Anyone can lay stone. What keeps a patio flat through a Niagara winter is what sits under it: the right depth of excavation, clean granular base compacted in lifts, a screeded bedding layer levelled by hand. We build that part properly, then the stone goes on top of it.
Flat work, walls and the digging that goes under both. If a job needs two of these, it is still one crew and one price.
Starting at $25 / sq ft
Starting at $20 / sq ft
We measure, look at the grade, check access for the machine, and find out where water goes now. Bring us your ideas; we will tell you straight which ones the site supports.
Materials, labour, machine time, disposal of whatever comes out: one number, before anything starts. Usually back to you the same day.
Excavation to depth, spoil hauled off, granular base in and compacted in lifts. This is most of the job and most of the reason it lasts.
Bedding screeded, units laid and cut around the edges, edge restraint set, polymeric sand swept in and set off.
Off-cuts and packaging hauled away, hard surfaces swept, and we walk the finished job with you before we pull out.
Interlock patios start from $25 per square foot and interlock walkways from $20 per square foot, for standard concrete pavers. Premium Techo-Bloc and Permacon products and curved layouts sit above that. Retaining walls and armour stone are quoted per job rather than per square foot, because height, drainage and the stone itself drive the cost far more than the area does. Either way the rate is a starting point, not a quote: tearing out an existing surface, steps and level changes, retaining along the edge and poor machine access all move it. We look at the site and give you one all-in number before anything starts.
Most residential patios and walkways run two to four days on site, depending on size, access and how much digging the base needs. You get the schedule with the quote. If there is an old patio, deck or walkway in the way, we tear it out and haul it off on the same job, so you are not hiring a second company for the demolition.
That is what the base is for. Stone laid on thin or uncompacted fill moves the first time the ground freezes and thaws. We excavate to depth, put in clean granular, compact it in lifts rather than all at once, then screed the bedding layer level. It costs more in machine time up front and it is the whole difference two winters later.
Yes, and it is normally cheaper to have us do both. The machine is already on site and the trailer is already there, so removing the old surface and hauling it away gets quoted into the same price.
Concrete pavers and slabs, natural flagstone, armour stone, and segmental block wall systems. We will walk you through what suits the site and the budget, and you can pick the exact product at the supply yard before we order.
Most residential patios and walkways do not. Retaining walls above roughly a metre often do, and the threshold and rules vary by municipality across Niagara. We flag it when we quote so you are not finding out afterwards.
Roughly from once the frost is out of the ground in spring through to late fall. Spring and early summer book up first, so if you want a patio for the summer it is worth getting the quote in over the winter.
One crew, one call, one invoice. If a job crosses two of these, it still gets quoted as a single price.
Send the details and we'll come back with a firm, all-in price, usually the same day. For storm damage or anything urgent, call us directly.
