Interlock driveways
The premium option — patterns and borders that make the whole house look finished, with individual pavers that can be lifted and relaid if services ever need access.
Driveways and entrances
Curb appeal starts at the curb
The driveway and front entrance are the first thirty feet of your home that anyone experiences — and usually the last thirty feet anyone renovates.
A driveway carries cars through Toronto winters, so the invisible work matters double here: deep excavation, a vehicle-rated compacted base, and drainage that respects both your foundation and the street.

Typical planning ranges
What projects like this tend to cost.
Broad examples
- Interlock driveways in the GTA commonly land in the $8,000–$25,000+ range depending on size and site.
- Front walkway and step packages frequently plan in the mid four figures to low five figures.
- Full entrance makeovers — driveway, walkway, steps, and planting — are priced by component, not one blended rate.
Examples are for early planning only — not a quoted price. Pricing excludes demolition and removal of existing structures. Your range depends on the factors beside this list, and the project planner will give you a range for your specific space.
What moves the price
- Demolition and disposal of the existing surface
- Base depth and compaction rated for vehicles
- Drainage, slope, and municipal requirements at the street
- Paver or finish selection and border details
- Driveway widening rules and curb considerations for your municipality

How it works
From photo to finished project.
- 01Planning
A photo from the street tells us most of what we need; the planner returns a range and concept directions.
- 02Site review
We measure, assess existing base and drainage, and flag any municipal approvals your project touches.
- 03Proposal
Fixed pricing with demolition, base spec, surface, borders, and drainage itemized.
- 04Installation
Most driveways complete within a week; you'll have parking timelines in writing before we start.
Common questions
Answers before you ask.
How soon can I park on a new driveway?
Interlock is drivable as soon as the joints are sanded and compacted — typically right after completion. Concrete needs roughly a week before vehicle loads; asphalt needs a few days and care in its first hot summer.
Do I need city approval to widen my driveway?
Often yes — most GTA municipalities regulate driveway width, soft-landscaping ratios, and anything touching the public boulevard or curb. We flag it early and handle applications where needed.
How does salt affect the surfaces?
Concrete pavers and quality concrete tolerate normal de-icing use; we avoid salt in the first winter for cast concrete and recommend calcium-based products over rock salt near planted areas.
What about the water — where does it go?
Away from the house, first and always. Driveways get deliberate slope and, where needed, channel drains; municipalities generally don't allow draining onto neighbouring properties, so grading is planned, not improvised.
Interlock versus asphalt — how do I choose?
Budget and the look you want. Asphalt is the economical workhorse; interlock costs more upfront but transforms curb appeal, repairs invisibly, and typically outlasts asphalt. The hybrid — asphalt with interlock borders — splits the difference well.
