Interlock Installation in Ottawa
Driveways, patios, and walkways installed with proper excavation, compacted base, and clean edges designed to handle Ottawa freeze thaw cycles without sinking.
What is interlock installation?
We install interlock driveways, walkways, patios, and front entrances for Ottawa homeowners who want a surface that looks sharp and holds up. Every project starts with proper excavation and a compacted granular base. We build to the right depth for your soil conditions and usage, whether that is a pedestrian walkway or a driveway that handles daily vehicle traffic. Pavers are laid in your chosen pattern, edges are cut clean, and the whole surface is locked in with quality edge restraints and polymeric sand. We focus on getting the base right because that is what determines how your interlock performs through Ottawa freeze thaw cycles. Corners, transitions, curves, and border details are handled with care so the finished product looks intentional and precise.

Our process
A clean finish starts with the steps you do not see. We build from the base up.
Step 1
Consultation and site review
We confirm access, drainage, existing materials, and project scope before any work starts.
Step 2
Excavation and base preparation
We dig to the correct depth, add compacted granular base in lifts, and establish proper slope for drainage.
Step 3
Paver installation
We lay pavers in your chosen pattern, cut edges cleanly, and secure borders with edge restraints.
Step 4
Jointing and final cleanup
We sweep and compact polymeric sand into joints, clean the surface, and walk you through care and maintenance.
