area, creates privacy and can be used as a bench or decorative surface. They are naturally integrated into your entire layout for a coherent and neat result.
Access and steps
The accesses from the house to the pool must be safe, well thought out and visually consistent with the rest. We design paving stone steps and walkways that fit perfectly into your overall layout, with non-slip surfaces suitable for wet areas.
WHY AMÉNAGEMENT DDL
A single contractor for your entire pool project
The biggest stress of a pool project is often coordinating several contractors who don't talk to each other: the excavator, the paver installer, the digger. The result is often deadlines, grey areas on responsibilities and a layout that lacks visual coherence.
With DDL Fittings, you have one team for everything. The excavation, the earthworks, the paving stone outline, the drainage and the low walls: we manage the whole, in the right order, with the overall vision of the project in mind. Less stress for you, more consistency in the final result.
Expert tip: Plan your pool project early in the season. Excavation work in Laval and on the North Shore begins as soon as the ground thaws, usually in April or May. Calendars fill up quickly from June to August.

Frequently asked questions about pool design
How much does it cost to excavate an in-ground pool in Laval or on the North Shore?
The price varies according to the size of the pool, the accessibility of the land and the nature of the ground. Excavation alone for a standard-sized in-ground pool can vary greatly depending on the conditions. Contact us for a free on-site evaluation.
Do you only take care of the excavation or all the landscaping around it?
You can do both. Some customers contact us for excavation only, others want us to take care of everything: earthworks, paving stone surround, drainage and low walls. We adapt to your needs.
When is the best time for a pool project in Quebec?
Most pool projects take place from May to September. It is recommended to plan early in the season to have the best availability. Contact us in winter or spring to reserve your place in our calendar in Laval or on the North Shore.
How long does a complete landscaping project around a pool take?
A complete project including excavation, earthworks, paving stone contouring and drainage can take between 1 and 3 weeks depending on the surface area and complexity of the land. We give you a precise schedule at the time of submission.
Do you also do the landscaping around above-ground pools?
Yes. Even if excavation is not necessary for an above-ground pool, we can take care of the earthwork, the paving stone surround, the drainage and the accesses to make the space functional and aesthetically pleasing.
What type of paving stone is recommended for a pool surround?
Non-slip pavers with a textured surface, specifically designed for wet areas, are recommended. The Techo-Bloc and Permacon ranges offer options adapted to pool environments, resistant to chlorine and usual maintenance products.
