An interlock surface is only as good as what is under it: full-depth excavation, woven geotextile, compacted granular base, and clean bedding sand. That is the difference between a patio that is still flat in year ten and one that waves and sinks by year three. It is where we and our hardscape partners spend the unglamorous hours – and why the guarantee is easy to give.
Entertaining-sized patios with borders, inlays, and steps that fit the house.
Front walks and side paths that lift curb appeal and handle winter shoveling.
Vehicle-rated base depth and pavers made to carry cars without rutting.
Stone and precast steps, edge restraints, and garden borders that hold their line.
Lifting, re-levelling, and re-sanding of existing interlock that has settled.
Interlock is the workhorse of Ottawa hardscaping – it handles freeze-thaw better than poured concrete, repairs invisibly, and comes in enough styles to suit a century home in the Glebe or a new build in Barrhaven. We build patios that fit how you entertain, front walkways that survive shoveling, and driveways with a vehicle-rated base that will not rut.
Interlock is a specialist trade, so we deliver it the honest way: our vetted hardscape partners – crews that lay stone all day, every day – build the surface, while our own crew handles everything around it: grading and drainage, lawn, beds and planting. You sign one contract with us and hold one guarantee, and the yard comes together as one project instead of three.
Interlock quotes in Ottawa range wildly, and the difference is almost never the paver – it is the invisible work. Our quotes itemize excavation depth, geotextile, granular base, and edge restraint, so you can put two bids side by side and see exactly what the cheaper one is leaving out.
Installed interlock in Ottawa commonly runs $18-$45 per square foot depending on the paver, the site access, and how much excavation and base work the ground needs. A typical patio lands in the $5,000-$30,000 range. Your written quote breaks out the base work explicitly, so you can compare bids honestly.
We deliver interlock projects together with our long-standing, vetted hardscape partners – crews that build interlock all day, every day. You still get one contract, one schedule, and one guarantee from us, and our crew handles the surrounding grading, lawn, and planting.
Almost always the base: too shallow, wrong material, or not compacted in lifts. Ottawa's clay and freeze-thaw find every shortcut. Re-levelling can rescue a good surface on a bad base, but a proper rebuild is often the honest answer – we will tell you which yours needs.
Yes – lifting and re-levelling settled areas, replacing broken pavers, and re-sanding joints with polymeric sand.
