When a patio sinks or a retaining wall starts to lean, most people think it’s just a cosmetic issue. At Baron Professional Services, we know it’s a sign of structural failure. We don’t just "re-level the bricks. We identify the technical flaws and rebuild the system to last.

 

We provide South Shore homeowners with a permanent solution that attacks the root of the problem: the soil, the water, and the foundation.

 

Why is it moving? (The truth about hardscape failure)

If your pavers are lifting or your walls are shifting, it’s usually because the original project skipped the technical essentials. Most "patch jobs" fail because they don't address the underlying issues that cause movement:

• Contaminated Base Materials: Soil and stone should never mix. We install heavy-duty geotextile to act as a permanent barrier between the native soil and your new base, preventing the contamination that leads to sinking.

• Failed Retaining Wall Drainage: Walls fail when water pressure builds up behind them. We ensure a proper layer of 3/4 net stone and a perforated drain with a dedicated release spout are installed to let the earth breathe and drain.

• Lack of Slope: Without a precise grade to direct water away, you get pooling that saturates the base. We correct the slopage to ensure water runoff moves exactly where it belongs—away from your home.

 

Keep your stone, change the rest.

In many cases, your pavers are still in great shape—it’s just the "invisible" work underneath that’s failing. Restoration is the smart move to:

• Protect Your Home: Correcting the slope and drainage stops water from threatening your house foundation.

• Spend Wisely: We reuse your existing stone so you can put your money where it actually matters: into the foundation, the drainage stone, and the geotextile.

• Erase the Neglect: We remove invasive weeds and failed sand, replacing them with high-performance materials that stay put.

 

The Master Plan: Manage the water, get peace of mind

 

The Forensic Site Check

Before we bring in the machines, we analyze why the original project failed. We map the drainage and measure the elevations to ensure the new plan fixes the water runoff for good.

 

Specialist Excavation & Base Correction

We rip out the contaminated base and dig to the correct depth. We lay down heavy-duty geotextile to keep your new foundation clean and use 3/4 net stone where drainage is critical. We compact every layer to ensure it can handle the Delson, Candiac, and La Prairie freeze-thaw cycles.

 

Wall & Surface Drainage

For retaining walls, we don't just stack stone. We install the proper drainage systems—perforated pipes and release spouts—to eliminate the pressure that causes walls to lean. For patios, we reshape the levels to guarantee a perfect slope.

 

Precision Re-Installation

Putting an old paver pattern back together is an art. We clean, sort, and re-lay every stone with millimeter precision. We finish it with professional-grade polymeric sand to lock everything in against ice and water.

 

Built for the Quebec Climate

By combining high-performance materials with a rock-solid foundation, we can offer a 3 to 5-year structural guarantee. We build these to stay level, look great, and function perfectly even after the most brutal spring thaws.

 

Your property deserves more than a "patch job."

The window for hardscape repair on the South Shore is short. If your driveway, patio, or retaining wall is starting to fail, don’t wait for another winter to make it worse.
