A stone pillar can look solid and still move when the footing or drainage is wrong. We plan entrance walls, columns, caps and pillars in Toronto and across the GTA, then measure the site before pricing. Your itemized estimate separates materials and labour, because a phone quote cannot show soil, access, driveway edges or the work below grade.
Built on trust and quality.
Trusted by Toronto Homeowners & Builders Since 2010
For stone pillars Toronto properties need more than a stone face. Freeze-thaw and frost heave can shift a freestanding feature, so the below-grade footing and drainage approach are discussed before the visible stonework.
For stone column cladding Toronto homeowners can compare stone, cap and proportions against the porch, brick and driveway edge before ordering. The goal is a column that suits the existing structure, not one that looks added later.
Mortar and concrete work is temperature-limited in deep winter. April to November is the usual planning season, and we confirm what the weather and job type allow before scheduling work.
Point At the Stone Wall or Pillar You Want
Most people know the stonework they want before they know what it is called. Point at the kind of wall or pillar that fits your property, then choose the materials and details that suit it. We bring your choices to the site, measure everything, and price the work from there.
At the measurement, we look at the proposed location, driveway edge and water path. Foundations are typically taken well below grade for frost protection, with the final approach confirmed for the site.
We provide an itemized estimate with materials and labour split out, valid for two weeks. The price changes only when the scope or selected materials change, not because an omitted item appears later.
Tell us if the pillars need lighting preparation. We confirm the route and coordinate it before the stone goes up, so the feature is not opened after it is finished.
We know Ontario Building Code requirements and confirm what applies to the work on site. For property-line, right-of-way, heritage or ravine questions, verify the requirement for your property before construction.
Retaining walls, armour stone, excavation and retaining-wall repairs are delivered through our subcontractors under Antex project management. We do not provide engineering drawings, permits or building inspection support.
A shallow or poorly drained base can move with frost. Once the column is out of square, joints open and the cap may no longer shed water properly.
Excavation, footing work, access and caps can appear later if they were not discussed at the site. That makes a low starting number hard to compare.
Conduit added after the stone is built can mean opening completed work. A lighted pillar needs that preparation considered before the build.
A gate pillar near a sidewalk, corner or right-of-way may need additional review. Street-facing work can also be affected in heritage areas or on regulated land.
A wall holding back soil is not the same as a freestanding garden wall. A tall or regulated retaining wall generally needs an engineered design and permit support.
Choose the feature that fits the space and the work it must do. We measure the footprint, access route and relationship to the driveway or porch before confirming a buildable scope. Toronto freeze-thaw, salt splash and narrow-side-yard access affect the approach. Applicable requirements are confirmed on site, and retaining-wall enquiries are routed to the appropriate partner.
We take laser measurements and discuss footing, drainage, access, caps and any lighting preparation. The estimate follows within one to two business days after the site visit.
You approve the stone, caps and scope before materials are ordered. Stone is supplied and custom cut by our suppliers, while subcontracted excavation or retaining work stays under our project management.
Planting is covered while we work, waste is removed and dust is kept down. Your project manager checks the completed work with you before final payment.
These completed stone wall and pillar projects show the choices behind finished front-yard features, from driveway pillars and porch columns to seat walls and planters. Each example records the selected stone, build approach, and cap detail so homeowners can compare practical solutions for their own property.
Homeowners appreciate a clear process when entrance stonework affects the whole front of the house.
Wonderful experience. Antex team installed our glass shower enclosure and it looks great. Service was fast without sacrificing quality.
Anyone can hang a panel of glass. Antex is different in four ways that show up on your invoice, your calendar, and your final inspection.
You should know what is being built before materials arrive. The work follows clear stages, with one project manager communicating the scope, approximate installation date and any change to it. That avoids installation-day surprises around access, materials or unfinished preparation.
We inspect the proposed wall, pillar or column location and laser-measure the work. We discuss base conditions, drainage, caps, conduit and site access. Within one to two business days, you receive an itemized estimate. Nothing is ordered until you approve it.
Stone is supplied and custom cut by our suppliers to the approved scope. If excavation, a retaining wall or concrete driveway is involved, our subcontractors deliver that work under Antex project management. We provide an approximate installation date and call if it moves.
We cover planting, manage dust and remove waste as the work proceeds. The project manager checks the completed feature, walks it with you and addresses the handover before the final 10% payment is due.
For stone walls and pillars in Toronto or across the GTA, start with a free on-site measurement for qualifying projects. We'll assess the location, access, base considerations, caps and any lighting preparation, then send an itemized estimate within one to two business days. There's nothing to sign at the door, and nothing is ordered until you approve the scope.
