Paving stone installation in Laval, North Shore and Laurentians
Your driveway, your terrace, the outline of your pool: it's the first thing you notice when you arrive at your home. A well-installed paving stone enhances your property and lasts for decades. Poorly installed, it warped in the second winter and required costly repairs.
At Aménagement DDL, we have been installing paving stones for more than 10 years in Laval, on the North Shore and in the Laurentians. We control each step, from the preparation of the soil to the finishing, because we know that this is where everything is played.
WHAT WE DO
Our paving stone projects
Whether you have a small project or a complete transformation of your outdoor space, we adapt to your land, your style and your budget. Here are the main types of projects we carry out in Laval and the region.
Driveways and driveways
The entrance is the calling card of your home. We design paving stone entrances that are durable, well-drained and adapted to the style of your property. We make sure that the base is solid and that the drainage is adequate so that it can withstand the freeze-thaw cycles of the Laval region and the North Shore. Our entrances can withstand temperatures of -35 degrees in winter and the intense heat of summer without any problems.
Terraces and patios
Transform your yard into a real living space. Paving stone terrace with built-in steps, low walls, lounge areas: we work according to your vision and the configuration of your land. A well-designed deck directly increases the resale value of your property and creates a space that you will use from May to October.
Pool surrounds
The area around your pool requires specific materials: non-slip, resistant to chemicals and constant humidity. We guide you to the right choices among the Techo-Bloc and Permacon ranges for a beautiful, safe and durable result. A poorly installed pool surround can be at risk of slipping and deteriorate quickly under the effect of chlorine.
Exterior steps and stairs
Solid, safe outdoor access that is harmoniously integrated with the rest of your layout. Heights and depths are calculated according to building standards for daily comfort and optimal safety, especially important during the winter months in Laval and on the North Shore.
Walls
Made of blocks or natural stone, low walls delimit, support and embellish your property. They are naturally integrated into your entire paving stone for a coherent result. A well-constructed wall can also be used as a retaining wall to stabilize sloping land, which is common in the Laurentians and certain areas of the North Shore.
Paving stone repair and repair
Has your existing paving stone moved, sagged or aged poorly? We assess the situation honestly. Sometimes a targeted repair is enough, sometimes a complete repair is necessary. You are always told what makes the most sense for your situation, without selling you unnecessary work.
What makes the difference: soil preparation
The majority of paving stone problems that we see in Laval and on the North Shore come from insufficient preparation. A paving stone that sags after two winters, joints that open, pavers that move: these are almost always basic problems.
A professional installation systematically includes excavation to the right depth, generally between 30 and 45 cm depending on the use, a bed of well-compacted granular gravel, a layer of calibrated laying sand, and finally the paving stones laid with precision. Every step is essential. At Aménagement DDL, we don't skip any steps, regardless of the size of the project.
Expert tip: Paving stone installations in Quebec must take into account a frost index of up to 2.5 metres in some regions. A well-prepared base is the only effective protection against frost heave.

When is the best time to install paving stones in Quebec?
The main season is from May to October. The ideal conditions are unfrozen ground and a temperature above 5 degrees. It is recommended to plan early in the season, as the calendars in Laval and on the North Shore fill up quickly between June and August.
How long does a paving stone installation take?
A standard driveway typically takes 2-3 days. A more complete project with decking, low walls and steps can take 1 to 2 weeks. You are given a specific timeline in your submission.
Does paving stone require a lot of maintenance?
Paving stones are relatively easy to maintain. Annual cleaning and occasional replacement of the sand in the joints is sufficient in most cases. A well-done installation with the right materials requires very little intervention during the first few years.
What brands of paving stones do you use?
We work mainly with Techo-Bloc and Permacon, two well-known brands that are adapted to the Quebec climate. These brands offer a variety of ranges in terms of style, price and resistance. We can also adapt to your preferences or your budget.
Do you repair existing paving stones?
Yes, in most cases. The first step is to assess whether a targeted repair is sufficient or whether a complete repair is necessary. You are always told honestly what makes the most sense for your specific situation.
