Treating you like family.

We’re Interlock Experts, a family-owned Ottawa interlock installation company that was established in 2009. For over 17 years, we’ve been providing outstanding service to Ottawa homeowners. By the time we’re done working together, you’ll feel like family.

Why Ottawa homeowners choose us

We dig 10-12 inches. Most installers dig 4.

Ottawa's frost line is 4 feet deep. A 4-inch base lifts the second winter. A 10-12 inch base stays put for 25+ years. That is the only reason our driveways still look straight a decade later.

Owner-led every site visit

Same family-owned crew runs every project from first site visit to final walkthrough. Headcount stays at 11 on purpose so the lead installer is on-site at least 80% of every install.

No subcontractors. Ever.

Our crew installs every paver, every joint, every base course. We hold the standard because we hold the equipment. Subcontracting interlock is how most jobs go wrong.

What Ottawa homeowners say

5/5

Our new driveway is dead straight after two winters and still looks brand new. The crew was on time every day and cleaned up better than we expected.

M. Tremblay

Kanata, 2024

Client direct

5/5

Got a written quote within 24 hours and the price never moved. Patio looks exactly like the rendering they sent us.

S. O'Neill

Westboro, 2024

Client direct

5/5

Three years in and still no settling, no weeds. Used Techo-Bloc with a darker border. Multiple neighbours asked who did it.

J. Patel

Barrhaven, 2023

Client direct

5/5

Big backyard transformation — patio, fire pit area, steps to the lawn. Crew worked around our schedule and the kids did not miss a single pool day.

A. Reid

Manotick, 2024

Client direct

5/5

Lifted and re-laid two sunken sections plus re-sanded the whole driveway. Looks like new and did not cost anywhere near a full replacement.

D. MacKenzie

Nepean, 2023

Client direct

5/5

Heritage front walkway needed to look period-correct. They sourced the right paver and the result is exactly what we wanted.

Signs your driveway needs attention

Sunken pavers

Low spots that pool water or trip toes mean the base has settled and needs lifting. See [interlock repair](/interlock-repair/).

Weeds in the joints

Aggressive weed growth means the polymeric sand has washed out and the joints are open. See [paver sealing](/paver-sealing/).

Faded colour

UV-bleached pavers look tired — a clean and seal restores the original tone. See [cleaning](/interlock-cleaning/).

Edge restraint failure

Pavers shifting at the perimeter means the restraint is broken and the field is migrating. See [interlock repair](/interlock-repair/).

Water pooling

Standing water after rain points to grading or base issues that will only get worse. See [drainage solutions](/drainage-solutions/).

Polymeric sand loss

Visible gaps between pavers let water reach the base and accelerate settling. See [polymeric sand](/polymeric-sand-installation/).

Common Ottawa interlock questions

How much does an interlock driveway cost in Ottawa?

Interlock driveways in Ottawa run $20–$50 per square foot depending on pavers and site conditions. Most Ottawa driveways land in the $25–$35 range. A 500 sq ft single-car driveway is around $12,500. Use our calculator for your specific project.

How long does an installation take?

Most driveways: 5–10 working days. Patios: 3–7 days. Walkways: 2–4 days. Repairs: 1–3 days. You will get a specific timeline in your written quote.

What pavers do you use?

Techo-Bloc, Permacon, and Unilock. All freeze-thaw rated for Ottawa winters. We do not install discount pavers that fail year two.

Do I need to be home?

For the on-site measurement: yes (45 minutes). For installation: no — most homeowners are not home most days. We coordinate access.

Are you insured?

Yes. $2M liability coverage and full WSIB clearance. We will email both certificates before any project starts.

How soon can you start?

We are typically booking 4–6 weeks out for spring and summer installs. Repair jobs we can usually slot in within 2 weeks.

Repair or full replacement — which do I need?

If your pavers are intact and the base just shifted, we lift and relay ($8–$20/sq ft). If pavers are cracked, faded, or the base is too far gone, full replacement starts at $25/sq ft.

Do you do small jobs?

Yes. Minimum project around $1,500 (small walkway or repair). No job is too small as long as it is interlock.

After your install — what to maintain

Annual sealing

Re-seal every 2–3 years to lock in colour and stop joint sand from washing out.

Joint sand top-up

Add polymeric sand whenever you see gaps — keeps weeds out and the field locked together.

Gentle cleaning

Mild soap and a soft-bristle brush. Skip the high-pressure tip — it blasts the sand right out.

No rock salt

Use calcium chloride or a paver-safe de-icer. Rock salt eats the paver surface and the sand.

Snow shovel choice

Plastic-edged shovels only — metal blades chip the paver edges and gouge the sealer.
