For detailed examples, see our backyard project price list or try our interlock cost calculator. Every backyard is built by a family-run interlocking contractor in Ottawa, not a subcontracted crew.

Our Ottawa crews design and build complete backyard interlock projects. We coordinate every element – patios, walks, walls, steps, planters, and lighting – so the finished backyard works as one outdoor living space. We handle grading, drainage, and lawn restoration so the result is ready to enjoy on day one.

  • Paver patios and lounging areas
  • Connecting walkways and side paths
  • Retaining walls and garden walls
  • Steps and multi-level grade changes
  • Seat walls and built-in fire pits
  • Low-voltage outdoor lighting and planters

Why Ottawa homeowners choose us

We dig 8-10 inches under patios. Most installers dig 4.

Ottawa frost line is 4 feet. A 4-inch base lifts the second winter. Backyard patios get 8-10 inches of compacted base, walkways 6-8, driveways 10-12.

Owner-led every site visit since 2009

Same family-owned crew runs every project. Headcount stays at 11 so the lead installer is on-site 80% of every install.

Crew based in Nepean, 20-minute radius to every job

Local crew that knows Ottawa soils, frost line, and municipal requirements. Quick callbacks if anything ever needs attention.

Backyard interlock FAQs

How much does a backyard interlock project cost in Ottawa?

Backyard interlock projects in Ottawa start from about $5,000 for a small patio. A patio with steps, a retaining wall or drainage typically starts around $11,000 plus HST, and full backyards with walls, steps and lighting are priced after a free on-site design visit. We provide written quotes after an on-site consultation.

How long does a backyard interlock project take?

Small patio projects are usually finished in 1 to 2 weeks. Full backyard transformations with walls, steps, and lighting can take 3 to 6 weeks depending on scope and weather.

Can you design my backyard?

Yes. We provide design consultation and a layout sketch as part of our quoting process. For larger projects we can produce a more detailed plan with paver and material samples.

Do you do retaining walls and steps?

Yes. We build engineered retaining walls and interlock steps as part of most backyard projects, including the proper drainage and base preparation they require.

Do you install outdoor lighting?

Yes. We install low-voltage landscape lighting along walkways, steps, walls, and patio borders. Lighting cable is run while the hardscape is being built.

Can you add a seating area to my backyard?

Yes. Seat walls, pillars, and built-in benches are standard parts of a backyard build and we price them with the rest of the project.

Will heavy machinery damage my lawn?

We protect lawns and gardens with plywood pathways and access mats wherever possible, and we re-grade and seed any disturbed areas when we leave.

Do you handle drainage problems?

Yes. We grade hardscape to direct water away from the house, install French drains where needed, and tie patio drainage into existing weeping tile or surface drains.

Best time of year to start a backyard project?

Most Ottawa backyard interlock projects run from April through November. Booking in winter or early spring usually gives you better scheduling options.

Do you offer backyard interlock near me in Ottawa?

Yes. Our crew is based in Nepean and most Ottawa jobs are within a 20-minute drive. Tell us your address and we will book a free on-site measure.
