La Pinière: A Passion for Excellence

From Humble Beginnings to High-End Design
Founded in the 1990s by Luc Moquin, Les Jardins de la Pinière welcomed Amélie Charron and Francis Leroux to the team in 2009. A few years later, in 2016, the couple purchased the business. Since then, the company has grown from 4 to 25 employees, expanding its range of services. Today, La Pinière | Paysagiste – Architecte is a recognized leader in luxury, turnkey landscaping projects.

A Presence in the Heart of Saint-Lambert
In 2021, the team inaugurated its new offices in Saint-Lambert, right in the center of its service area. Clients can visit the space to view samples of colors, composite materials, vinyl, pavers, stones, gravel, and browse supplier catalogs.

La Pinière has always been a certified Maître Paysagiste, and both current co-owners have worked exclusively for companies with this certification. They understand the high standards it represents. As Francis explains: “It’s a guarantee that the company is financially healthy, always solution-oriented, and that any issues will be resolved. It certifies top-tier customer service, year after year.”

Building Memories
The La Pinière team sees itself as builders of memories. Their goal is to create environments where clients can build lasting moments. To achieve this, they follow a few key values: creativity and agility, a passion for excellence, and strong team spirit. Their team is made up of experienced professionals trained in horticulture and landscaping. In fact, Amélie and Francis first met 16 years ago while studying at ITA.
A True High-End General Contractor
What sets La Pinière apart is its exceptional all-in-one project execution in areas like Brossard and Saint-Lambert. More than just a landscaping company, La Pinière functions like a general contractor—with all trades handled in-house. The team also coordinates subcontractors such as pool builders, plumbers, and asphalt specialists to ensure that no project ever stalls.

The company has received numerous accolades in recent years, including:
- Quercus Award – Recruitment of the Year (2017)
- Maître Paysagiste of the Year (2018)
- HortiCompétences Award (2020)
- Groupex Cooperator of the Year – awarded personally to President Francis Leroux (2021)
Specialties include the integration of structures like sheds, garages, decks, pergolas, pool houses, and outdoor kitchens. With strong administrative capabilities, the company effectively supports employees, clients, and worksites. Competent project managers oversee each job closely, ensuring a personalized client experience. Client privacy is also a priority—crews work Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and only on rare occasions, Saturdays.

Built to Last
At La Pinière, durability is a core value. Their philosophy: when it’s done right, it shouldn’t need to be redone for 20 years. This approach reduces environmental impact. In addition, responsible waste management helps lower the company's ecological footprint. From the very first meeting through in-house planning to final execution and aftercare, excellence is at the heart of every step.

In short, La Pinière offers the perfect balance between strong administrative, design, and execution capabilities, and a human-scale approach to service. It's a winning formula that continues to fuel the company’s growth and success.
