About Our Concrete Masonry Services in Laval
For over 20 years, Urban Landscaping Laval has specialized in professional concrete masonry, providing homeowners in Sainte-Dorothée, Duvernay, and across Laval with structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing outdoor features. We understand that concrete pavers and blocks are more than just building materials; they are the foundation of your landscape design, defining patios, walkways, and retaining walls. Our approach combines time-honored stonemason techniques with modern material science, ensuring every installation not only enhances curb appeal but also offers unparalleled durability. From intricate custom concrete masonry designs to robust, functional hardscapes, our focus is on delivering a final product that integrates perfectly with your property and withstands the test of time. We have completed over 800 projects, solidifying our reputation as the trusted local masonry contractors. Our technical expertise sets our work apart. We begin with a comprehensive site analysis to determine the optimal base preparation, which is the most critical factor for longevity in our regional climate. We typically excavate 12 to 18 inches, creating a sub-base of compacted 0-3/4" crushed stone that ensures proper drainage and prevents shifting. On top of this, a layer of precisely screeded concrete sand creates a uniform bed for the concrete pavers. We use high-density, low-absorption concrete blocks and pavers with a minimum compressive strength of 8,000 PSI, specifically chosen to resist salt damage and spalling. For joints, we exclusively use high-grade polymeric sand, which hardens to form a flexible yet solid bond, preventing weed growth and insect infestation while allowing for minute seasonal movements. Working in Laval presents unique environmental challenges that we are experts at navigating. The severe freeze-thaw cycles of Quebec can destroy improperly installed masonry, causing heaving, cracking, and structural failure. Our entire process is designed to mitigate these regional climate considerations. We ensure a base depth that extends below the frost line and implement subtle grading for positive water flow away from structures.
