Your backyard looks great.
But everyone can see into it.
Aménagement Chartrand designs and installs outdoor privacy screens and walls tailored to your space, your style and your needs. Aluminum, composite or wood: durable solutions, installed by certified professionals.
You’ve invested in a beautiful deck, a well-kept patio, maybe even a pool. But the moment you settle in, the neighbours are right there. So is the street. You never quite feel at home, outdoors.
You’ve looked at the options: panels sold in a box at the big-box store, lattice from the hardware store, a hedge that will take six years to fill in. Nothing that looks like what you picture for a space you actually want to use.
A well-designed privacy wall is something else. It’s a structure that fits into your existing landscape, stands up to Quebec winters, and truly turns your backyard into a private space.

A privacy screen looks simple. In practice, poor anchoring, the wrong materials, or a bad read on height and placement can make all the difference between a structure that lasts and one that leans after the first winter.
Your space is unique. We assess the dimensions, property lines, prevailing winds and the style of your home before proposing a solution.
The aluminum, composite and treated woods we use are selected for how they hold up to freeze-thaw cycles, humidity and UV.
Post anchoring, levels, panel fastening: every step is done right, once.
We integrate the privacy screen into your whole outdoor design, not as a last-minute add-on.
Aluminum is the most durable option for an outdoor privacy screen. Light, strong, and available in a wide range of finishes and colours, it won’t rust, warp or fade, and needs almost no maintenance. It’s the go-to choice for high-end projects where looks matter as much as resistance.
Composite offers the warm look of wood without the upkeep. No repainting, no rot, no fading. The composite panels we install keep their appearance for years, even exposed to the elements. It’s a favourite for privacy screens integrated into a composite deck or patio.
See our Fences and installations pageFor those who prefer a natural, organic look, treated wood and cedar remain solid choices. We work with species suited to the Quebec climate and installation techniques that allow good airflow through the wood to extend its lifespan.

A privacy wall is generally opaque and more visually substantial than a standard fence. It is often made of solid composite, tight-slat aluminum, or wood panels, and may incorporate architectural features such as trellis sections or integrated planters. In terms of Quebec regulations, a privacy wall is generally subject to the same municipal rules as a fence regarding maximum height and placement. The main difference lies in aesthetics and price: a high-end aluminum or composite privacy wall typically costs more than an open fence of the same material, but the visual effect and level of privacy are noticeably superior. It is an ideal solution for backyards in urban areas or on properties with close neighbours.
The maximum height for a privacy wall in Quebec is governed by the same municipal regulations as fences. Generally, the permitted height is 2 metres (approximately 6 feet) in the backyard and 1 metre (approximately 3 feet) in the front yard. Some municipalities distinguish between opaque structures (such as a solid privacy wall) and open fences, sometimes allowing a more generous height for partially transparent structures. If you need more privacy than what the regulated height allows, there are creative alternatives: combine a 6-foot privacy wall with tall plantings (cedar hedges, ornamental grasses, hardy bamboo), add a pergola with a canopy or climbing plants above a terrace, or install shade sails. A certified landscaper can design a solution that respects regulations while maximizing your privacy.
The most popular materials for outdoor privacy walls in Quebec are aluminum (horizontal or vertical slats), composite, and wood (cedar or treated lumber). Aluminum offers a modern, contemporary look, requires no maintenance, and perfectly withstands Quebec’s weather for 30 years or more. Composite mimics the appearance of wood without the maintenance drawbacks and lasts between 15 and 25 years depending on quality. Cedar is appreciated for its natural, warm look but requires regular maintenance. For high-end projects, aluminum with a wood-grain texture finish offers the best of both worlds. At Aménagement Chartrand, we install aluminum and wood privacy walls that integrate harmoniously into the existing landscape, taking ventilation into account: slightly spaced slats resist wind better than a fully solid panel.
For over 30 years, Aménagement Chartrand has been turning Montérégie properties into outdoor spaces people actually use. Our Master Landscapers, certified by the APPQ, bring the same care to a privacy screen as to a large landscaping project. Because every detail adds to the value of your property.
