Expert Interlocking Installation in Scarborough
Interlocking pavers are the gold standard for driveways, patios, and walkways in Scarborough — and for good reason. Unlike poured concrete that cracks under our harsh freeze-thaw cycles, or asphalt that deteriorates and needs constant patching, properly installed interlocking flexes with the ground and lasts decades. But the key word is "properly installed." In Scarborough's clay-heavy soil, base preparation isn't just important — it's everything.
At Dawn Till Dusk Landscaping, we don't cut corners on the part you can't see. Our interlocking installations start with full excavation to a minimum of 12 inches for driveways and 10 inches for patios. We install a properly graded crushed limestone base in compacted lifts, add a layer of bedding sand, and then lay your chosen pavers with precision. Every joint is filled with polymeric sand to lock everything in place and prevent weed growth.
We've completed hundreds of interlocking projects across Scarborough — from simple front walkway replacements to complete driveway and backyard transformations. We work with premium Canadian paver brands like Permacon, Techo-Bloc, and Unilock, offering dozens of styles, colours, and patterns to suit any home. Whether you prefer the classic elegance of herringbone, the modern look of large-format slabs, or a natural stone aesthetic, we'll help you find the perfect match.

Interlocking FAQs — Scarborough
How much does an interlocking driveway cost in Scarborough?
Interlocking driveway costs in Scarborough typically range from $18–28 per square foot installed, depending on the paver type, pattern complexity, and excavation requirements. A standard two-car driveway (400–600 sq ft) usually costs between $8,000 and $16,000. We provide free on-site estimates with detailed breakdowns of materials and labour.
How long does interlocking last in Scarborough's climate?
Properly installed interlocking with a correct base layer can last 25–30+ years in Scarborough's freeze-thaw climate. The key is the base preparation — we use a minimum 8-inch crushed limestone base with proper compaction and slope for drainage. This prevents heaving and settling that causes problems with cheaper installations.
Do interlocking pavers need maintenance?
Interlocking requires minimal maintenance. We recommend re-sanding joints every 2–3 years with polymeric sand to prevent weed growth and ant intrusion. Power washing every few years keeps pavers looking fresh. Sealing is optional but extends colour retention. If a paver cracks, individual units can be replaced without disturbing the rest.
Can you install interlocking in winter in Scarborough?
We install interlocking from April through November when ground conditions allow for proper excavation and base compaction. Winter installations are generally not recommended because frozen ground prevents proper compaction, which is critical for long-term durability. We recommend booking fall projects by early September for completion before frost.
What paver brands do you use?
We work with premium Canadian manufacturers including Permacon, Techo-Bloc, Unilock, and Barkman. These brands offer superior freeze-thaw durability, colour-fast pigments, and nationwide warranties. We'll help you choose the right product based on your design preferences, budget, and intended use.
