Interlock & Pavers

Interlock, Stone Walkways & Pavers

Base preparation and drainage decide whether hardscape settles evenly or heaves. Most of the work happens below the surface, which is why a cheap interlock quote is usually a quote for less excavation.

Overview

What the Work Involves

A interlock, walkway or paver project with ZaRRuS covers patios and walkways, driveway interlock, steps and landings, borders and edge restraint, base preparation and drainage, and polymeric sand and sealing. The work is planned and installed as one job across Toronto and the GTA.

From patios and walkways to garden paths, borders, steps, and paver layouts, the work is designed to feel structured, durable, and visually cohesive with the rest of the property.

Base preparation and drainage are the difference between hardscape that settles evenly and hardscape that heaves — most of the work happens below the surface.

Questions

Interlock, Stone Walkways & Pavers Questions

How long does an interlock installation take?

One to three weeks. Most of it is excavation, base preparation and compaction — the laying is the visible part, not the long part.

What’s included in an interlock or paver installation?

Excavation, base preparation, edge restraint, laying, cutting, polymeric sand and compaction. Drainage work and retaining structures are separate scopes.

Do I need a permit for interlock or paving?

Hardscape at grade usually does not require a building permit, though front-yard paving and boulevard work can be restricted by local by-law. Locate calls are made before excavation.
