 provides residential and commercial masonry repair throughout Toronto, backed by 22+ years combined Toronto masonry and heritage restoration. We install and relay interlocking driveways, patios and walkways with the base depth and compaction that keep pavers level through Toronto winters. Most sinking interlock is a base problem, so that is where we spend the effort.

A recent Vaughan interlocking and stone entry project ran $28K; typical work is $8,000 to $35,000.

## Interlock That Stays Level

Interlocking **concrete pavers** look great when new. Whether they still look great after five Toronto winters depends almost entirely on what is underneath. Sinking, heaving and spreading interlock is nearly always a base problem.

## What Goes Under Good Interlock

| Layer | Purpose | Sign it was done wrong |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Excavated subgrade | Removes soft topsoil | Pavers sink in patches within a few seasons |
| Geotextile | Separates base from subsoil | Clay works up into the base and it loses strength |
| Granular A base | Load-bearing crushed stone, compacted in lifts with a plate compactor | Ruts where car tires sit and frost heave in winter |
| Bedding layer | Even bed for pavers | Rocking pavers and uneven joints |
| Pavers + polymeric sand | Locked surface that resists weeds | Weeds, ants and joint sand washing out |
| Edge restraint | Stops pavers spreading | Edges creep outward and joints open up |

## Relaying Sunken Interlock

If your pavers are in good shape but the surface has sunk or rolled, we lift them, rebuild the base and relay the same pavers. It costs less than new paving and fixes the real problem.

> **Drainage slope**
> 
> Every driveway and patio we build has a **drainage slope** away from the house, so water does not end up against your foundation.

Questions We Hear Every Week

## Interlocking Stonework FAQs

How much does interlocking cost in Toronto?

Interlocking projects in Toronto typically run $8,000 to $35,000 depending on area, base depth, pavers and features.

Why does interlock sink?

Usually because the base was too thin, not compacted in lifts, or mixed with the subsoil. We excavate properly and use geotextile.

Can sunken interlock be relaid?

Yes. We lift the pavers, rebuild the base and relay the same pavers where they are in good shape.

What is polymeric sand?

Sand with a binder that hardens when wetted, locking pavers and resisting weeds and ants.

How deep should a driveway base be?

Deeper than a walkway, sized for vehicle loads and soil. We specify it per site.

Can you add stone steps and borders?

Yes. Our masons build natural stone entries, steps and borders.

How long does it take?

Usually 3 to 8 days.

Is there a warranty?

Yes, a written 10-year workmanship warranty.
