Custom 3D design from $500 for Ottawa interlock projects. Fee fully credited toward your install when you book. If you do not go ahead, you keep the design files and the fee covers the work.
Our 3D design service is not free — but if you book the install with us, every dollar of the design fee is credited back against your project total. If you decide not to go ahead, you keep the design files and the fee covers our time. Three tiers based on project scope.

Our 3D interlock design process starts with an on-site visit to measure, photograph, and capture the slope and drainage. We model your house, lot, and the proposed installation in 3D so you can see paver colour, pattern, borders, lighting, and how everything will look from the street and the front door — before any commitment to the install.
On-site measure + photography of the lot, slope, and drainage
House and existing landscape modeled in 3D for context
Paver colour, pattern, and border options rendered in scale
Top-down, perspective, and walk-up views of the finished design
Lighting placement and night-view renders on request
Design files yours to keep regardless of whether you book the install

Manotick Estates, March 2025. Full backyard design — 1,500 sq ft patio + 22 ft seating wall + fire pit + integrated lighting. $1,500 design fee, 7 days turnaround. Client booked the install in April. Fee credited 100% against the $62,000 project total.
Refundable when you book — yours to keep either way

3D Interlock Design FAQs
Is 3D design free?
No — and we are direct about that. Single-area designs are $500, multi-area $750, full-backyard $1,500. The full fee is credited against your install invoice if you book the project with us, so the design effectively costs nothing when you go ahead. If you do not book, you keep the design files and the fee covers our time.
How does the credit-back work?
When you book the install, the design fee is applied as a credit on your final invoice. If your project is $25,000 and you paid $500 for the design, your final invoice is $24,500. Same outcome at any tier.
What if I decide not to go ahead?
You keep the design files (PDF + 3D walkthrough renders) and the design fee covers our time. No further charge, no pressure, no follow-up calls.
How long does the design take?
5-10 business days from the on-site visit. Single-area designs lean faster, full-backyard designs run closer to 10 days with multiple iterations.
Can I see the design before paying?
We send a sample rendering style after the on-site visit so you know what to expect. The full custom design starts after the design fee is paid.
Can the design include lighting and landscaping?
Yes. Lighting placement is included in all tiers. Full landscaping (plants, beds, mulch) is part of the full-backyard tier or quoted as an add-on.
What software do you use?
Industry-standard hardscape design software with photoreal render output. Files are delivered as PDFs and walkthrough video clips.
Can I share the design with my partner / family?
Yes. The files are yours. Share the walkthrough video, print the renders, sit on it as long as you need.
Do you do 3D design without offering the install?
Design-only clients are welcome. The fee structure stays the same; only the credit-back changes (no install = no credit applied, you keep the files).
Can the design be modified after I see it?
Yes. Each tier includes a set number of iterations (2-4+ depending on tier). Additional changes are quoted hourly.
