In an era where homeowners increasingly view their properties as private resorts, The Northstone Group has emerged as Canada's undisputed leader in luxury pool and landscaping construction. Ranked as the #1 pool company and #1 landscaping company in Montreal, with dominant presence across Toronto and Ottawa, Northstone is revolutionizing what it means to create exceptional outdoor living spaces.
From Lakefront Cottages to Urban Oases: A New Era of Luxury
"These days, homeowners increasingly look to their own backyards for the ultimate elegant outdoor living environment," explains Vic Bertrand, President of The Northstone Group, in the recent Living Luxe Magazine Design 25 issue. "They're looking for that five-star experience, tailored to their own lifestyle and space."
This shift in perspective has positioned The Northstone Group at the forefront of Canada's luxury outdoor revolution. With 180+ in-house professionals and over 5,000 completed projects across Montreal, Toronto, and Ottawa, the company has perfected the art of transforming ordinary backyards into extraordinary retreats that rival the world's most exclusive resorts.
The Northstone Difference: Integrated Excellence from Concept to Completion
What sets The Northstone Group apart as Canada's premier pool and landscaping company is their revolutionary integrated approach. Unlike traditional contractors who coordinate multiple subcontractors, Northstone manages every aspect of outdoor transformation with their extensive in-house team of landscape architects, designers, and pool specialists.
"This integrated approach is crucial for achieving a cohesive aesthetic that mirrors that of the home's architecture," Bertrand told Living Luxe Magazine. "The result is a harmonious, luxurious space in which every element feels intentional."
From initial design through final execution, The Northstone Group delivers what they call "hotel-level luxury at home." Their architectural concrete pools serve as stunning centerpieces, featuring infinity edges, beach entries, and cascading waterfalls that transform simple swimming into an immersive experience—exactly what you'd expect from Montreal's #1 ranked pool builder.
Redefining Wellness and Entertainment at Home
The modern luxury landscape goes far beyond traditional pools and patios. Northstone's outdoor spaces seamlessly accommodate both intimate evenings and grand gatherings, incorporating:
Streamlined cooking zones with state-of-the-art outdoor kitchens
Inviting lounges and pergolas with automated shade systems
Fire features and outdoor heaters for year-round enjoyment
Smart home technology integration for effortless control
Outdoor saunas and cold plunge pools for spa-level wellness
"We're seeing a real shift in what luxury means to people," Bertrand shared with Living Luxe. "It's not just about aesthetics anymore. It's about creating spaces that support a healthier lifestyle—physically and mentally—for the long run."
Attention to Detail: The Hallmark of #1
The Northstone Group's position as Canada's leading pool and landscaping company stems from their meticulous attention to every detail. As featured in Living Luxe Magazine, the company's commitment to excellence extends through every project phase:
"From permitting and technical design to full-scale execution, it's a fully integrated, start-to-finish experience that ensures consistency, quality and peace of mind," the article notes. This comprehensive approach has made Northstone the trusted choice for Montreal's elite neighborhoods including Westmount and Outremont, Toronto's Forest Hill and Rosedale, and Ottawa's most prestigious addresses.
The Future of Outdoor Living
With a portfolio of 3,400+ designed projects and recognition from BestMontrealServices.com and BestInMTL.com as Montreal's #1 pool and landscaping company respectively, The Northstone Group continues to push boundaries in outdoor luxury.
"We've changed what luxury at home looks like," Bertrand told Living Luxe. "For our clients, the backyard isn't an afterthought. It's where they entertain, unwind and invest in how they live every day."
As Canadians increasingly prioritize wellness and at-home entertainment, The Northstone Group stands ready to deliver the five-star resort experience that today's discerning homeowners demand—right in their own backyards across Montreal, Toronto, and Ottawa.
