What driveway customers 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

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

Extended an existing driveway and matched the original pavers perfectly. You honestly can't tell where the old work ends and the new begins.

Areas we serve

Kanata. Interlock driveways across Kanata Lakes, Bridlewood, Morgan’s Grant, Beaverbrook, and Katimavik. Single-car driveways average $8,000-$14,000 and double driveways average $15,000-$25,000. We dig to 10-12 inches for our frost-proof base on Kanata clay soils.

Barrhaven. New-construction driveways across Half Moon Bay, Stonebridge, Longfields, Davidson Heights, Chapman Mills, and Strandherd. Most Barrhaven driveways are double-wide with contrasting borders — $15,000-$22,000 range. We replace builder-installed asphalt with proper interlock.

Orleans. Driveway installs across Avalon, Fallingbrook, Chapel Hill, Convent Glen, and Queenswood Heights. Older Orleans homes often need full asphalt tear-out and regrading away from the foundation — we handle both as part of the install.

Nepean. Driveway installs across Centrepointe, Tanglewood, Crestview, and Trend-Arlington. Mature Nepean trees mean root awareness during excavation — we adjust base depth and use root barriers where needed.

Stittsville. Larger-lot driveways across Jackson Trails, Crossing Bridge Estates, and Amberwood. Stittsville driveways are often longer than the Ottawa average — typical install $18,000-$30,000 with custom borders.

Gloucester. Driveway installs across Beacon Hill, Blackburn Hamlet, and Hunt Club. Gloucester driveways near road-salt routes need premium freeze-thaw pavers — we spec Techo-Bloc and Permacon dense pavers as standard.

Manotick. Estate driveways across Mahogany, Manotick Estates, Long Island, and Manotick Village. Circular drives, longer runs, and decorative inlays are a regular part of our Manotick work — $25,000-$60,000 typical range.

Riverside South. New-build driveways across Honey Gables and the Riverside South village. Most Riverside South homes have asphalt from the builder — we tear out and rebuild with interlock on a proper compacted base.

Centretown. Tight urban driveways across the Golden Triangle and Centretown West. We bring smaller equipment for downtown laneways and rear-access drives. Permit and curb-cut coordination is part of the work.

Westboro. Heritage-friendly driveway installs across Westboro Beach, Highland Park, and McKellar Park. Period-appropriate paver styles and clean tie-ins to original stone walls are part of our Westboro standard.

Alta Vista. Driveway installs across Heron Park, Faircrest Heights, and Playfair Park. Larger lots and curved drives are common — we cut every paver cleanly with wet saws so curves stay tight.

The Glebe. Narrow heritage driveways across the Glebe and the Old Ottawa South border. Tight neighbour clearances and original stone curb tie-ins — we coordinate with neighbours on access and protect shared property.

Interlock driveway FAQs

How much does interlock driveway installation cost in Ottawa?

Interlock driveway installation in Ottawa typically costs $25 to $35 per square foot, including excavation, base, pavers, and polymeric sand. Removal of an existing asphalt or concrete driveway, drainage work, and premium pavers can increase the total.

How long does an interlock driveway installation take?

Most residential interlock driveways take 5 to 10 working days from excavation to final cleanup, depending on size, weather, and complexity. Larger or custom projects may take longer.

Do you remove the existing asphalt or concrete driveway?

Yes. We break up and haul away your old asphalt, concrete, or interlock driveway before starting the new base. Removal is quoted separately and depends on thickness and disposal fees.

What are the best pavers for Ottawa winters?

We recommend Techo-Bloc, Permacon, and Unilock pavers rated for freeze-thaw climates. These are dense, low-absorption pavers that resist salt damage and Ottawa's deep frost cycles.

How deep do you dig for the base?

For Ottawa driveways we excavate 10 to 12 inches and compact limestone screenings in lifts with a plate compactor. This base depth resists frost heave through our deep freeze-thaw cycles.

Can you install over my existing driveway?

No. A proper interlock driveway requires removing the existing surface and building a new compacted base. Installing over asphalt or concrete leads to settling, cracking, and failure.

Do you install in winter?

We schedule interlock driveway installations from April through November when ground conditions allow proper excavation and compaction. Winter months are reserved for planning and quotes.

What is polymeric sand and why does it matter?

Polymeric sand is a jointing sand mixed with binders that harden when wet. It locks pavers together, prevents weed growth, and stops ants from undermining your driveway.

Do you install interlock driveways in Manotick?

Yes. We install interlock driveways across Manotick — Mahogany, Manotick Estates, Long Island, and Manotick Village. Larger executive driveways and circular drives are a regular part of our work in the area.

Do you install interlock driveways in Barrhaven?

Yes. We install interlock driveways across Barrhaven — Half Moon Bay, Stonebridge, Longfields, Davidson Heights, Chapman Mills, and Strandherd.

Do you install interlock driveways in Kanata?

Yes. We install interlock driveways across Kanata — Kanata Lakes, Bridlewood, Morgan's Grant, Beaverbrook, and Katimavik. Single-car driveways average $8,000-$14,000 and double driveways average $15,000-$25,000.
