Professional Interlocking Matters
Backyard interlocking isn’t just stone on the ground. It’s an investment in how your outdoor space looks, functions, and performs over time.
When an interlock is installed without proper planning, insufficient base, poor drainage, or uneven grading, it settles, shifts, and becomes uneven. Professional installation ensures your patio, walkway, or outdoor living area stays level, structurally sound, and visually appealing long after completion.
Interlocking is a preferred choice for patios and walkways because it:
- resists Ontario’s freeze-thaw cycles
- allows individual stones to be lifted and reset if needed
- provides excellent drainage and long-term durability
- integrates naturally with gardens, lighting, and outdoor living spaces

WHAT'S UNDER OUR PAVERS?
The foundation of a strong interlocking installation starts with a layered base. Here, you can see a diagram of a typical interlocking installation, which includes several key elements: a base of compacted soil, a woven fabric weed barrier, a layer of crushed stone for drainage, and a layer of sand for leveling. Finally, the pavers are carefully placed on top of the sand base and secured with polymeric sand, creating a beautiful and durable surface for years to come.

Residential Backyard Interlocking Services
What is backyard interlocking and why is it popular for patios?
Backyard interlocking is a hardscaping method that uses interlocking concrete or stone pavers to create durable patios, walkways, and outdoor living spaces. It’s popular because it offers excellent drainage, long-term durability, and a clean, modern look that enhances backyard functionality and property value.
How long does backyard interlocking installation take?
Most backyard interlocking projects are completed within a few days, depending on the size, design complexity, and site conditions. Smaller patios or walkways may take 2–3 days, while larger backyard interlock installations with steps or retaining walls can take longer.
How long does backyard interlocking last?
When installed properly with correct excavation, base preparation, and drainage, backyard interlocking can last 25 years or more. High-quality materials and professional installation help prevent shifting, sinking, and cracking over time.
Is interlocking better than poured concrete for backyards?
Yes, interlocking is often preferred over concrete for backyards because it handles freeze-thaw cycles better, drains more effectively, and is easier to repair. Individual pavers can be adjusted or replaced without removing the entire surface, making interlock a more flexible long-term solution.
What is installed underneath backyard interlock pavers?
A proper backyard interlocking installation includes excavation, geotextile fabric, a compacted granular base, and a leveling layer before the pavers are installed. This foundation is critical for stability, drainage, and long-term performance in Ontario’s climate.
Can backyard interlocking be combined with sod, planting, or lighting?
Absolutely. Backyard interlocking is commonly integrated with sod installation, garden beds, landscape lighting, and other features to create a complete outdoor space. Proper planning ensures all elements work together seamlessly.
Does backyard interlocking require maintenance?
Backyard interlocking is low-maintenance but benefits from occasional care, such as sweeping, rinsing, and reapplying polymeric sand when needed. Regular maintenance helps preserve appearance and prevents weed growth between pavers.
How much does backyard interlocking cost in the GTA?
The cost of backyard interlocking varies based on size, materials, site conditions, and design complexity. Most residential backyard interlocking projects in the GTA range widely, and the best way to get accurate pricing is through an on-site consultation and custom quote.
Do I need a permit for backyard interlocking in Ontario?
In most cases, backyard interlocking does not require a permit, especially for patios and walkways. However, certain conditions such as drainage changes, retaining walls over a specific height, or proximity to property lines may require approval. A professional contractor will review local bylaws and ensure your backyard interlocking project complies with municipal regulations.
When is the best time of year to install backyard interlocking?
The best time for backyard interlocking installation is typically from spring through fall, when ground conditions allow for proper excavation and compaction. Planning early in the season helps secure scheduling and ensures your interlock is completed in time to enjoy your backyard during peak outdoor months.
