Interlocking & Pavers
Stonework on a base built for Ontario winters.
Overview
What changes for you.
Interlocking fails from the bottom up. Shallow excavation, thin or poorly compacted base and missing edge restraint are why pavers heave, sink and spread after a few freeze-thaw cycles.
We excavate to the depth the use calls for — deeper for driveways — compact in lifts, and lock everything in with edge restraint and joint sand.
Instant curb appeal
A driveway or entry that changes how the whole house reads from the street.
Level for years
Proper base depth and compaction for vehicle or foot traffic.
Repairable
Individual pavers can be lifted and reset — unlike cracked concrete.
Scope
What's included.
- Driveway interlocking
- Walkways and front entries
- Steps and landings
- Patios
- Borders, banding and inlays
- Low retaining and seat walls
- Re-leveling and repairs

Before you start
Worth knowing up front.
Freeze-thaw
Choose pavers suited to Ontario winters and de-icing. We recommend options suited to your use.
Driveway widening
Many municipalities regulate driveway width and curb cuts. We check before quoting.
Drainage
Hard surfaces move water. We slope away from the house and plan where the water goes.
Process
How the work unfolds.
Layout
Pattern, borders and levels confirmed.
Excavate and base
Dig to depth, compact base in lifts.
Lay
Pavers, cuts and edge restraint.
Finish
Joint sand, compaction and cleanup.
FAQ
Interlocking & Pavers: common questions.
Interlocking or concrete for a driveway?
Interlocking costs more up front but is repairable piece by piece and does not crack as one slab.
Why are some interlocking driveways sinking?
Almost always a base problem — insufficient depth, compaction or edge restraint.
Do pavers need sealing?
Sealing is optional. It can deepen colour and resist stains but needs periodic reapplication.
