Serving the Greater Toronto Area

Retaining walls, patios, parging and fences, built by one crew.

Moderna Contracting works on the hard parts of a property: the wall holding back your grade, the patio you walk on, the foundation face, the fence line. We handle the excavation, the base, the installation and the cleanup, so you are not coordinating three trades.

Competitive rates, with a written price before any work begins.

What we build

Five things, done properly

01

Retaining walls

Block and armour stone walls that hold back grade and stay straight through freeze and thaw. Compacted base, clear stone backfill, drainage behind the wall.

See details
02

Flagstone

Natural flagstone walkways, porches, steps and landings. Pieces are cut to fit and set on a prepared base so nothing rocks underfoot.

See details
03

Interlocking patios

Paver patios, walkways, steps and driveways. Herringbone, running bond or plank layouts with a banded border to lock the field in.

See details
04

Parging

New parging over foundation walls, porch sides and steps. Loose material comes off first, then a flat even coat that sheds water.

See details
05

Fences

Pressure treated wood fences, gates and privacy screens. Posts set below the frost line, string lines pulled so the top run stays level.

How the work holds up

The part you cannot see is the part that matters

Most hardscape fails from underneath. Pavers sink, walls lean, steps go out of level. We spend the time on excavation depth, compaction and drainage, because that determines whether the surface still looks like this in ten winters.

Base excavated to the depth the job requires, not the depth that is quickest
Granular compacted in lifts, checked with a level as we go
Water given a route away, behind walls and off surfaces
Edges restrained and joints swept so the field stays tight
Why homeowners call us back

Competitive rates, all in service

One price, itemized

Your quote lists materials, labour and disposal separately, so you can see what you are paying for. If the scope changes during the job, you receive the revised number before we proceed.

All in, start to finish

Excavation, base, drainage, install, haul away and final sweep are all ours. You do not need to book a second contractor to finish the job.

Straight answers

If a wall needs an engineer or the job needs a permit, we say so on the first visit. If your patio needs a repair rather than a rebuild, we will tell you that as well.

How it goes

Four steps from call to cleanup

1

You call or text

Tell us what you would like done and text a few photos of the area. Most questions are answered on that first call.

2

We visit and measure

We walk the site, check grade and access, and talk through materials and layout options with you.

3

You receive it in writing

An itemized quote with the scope, the material, the timeline and the price. There is no obligation to sign on the spot.

4

We build and clean up

We work in one continuous stretch where the weather allows, keep the site tidy, and sweep the driveway before we leave.
