In brief
Les Aménagements Spectaculaire is a family business headquartered at 230 Rue Brunet in Saint-Joseph-du-Lac. We serve Blainville, like the rest of Montréal's North Shore. Retaining walls, water management, interlock paving, stone walls: here is how we work. For the other towns, see the North Shore landscaper page.
A retaining wall holds back the soil on a sloped lot: it is a structural piece of work, not a decorative garden wall. Its critical point is the one you can't see, the drainage behind the wall. Without clean stone, geotextile membrane and a drain at the base, water builds up, freezes and eventually pushes the structure out. That is why we plan the drainage at the design stage, in Blainville as anywhere else. Above 1.2 m in height, most municipalities require a permit and drawings signed by an engineer: we check the bylaw before work starts, Blainville's included, and we coordinate the engineer when one is required. The details are on our retaining walls page and our drainage page.
We also build interlock paving and stone walls in Blainville. Interlock suits driveways, walkways and terraces; walls, in natural stone or block, frame a space or hold the levels of a lot. One team handles the whole job, from the first visit to the final cleanup, so you don't have to juggle several contractors.
The outdoor season runs from May to October, and requests pile up in spring. To have your job done in season, we recommend asking for the estimate between January and March. After the ground freezes, around mid-November, outdoor work is no longer possible.
Call us at (450) 983-2553 or use the contact page: we come and look at the property, then give you a detailed written quote, free of charge. To see the kind of work we do, browse our projects.
A structural wall in engineered blocks (Techno-Bloc, Permacon), large concrete blocks or natural stone, depending on height, soil and the look you want.
Drainage solutions that protect foundations and control standing water, chosen to suit your property.
Driveways, walkways and terraces in interlock or slabs, with Techno-Bloc, Permacon or Rinox products.
Decorative or retaining walls, steps and landings, in natural stone or block.
Terraces, steps and walls in Saint-Marc limestone, Canadian Shield granite or fieldstone.
Design and construction of your outdoor spaces, from the first plan to final delivery.
We look at the property, listen to what you need and talk through materials before pricing. The quote details the work, the materials and the schedule.
We check local bylaws before work begins and help with the paperwork when a permit is required.
You talk to the craftspeople who build your project, with no go-between on the job.
The on-site meeting and the estimate are completely free, and you keep your time to decide.
Yes. Blainville is part of our service territory, along with Saint-Joseph-du-Lac (head office), Mirabel, Deux-Montagnes, Boisbriand, Saint-Eustache and other North Shore towns. An on-site estimate meeting is free in our primary zone.
We build retaining walls, stormwater management, interlock paving and stone walls there. For another type of project, describe it by phone or through the contact page and we will schedule a visit.
Requirements vary from one municipality to the next. In most Laurentides towns, a retaining wall over 1.2 m, a raised patio over 60 cm and any construction that changes drainage generally require a permit. A decorative wall under 1.2 m or a ground-level terrace usually does not. We check your municipality's bylaw before work begins.
There is no single price: cost depends mainly on height, length, material, soil and slope, the drainage needed behind the wall and site access. Rather than a generic figure, we measure your slope on site and price the actual structure during a free estimate.
Ideally between January and March, so the work happens in season, from May to October.
