Making the most of outdoor living

-

After long winters, Quebecers’ minds turn from salt and shovels to sun and barbecues. With warmer weather comes a dash to al-fresco living, and annual pilgrimage­s to garden and renovation centres.

It’s no surprise homeowners are increasing­ly bringing the indoors out by upgrading their outdoor living spaces; for almost three decades, many have turned to Beto-Bloc, Greater Montreal’s premier destinatio­n for landscapin­g supplies, masonry, pavers and architectu­ral stone. From avantgarde showcase outdoor kitchens to modest walkways and patios, the Laval-based distributo­r is your one-stop shop for expertise and leading brands like Permacon, Techo-Bloc and Transpavé.

Beto-Bloc, a family business, offers all solutions to beautify your living space: enhance your pool, dress up entrances, create a lounge, or build an elegant walkway and patio. A simple click online at www.

betobloc.com offers images that inspire and a list of tools with which to plan your project, but there’s nothing like a stroll through its 27,000-square-foot outdoor showroom, convenient­ly located near Autoroutes 15 and 440.

Walk among entryways, driveways, outdoor kitchens and patios. Touch and feel the qualities of brick, patterns and textures of pavers, for an interactiv­e experience that surpasses a simple catalogue. See and feel what to expect in your home, under your feet, and make your choices.

Upgrading your home or building a new one? Whether you’re a weekend DIY warrior or you hire a seasoned contractor, Beto-Bloc has everything you need: materials, accessorie­s, and the expertise to get the job done right.

Beto-Bloc has a highly experience­d staff with vast technical knowledge to guide you through every step from product selection to finishing touches. Let them show you how to make it easier with innovative products like Gator Base, the revolution­ary panel system that replaces a full five inches of excavation for all patio and pedestrian traffic projects. Gator Base makes digging a breeze, and reduces costs, headaches and accessibil­ity issues of heavy machinery.

Your concrete balcony looking tired? Sick of the grey? Check out Beto-Bloc’s new porcelain slab collection designed to cover existing concrete. Porcelain not only offers beauty, but also durability, impermeabi­lity, resistance to freeze/ thaw cycles, and staining. The porcelain collection can also be applied to landscapin­g projects such as patios and walkways.

With a second location opening April 1 in St-Eustache, Beto-Bloc’s product lineup and expertise is more accessible than ever, and Beto-Bloc offers next-day delivery, so don’t put off your dream project. Make it happen this year.
