Outdoor · Interlocking & Patios
Interlock that stays flat through the freeze-thaw.
Pavers fail from the bottom up. When the base is too thin or poorly compacted, water and frost push stones out of line within a few winters. We excavate, build and compact a granular base, slope it away from your house, and lock the edges so the surface stays put.

Local rules
What Ontario rules mean for your project.
Summarised from official sources. Rules vary by city and change over time, so we confirm them for your address.
Drainage comes first
A patio that slopes toward the house sends meltwater to your foundation. We grade every patio and walkway to carry water away.
Locates before excavation
We request free utility locates through Ontario One Call before we dig.

Questions
Interlocking & Patios: common questions.
Serving Mississauga, Toronto, Oakville, Brampton and Vaughan and the rest of the GTA.
How much does interlock cost?
Regular paver patios and walkways run about $40 to $55 per square foot installed, plus HST, with a $1,500 minimum for the smallest jobs. As an example, about 240 sq ft of pavers came to roughly $10,000. Bigger areas cost less per foot; steps, curves and tight access cost more.
Will weeds grow between the pavers?
Polymeric sand in the joints hardens and resists weeds and ants. It needs topping up every few years.
