The Ontario approach

Patios, Walkways & Paving Repairs, done the way it should be in Richmond Hill.

A patio is only as good as what is under it. Most sunken patios we see in Ontario failed because the original installer skipped the proper base depth. 150mm of crushed stone feels adequate until the first winter frost heave, and by year three the pavers are rocking.

We excavate 300mm minimum, lay geotextile fabric to stop subgrade migration, and compact three 75mm lifts of crushed ¾-inch stone. The extra time and material costs us more, and costs you less over the 30-year life of the installation. A proper interlocking paver patio built this way will not sink, heave or shift for three decades.

We install Unilock, Techo-Bloc and Permacon pavers, plus Indian sandstone, limestone flagstone and granite. Stamped and exposed-aggregate concrete is available as a less expensive alternative. Each is built with the same obsessive base prep. Integrated lighting, French drains for poor-drainage sites, and fire-pit or outdoor-kitchen builds all available as add-ons.

How long does a paver patio last?
A properly installed interlocking paver patio lasts 30+ years with minimal maintenance. The pavers themselves are rated for 100+ years.
Do pavers need sealing?
Not strictly, but sealing every 3 to 5 years enriches colour, stabilises jointing sand and makes stains easier to clean.
Can you repair sunken pavers?
Yes. We lift the affected area, re-level the base, re-lay the pavers and re-sand the joints. Much cheaper than rebuilding.
Can I add lighting to the patio?
Yes. We install low-voltage LED lighting in step risers, paver borders, and as path markers.
How do you handle drainage?
Every patio is built with a minimum 2% slope away from the house. For areas with poor soil drainage we install a French drain at the downhill edge.
Can you build around trees?
Yes, and it is a common request. We hand-excavate within the drip line to avoid damaging structural roots, use a permeable base (or no base at all) directly over root zones, and leave an expansion gap around the trunk.
What about retaining walls as part of the build?
Segmental-block retaining walls (Allan Block, Techo-Bloc walls) are part of our standard offering. We engineer walls over 1m to Ontario Building Code and pull permits where needed.
