National Asphalte builds your natural stone walls and steps in Laval, on the North Shore and in Montreal. We also build your walkways and landings. Our crew digs and grades the ground before setting the blocks. The first row sits on a well-compacted crushed stone base. This base carries the full weight of the wall. The estimate is free.
A wall that holds back the soil
A stone wall holds back the soil where your yard changes level. The flower bed stays up top, and the driveway keeps its full width below. We bury the first row of blocks so the foot of the wall does not slide. Behind the stones, rain needs a way to drain down. Wet soil is heavy and pushes on the wall, so we leave a path for the water right from the excavation.
An L-shaped wall that leads to the door
On one of our job sites, a wall of large natural stone blocks runs along the driveway, then turns in an L at the corner of the lot. Steps of the same stone climb up to the front door. Behind the wall, a bed of black mulch and ornamental grasses overlooks the driveway. Past the corner, a low wall of stacked flat stones takes over along the lawn.
A wall cut by steps
At the edge of a driveway, a wall of large natural stone blocks holds back a flower bed. Steps of the same stone cut through it at the corner, and the wall picks up again on the other side, at an angle. Each block keeps its natural shape and colour.
Stone walkways and landings
A natural stone walkway connects the driveway to the door. Its flat stones rest on a compacted, levelled base, so no one trips. In front of the door, everyone steps onto the landing on the way in. The same stone can follow the whole path, from where you park to the doorstep.
With your driveway and your curbs
Natural stone goes well with an interlocking paver or asphalt driveway. National Asphalte installs both, as well as the curbs. That way, we do the wall and the driveway on the same job.
