Interlocking & Hardscaping in Durham Region

Stone-cut precision, built on a proper base.

What we do

Every stone starts with the base beneath it.

Interlock patios, walkways, retaining walls and steps. Natural stone and concrete pavers, set on a true compacted base. Every hardscape project starts with six inches of engineered aggregate, compacted in lifts, with drainage plotted before the first stone is set.

We build for Canadian freeze-thaw: proper edge restraint, polymeric sand joints, and grading that moves water away from the foundation. The result is stonework that holds its line for decades, not seasons.

Common questions

Interlocking FAQ

Most residential patios take 3 to 5 days from excavation to final polymeric sand. Larger projects with retaining walls may take a week or more.

Natural stone offers unique colour and texture but costs more. Concrete pavers are uniform, come in more patterns, and are easier to replace. Both last decades on a proper base.

Standard patios don't require a permit. Retaining walls over a certain height (typically 1 metre) may need one. We'll advise during the quote and handle the application if needed.
