A standard driveway or patio project includes excavation, installation of a compacted crushed stone base, paver installation and finishes. We come to you free of charge to evaluate your land and give you a precise price without obligation. A well-installed paving stone with the right base can last 30 years or more.   <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_toggle_1 et_pb_toggle et_pb_toggle_item et_pb_toggle_close et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-toggle--default\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Why does my paving stone sag or lift after a few winters?<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content clearfix\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paving stone heaving or sagging is almost always caused by insufficient or poorly compacted granular base, lack of adequate drainage, or lack of retaining curbs. In Quebec, with freeze-thaw cycles, a solid foundation is non-negotiable. A professional installation with the right thicknesses of granular compacted in layers and a good drainage system will keep your paving stone stable for decades.  <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_toggle_2 et_pb_toggle et_pb_toggle_item et_pb_toggle_close et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-toggle--default\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Should you apply polymeric sand to paving stone? How many times? <\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content clearfix\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, polymeric sand in joints is highly recommended. It hardens after water activation, stabilizes pavers, prevents weed growth between joints and reduces the chance of water infiltration under the base. It is recommended to renew the polymeric sand every 3 to 5 years depending on exposure and wear, or when you notice empty joints or the appearance of persistent weeds.  <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_toggle_3 et_pb_toggle et_pb_toggle_item et_pb_toggle_close et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-toggle--default\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Can paving stones be laid over existing concrete?<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content clearfix\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technically yes, but it's generally not recommended as a sustainable solution.

Installation is possible from April to mid-November. In summer, more intensive watering is necessary to compensate for the heat and promote rooting. Avoid installations during prolonged heat waves without irrigation in place.   <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_toggle_6 et_pb_toggle et_pb_toggle_item et_pb_toggle_close et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-toggle--default\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">How much does it cost to install sod in Laval or on the North Shore?<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content clearfix\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The price of turnkey sod installation is generally between $1.25 and $3.00 per square foot depending on the preparation required, the level of difficulty of the land (slopes, snowing, accessibility) and the surface area. A flat and accessible lot costs less than a lot with slopes or requiring significant snowing.

Very wet soil after intensive watering in the first few days increases the risk of creating dips or bumps. If the temperatures are cool, wait two to three weeks to let the roots root sufficiently. The first mowing can be done about two weeks after installation, when the peat is about 7 cm high.   <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_toggle_8 et_pb_toggle et_pb_toggle_item et_pb_toggle_close et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-toggle--default\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Peat or seedling: which is the best option for my property in Laval?<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content clearfix\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peat gives an immediate result: a dense, green and uniform lawn from the day of installation. This is the ideal option if you want to enjoy your land quickly or if you have just finished landscaping work. Sowing is less expensive but takes several weeks to be usable and requires more care initially. For residential properties in Laval and the North Shore that want a quick and neat result, peat is almost always the best choice.   <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_toggle_9 et_pb_toggle et_pb_toggle_item et_pb_toggle_close et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-toggle--default\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Why does my lawn turn yellow every summer despite watering?<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content clearfix\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several possible causes: compacted soil that does not allow water to penetrate to the roots, a lawn that needs aeration, a lack of fertilization, an attack by insects such as tarnished stink bugs or white grubs, or simply a variety of grass that is not adapted to the conditions of the land.

We visit your land, discuss your needs, tastes and budget, and offer you an overall plan before starting anything. A well-planned layout takes into account the natural drainage of the land, areas of shade and sun, access to the property and the logical order of the work to avoid damaging what has just been installed.  <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_toggle_11 et_pb_toggle et_pb_toggle_item et_pb_toggle_close et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-toggle--default\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">In what order should the different landscaping work be carried out?<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content clearfix\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The general recommended order is: earthworks and excavation first, then heavy structures (low walls, curbs, access), then drainage work, then paving stone or concrete, and finally sod laying and planting. The peat is always the last step, once all the other work is completed, so as not to damage it with the passage of equipment. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_toggle_12 et_pb_toggle et_pb_toggle_item et_pb_toggle_close et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-toggle--default\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Do you need a permit for a landscaping project in Laval or the Laurentians?<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content clearfix\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For most landscaping work such as paving stone, sod and planting, no permit is usually required. However, some work may require authorization depending on the municipality: construction of low walls of more than a certain height, major modifications to drainage or watercourses, or work near easements. The specific requirements of your municipality are checked during the planning process.  <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_toggle_13 et_pb_toggle et_pb_toggle_item et_pb_toggle_close et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-toggle--default\"><h5 class=\"et_pb_toggle_title\">Do you also work in the Laurentians and not only in Laval and on the North Shore?<\/h5><div class=\"et_pb_toggle_content clearfix\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes.
