A paver job succeeds or fails below the surface. We excavate to the right depth, build a compacted stone base in layers and prepare the bedding carefully to limit settling and frost heave.
We help you choose sizes, colours and patterns, and tie the pavers into the rest of the landscaping: borders, beds, lighting.
Typical projects
- Driveways and parking areas
- Walkways and footpaths
- Patios and seating areas
- Steps and landings
- Retaining walls and decorative walls
- Repair and re-levelling of settled pavers
A base built for frost
In Quebec, water freezing under pavers makes them move. The key: good drainage, a compacted base and a slope that sends water away from the house. That's what we prepare before the first stone goes down. We recommend booking early, as paver calendars fill up from spring.
Frequently asked questions
Can settled pavers be repaired?
Often yes: we lift the pavers, correct the base and relay them. The visit lets us confirm the cause of the settling.
How long does a paver project take?
It depends on the area and the preparation needed. We give a timeline in the estimate.
Do you build retaining walls?
Yes, decorative and retaining walls, with drainage behind the wall when needed.
