Our Ottawa crews handle every step of your paver driveway project: site assessment, excavation to frost-proof depth, geotextile fabric, compacted granular base, screeded bedding sand, paver installation, edge restraints, polymeric sand sweeping, and full site cleanup. We work with homeowners across Ottawa from one-car driveways to large multi-car installations.
Ottawa frost line is 4 feet. A 4-inch base lifts the second winter. Our base stays put for 25+ years.
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.

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.
Three years in and still no settling, no weeds. Used Techo-Bloc with a darker border. Multiple neighbours asked who did it.
Extended an existing driveway and matched the original pavers perfectly. You honestly can't tell where the old work ends and the new begins.
Quote was itemized and clear. No pressure, no follow-up calls — just a professional crew that showed up when they said they would.

Freeze-thaw rated, dense, low-absorption pavers from the three top Canadian brands. Hundreds of colours and patterns. We help you pick during your on-site visit.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. We install interlock driveways across Barrhaven — Half Moon Bay, Stonebridge, Longfields, Davidson Heights, Chapman Mills, and Strandherd.
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.
Yes. We install interlock driveways across Ottawa, including Kanata, Barrhaven, Orleans, Nepean, Stittsville, Gloucester, Manotick, Riverside South, Centretown, Westboro, Alta Vista, and The Glebe.
