Driveways and Walkways That Make a Statement.

Curb Appeal That Lasts Decades

Your driveway is the first thing visitors see and the surface your vehicles cross every single day. In the Fraser Valley, driveways face a unique combination of challenges: heavy rainfall that saturates the base, freeze and thaw cycles that heave poorly prepared surfaces, and the daily weight of vehicles that can crack and rut inadequate installations. An interlocking paver driveway engineered for these conditions will outperform poured concrete and asphalt in both longevity and appearance.

The critical difference between a driveway and a patio installation is base depth. Where a patio base is typically 6 inches of compacted gravel, a driveway requires 8 to 12 inches depending on soil conditions and vehicle weight. We excavate to the full required depth, install the gravel base in 2 inch lifts with mechanical compaction between each lift, and verify density before proceeding. This deeper base distributes vehicle loads across a wider area and prevents the rutting and settling that plagues driveways built on insufficient bases.

Walkways follow the same engineering principles on a smaller scale. Every walkway we build includes proper excavation, compacted base, bedding sand, edge restraint, and polymeric joint sand. We grade every walkway for positive drainage and integrate it with the driveway and property drainage systems. The result is a walkway that stays level, drains cleanly, and resists frost heave.

We offer interlocking pavers from Belgard, Unilock, Techo-Bloc, and Pavestone in patterns ranging from simple running bond to intricate herringbone with soldier course borders. For driveways, we typically recommend thicker pavers (80mm) in a herringbone pattern, which provides the highest interlock strength and load distribution. Walkways can use standard 60mm pavers in a wider variety of patterns.

Every driveway and walkway project includes a detailed design that accounts for your property's grade changes, connection points to the garage or front entry, and integration with any existing landscape features. We handle everything from demolition and disposal of the old surface to final compaction and sealing of the new installation.
