The Trivium Philosophy

At Trivium Contracting, our name is more than just a label; it reflects a foundational philosophy inspired by the ancient liberal arts. The Trivium – Latin for 'the meeting of three roads' – historically represented the cornerstone of classical education, comprising Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric.

  • Grammar: The art of understanding and structuring language, providing a solid foundation of knowledge. For Trivium Contracting, this translates to clear communication, meticulous planning, and a deep understanding of our clients' needs and the intricacies of each project.

  • Logic (or Dialectic): The art of critical thinking and reasoning. In our operations, this means a thoughtful approach to problem-solving, efficient design, and ensuring the structural integrity and functionality of every build.

  • Rhetoric: The art of effective communication and persuasion. For us, this is about clearly articulating our vision, building trust with our clients, and ensuring a smooth and collaborative project experience from initial inquiry to the final touches.

Just as the Trivium provided the essential tools for intellectual growth in ancient times, at Trivium Contracting, these principles guide our approach to every project. We believe in a solid foundation of understanding, a logical approach to construction, and clear, open communication to bring your outdoor vision to life with skill and integrity. Our name is a constant reminder of the timeless values that underpin our commitment to quality and client satisfactio

Hot Design. Cool Shade.

Trivium Contracting and Shade Sails’ owner, Stephen Eusebi, traveled the world for thirty years working as an electrician and general contractor.

While living in Australia, his passion for engineering and eye for design took note of the Australians’ brilliant solution for finding relief from the Sun in strikingly colorful sails to protect decks, patios, pools, playgrounds or any other favorite outdoor spot from scorching UV radiation!

After moving back to Canada, Stephen has been hard at work building custom projects for outdoor spaces. He has been beautifying the local countryside with shade sails, using fabrics from some of the top manufacturers in the business including Shadetec 320, Extrablock 330, and Monotec 370. Along with multiple other affiliates & partnerships, our goal is to become an established design & build team as well as a leader in shade sail installations.

Trivium and its team of contractors with years of experience can work with you to make your dream outdoor living experience a reality.
