What Goes Underneath.
Most patios and driveways don’t fail at the surface — they fail at the bottom. Here’s what we build into every install, layer by layer, designed to hold up through Ontario freeze–thaw seasons.
Swept between the paver joints and set with water. It locks the pavers together, keeps weeds from growing up, and stops ants from making homes in the joints.
The surface you walk on or drive over. Material, colour, and pattern are chosen with you during the design stage.
A thin layer of sand that we level out by hand until it’s perfectly flat. It’s what lets us set every paver at exactly the right height — so you get a smooth surface with no sunken spots or wobbly stones.
A deep layer of crushed gravel, packed down hard in stages. This is the foundation that carries all the weight — it’s the difference between a surface that stays put for decades and one that sinks and cracks after a few winters.
A tough fabric layer laid between the gravel and the soil underneath. It stops the two from mixing together over time — which is the hidden reason most older patios slowly sink and go uneven.
The native ground, dug out to depth, compacted firm, and graded with a slope away from the house — so water always runs away from your foundation, not toward it.
