For detailed examples, see our landscaping price list or try our interlock cost calculator. Driveway landscaping is designed and built by Interlock Experts, start to finish.
Driveway landscaping is the work that turns a paver driveway from “installed” to “finished.” Garden beds, edging, low walls, landscape lighting, and clean transitions to lawn give the driveway visual weight and lift the entire front of the home. We design the framing during the install (or back-fit it later to an existing driveway).
Edging, low walls, beds and lighting are planned with the driveway, so the trenching is done once and the edges match.
Same family-owned crew runs every project. Headcount stays at 11 so the lead installer is on-site 80% of every install.
Local crew that knows Ottawa soils, frost line, and municipal requirements. Quick callbacks if anything ever needs attention.

After
Before
The planting strip along the fence was cleared, a base was dug and compacted, and a new paver walkway was laid in its place.
Recent job: Kanata Lakes, July 2024. Existing driveway with raw lawn edges. Added Permacon edging, a 14 ft low retaining wall on the slope side, 6 landscape lights, and a starter perennial bed. 4 days on-site.
Most contractors install the driveway and leave you to figure out the edges. We design the whole framing — pavers, walls, beds, lighting, mulch — as one project. Coordinated trenching saves you cost and the result actually looks like one designer touched it.
Kanata. Driveway landscaping across Kanata Lakes, Bridlewood, and Morgan’s Grant. Larger lots usually call for full-frame packages with walls and lighting, usually starting around $3,000 plus HST.
Barrhaven. Driveway landscaping across Half Moon Bay, Stonebridge, and Longfields. Newer Barrhaven driveways benefit hugely from added borders and lighting, and most packages run $900-$3,000 plus HST.
Orleans. Driveway landscaping across Avalon, Fallingbrook, and Chapel Hill. Mature lawns often need edging and bed work, usually in the $900-$3,000 plus HST range.
Nepean. Driveway landscaping across Centrepointe, Tanglewood, and Crestview. Older Nepean driveways pair well with reset borders and lighting upgrades.
Stittsville. Larger Stittsville and Amberwood lots support full driveway frames with substantial planting beds and feature walls.
Gloucester. Driveway landscaping across Beacon Hill and Blackburn Hamlet. Edge restoration plus salt-tolerant planting is the common Gloucester package.
Manotick. Estate driveway landscaping across Mahogany and Manotick Estates. Long driveways benefit from anchor walls and continuous lighting — typical $8,000-$15,000.
Riverside South. New-build driveway landscaping across Honey Gables and Quinn’s Pointe. Most builds need the framing the builder skipped — beds, edging, lighting.
Centretown. Tight-lot driveway landscaping across the Golden Triangle and Sandy Hill. Heritage-style planters and narrow garden strips are typical.
Westboro. Heritage driveway landscaping across Westboro Beach, Champlain Park, and McKellar Park. Period-appropriate planting and stone edging.
Alta Vista. Driveway landscaping across Pleasant Park, Faircrest Heights, and Hawthorne Meadows. Root-aware plantings around mature trees.
The Glebe. Heritage driveway landscaping across Lansdowne, Patterson Creek, and Brown’s Inlet. Narrow front gardens and heritage planting palettes.

Yes. Most of our driveway landscaping is back-fit work on existing pavers. We work without disturbing the installed surface.
Salt-tolerant perennials and shrubs sized for Ottawa winters — varies by exposure and site. We bring a selection during the on-site visit so you pick what matches your home.
Low-voltage landscape lighting we install ourselves. If you want hard-wired 120V fixtures or a connection to the house panel, we coordinate with a licensed electrician.
Yes. Decorative low walls (1-3 courses, under 3 ft) are part of driveway landscaping. Anything taller becomes a structural retaining wall — we handle those too, with proper engineering.
Yes — and we recommend it. Coordinated trenching for drainage, lighting conduit, and edge restraints saves you cost vs. back-fitting later.
Drip line irrigation prep is included in the Best tier. Full irrigation systems require a licensed irrigation contractor and we will coordinate.
Yes. We seed or sod any disturbed lawn edges as part of cleanup. New seed takes 4-6 weeks to establish in summer; sod is ready immediately.
