What we do in Terrebonne
Altitude Services is an excavation and landscaping contractor based in Laval, serving Terrebonne and its sectors: Lachenaie, La Plaine, Old Terrebonne and the newer neighbourhoods near Highway 640. The owner, Jonathan, comes to see your property himself, writes the quote and runs the machine on the day of the work.
- Drainage and French drains: grade correction, French drain down to the footing, surface drains, dry wells where the soil allows.
- Excavation and grading: trenching, compacted backfill and fill, stump removal, site preparation.
- Pavers: new installation and relevelling of sunken pavers.
- Site preparation with the Harley Rake: crust broken, rocks removed, finish ready for seed or sod.
- Mechanized sweeping for business and condo parking lots.
The ground in Terrebonne
Much of Terrebonne sits on clay, with the Rivière des Mille Îles to the south. That means yards that drain slowly, puddles that linger after rain and, in the 1970s and 80s neighbourhoods, grades that have settled back toward the house over the years. Newer developments have the opposite issue: backfill that has not finished settling and lawns laid too fast on unprepared soil.
Whatever the sector, the method is the same: we first look at where the water can exit, we measure the yard (3D survey when the slope is at stake), and we give you a line-by-line quote. No vague package, no surprise at the end.
How it works
- You text us photos at 514 775-1988, or request a callback below. Often we can already tell you whether it is worth a visit.
- Jonathan comes to your place in Terrebonne, looks at the yard with you and sends a written quote, normally within 24 hours.
- We do the work with our own machinery, ground protection mats, and leave you a clean yard. Work guaranteed 1 year in writing.

Frequently asked in Terrebonne
Do you really travel to Terrebonne?
Yes. Our base is in Sainte-Dorothée (Laval), about 25 minutes from Terrebonne. We go regularly and group our jobs by area to keep travel costs low. For a small half-day job, we try to pair it with another job nearby the same week.
Do I need a permit from the City of Terrebonne?
For grading, sod, a drain or pavers on your own property, usually not. A retaining wall, a connected dry well or work touching the street right-of-way may require one. We tell you in the quote, and we can point you to what to ask the Terrebonne planning department.
How soon can you come?
An assessment visit normally happens within the week. For the work itself it depends on the season: a few days in spring and fall for urgent drainage, two to three weeks in mid summer. We give you a real date, not a two-month window.
