FAQ for this service
What patio material is best for Montreal weather?
Concrete interlock pavers are the most popular choice because they flex with freeze-thaw movement and individual units can be replaced if damaged. Natural stone like granite is extremely durable but comes at a higher price point. We avoid poured concrete for patios because it tends to crack within a few years due to Quebec frost cycles.
How big should a patio be for a dining table and seating area?
A comfortable dining area for six people requires a minimum of 12 by 12 feet. If you want a separate lounge area with chairs, plan for an additional 10 by 10 feet. We typically recommend patios between 200 and 400 square feet for average Montreal backyards, scaled to your lot proportions and usage needs.
Can a patio be installed on a sloped backyard?
Yes, slopes are one of our specialties. We use a combination of retaining walls and tiered patio levels to create flat, usable surfaces on sloped lots. This approach turns a difficult yard into a multi-level outdoor living space with distinct zones for dining, relaxing, and gardening. Proper drainage behind retaining walls is critical and built into every design.
How much do patio installations cost in Montreal in 2026?
Patio installations in Montreal typically cost between $18 and $35 per square foot installed, depending on the material chosen. A standard 300-square-foot paver patio runs approximately $5,400 to $10,500 including excavation, base preparation, pavers, and polymeric sand. Natural stone patios cost more, typically $30 to $50 per square foot. We provide a detailed fixed-price estimate after reviewing your project.
Do patio installations require a permit in Montreal?
Most ground-level patio installations do not require a permit in Montreal. However, patios elevated more than 24 inches above grade require railings by Quebec building code, and projects near property lines or involving retaining walls over one metre may need municipal approval. We check your borough requirements during the planning phase.
