Interlocking Pavers in the Landscape

Interlocking pavers are a great way to improve your homes curb appeal! There is such a wide array of colors and sizes they are now available in, you can create a unique design for any home. We at Nature's Own Landscaping have been serving the Niagara Region since 2001, and have installed many driveways, patios and walkways. Over the years we have seen many different interlocking projects some are very well done, and others not as well. Properly installed an interlock driveway can look great for years. Here are 2 of the key things you need to keep an eye out for when hiring a landscape contractor to install your interlock.

  • The #1 key to properly installed interlock is the base depending on what the area is going to be used for ex. vehicle use or pedestrian this will determine how much base you need under the pavers. Without the proper base after 1 freeze thaw cycle your interlock will be likely to heave. 
  • People also have a tendency of staying away from interlock because they think about all the weeds they see in some poorly installed driveways. With the technology that's now available in most cases this shouldn't be an issue. If interlock is installed with a proper polymeric stabilizer joint sand the weed issue shouldn't be a problem. In some case the environment that you live may play a role in this ie. you live beside an open field with weeds, or maybe by a body of water where the surface always stays moist in this case you might have a bit of moss.

Pros to using interlock verses concrete:

  • Maybe heaved alittle and cracked? This is one of the great things about interlock it can move a little with our climate changes, and never crack.
  • Did you maybe spill oil on a spot of the driveway? A section of interlock can always be pulled up and replaced.
  • Need to bury something under your walkway, you can just pull up a section of it, and relay it once your done.

  • Driveways

    Interlock driveways can be designed to suit any customers needs and tastes. We have installed everything from Tumbled Pavers with different sizes with other types of pavers accents. To just a plain 4"x8" paver in a herringbone pattern! There are countless different colours, styles and types of pavers. We are great at listening to our customers and working with them to find out what will work best for them! Interlock driveways som...

  • “ We are Pearl and Maurice Clermont who live on nearly 2 acre property on the Niagara Parkway, Niagara Falls. Our house design is Spanish Mediterranean with numerous gardens, pool, outdoor kitchen, as well as a 9 hole pitch and putt green with a 2 channel waterfall and fishpond integrated. Steven, of Natures Own Landscape and Design , worked with us to complete the design layout for landscaping, offer suggestions and improvements. The company than offered a competitive quotation for completing the walls, pool decking, side and front driveways and trim around the front lawn area, in paving stones. They also completed the design and build of our putting green. The work was completed on schedule and with due consideration for our needs. The result is a remarkable yard; which was recognized as very unique and beautiful by the Magazine “Niagara This Week”. Thanks to Steven and his Nature’s Own Crew!”
