L'ARCHITECTURE EXTÉRIEURE REDÉFINIE
L'ARCHITECTURE EXTÉRIEURE REDÉFINIE
TECHNICAL DESIGN
Every successful hardscape begins before construction starts. Our landscape architects and designers carefully evaluate grading, drainage, soil conditions, and structural requirements to develop detailed construction plans. Every retaining wall, driveway, terrace, and staircase is designed using sound engineering principles and construction methods suited to Montréal's climate.
IN-HOUSE CONSTRUCTION
Every project is built by Northstone's skilled construction teams, allowing complete control over quality and execution. From excavation and reinforced concrete to retaining walls, natural stone, and custom hardscaping, every phase is carefully coordinated under one team. This integrated approach helps ensure consistency, accountability, and exceptional craftsmanship throughout construction.
STRUCTURAL PERFORMANCE
Building in Montréal requires more than quality materials. Freeze-thaw cycles, bedrock, changing elevations, and water management all influence how a hardscape should be constructed. We incorporate proper excavation, engineered base preparation, reinforced concrete, drainage systems, geotextiles, and helical piles where required to build hardscapes using construction methods developed for Québec's demanding conditions.
MODÈLES EN VEDETTE
Un design réussi allie beauté et fonctionnalité. Équipe primée, nos architectes paysagistes et designers collaborent étroitement avec chaque client pour créer des espaces extérieurs à la fois fonctionnels et raffinés.
LORRAINE
Cette construction contemporaine à Lorraine comprend une élégante piscine en béton et une allée pavée aux lignes épurées, ancrée par des murs de soutènement étagés qui structurent et définissent le paysage avant. Le résultat est un espace extérieur moderne et minimaliste, aux finitions soignées et sublimé par un savoir-faire raffiné.
BEACONSFIELD
Ce projet de Beaconsfield met en valeur une piscine en béton sur mesure de 15 mètres avec une entrée de style plage de 4,5 mètres, créant une atmosphère de villégiature à la maison. Les pavés à chevrons ajoutent texture et élégance, tandis qu'un jardin surélevé encadre l'espace avec une végétation structurée et un équilibre raffiné.
ÎLE BIZARD
Ce projet moderne à l'Île-Bizard, au Québec, comprend une piscine en béton sur mesure avec spa intégré, des dalles flottantes et de multiples foyers. Une allée grand format, une terrasse en ipé et un éclairage architectural complètent l'espace, alliant lignes épurées et matériaux haut de gamme pour une finition contemporaine et audacieuse.
OUR HARDSCAPING SERVICES
From engineered retaining walls and reinforced concrete to natural stone patios and luxury driveways, Northstone designs and builds complete hardscape solutions throughout Montréal, Westmount, Outremont, Ville-Mont-Royal, Hampstead, Beaconsfield, Senneville, Baie-D'Urfé, and surrounding communities. Every project is planned, engineered, and built in-house with craftsmanship, structural integrity, and long-term performance in mind.
EXCAVATION, GRADING & SITE PREPARATION
Every successful hardscape begins below the surface. Before construction starts, our team evaluates existing grades, drainage patterns, utilities, soil conditions, and bedrock to determine the most appropriate construction approach. Depending on the project, we may incorporate engineered granular foundations, geotextiles, reinforced concrete, helical piles, and comprehensive drainage systems to create a stable foundation for every phase of construction.
RETAINING WALLS & NATURAL STONE MASONRY
Retaining walls require thoughtful engineering and skilled craftsmanship. Northstone builds reinforced concrete, natural stone, gabion, and engineered retaining wall systems designed to manage elevation changes while complementing the surrounding landscape. We specialize in premium natural stone masonry using materials such as Saint-Marc limestone, with many projects individually measured and custom cut before arriving on site for a precise fit. From waterfront properties to the historic homes of Westmount and Outremont, every wall is built with careful attention to drainage, structural support, and long-term performance.
DRIVEWAYS, PATIOS & WALKWAYS
Driveways, patios, and walkways define how a property is experienced. Whether installing natural stone, porcelain pavers, large-format slabs, premium concrete pavers, or products from manufacturers such as Techo-Bloc, every installation begins with proper excavation, grading, drainage, and engineered base preparation. Careful attention to layout, joint alignment, edge restraints, and material transitions creates outdoor spaces that are both functional and architecturally cohesive.
POOL COPING & POOL SURROUNDS
The hardscape surrounding a pool is just as important as the pool itself. Northstone installs custom pool coping and pool surrounds using natural stone, porcelain, large-format paving, premium concrete pavers, and precast coping systems. Every installation is coordinated with drainage, grading, expansion joints, and adjacent patios to create seamless transitions between the pool and the surrounding landscape while supporting proper water management.
CUSTOM CONCRETE & STRUCTURAL HARDSCAPES
Driveways, patios, and walkways define how a property is experienced. Whether installing natural stone, porcelain pavers, large-format slabs, premium concrete pavers, or products from manufacturers such as Techo-Bloc, every installation begins with proper excavation, grading, drainage, and engineered base preparation. Careful attention to layout, joint alignment, edge restraints, and material transitions creates outdoor spaces that are both functional and architecturally cohesive.
PORCELAIN TILE, NATURAL STONE & CUSTOM FABRICATION
Exceptional hardscaping is defined by the precision of its installation. Northstone specializes in premium porcelain tile, large-format pavers, and natural stone, with many projects individually measured, shop drawn, custom fabricated, and numbered before arriving on site for precise installation. This process minimizes on-site cutting while achieving cleaner lines, tighter joints, and a superior finished result. We also specialize in porcelain tile installed on adjustable pedestal systems for rooftop terraces, elevated outdoor spaces, balconies, and contemporary pool surrounds, allowing for concealed drainage and easy access beneath the finished surface. Whether restoring the character of a historic Westmount residence with custom-cut limestone or constructing a modern rooftop terrace, every installation is completed with meticulous craftsmanship and architectural precision.
