Overview
Hardscaping & Paving Stone
A paver patio is only as good as what is under it. Alberta frost will heave any hardscape built on a shallow base, which is why we excavate deeper than most, compact in lifts, and build to a spec that stays flat a decade after the crew leaves.
- Excavated to 8–12 inches depending on soil and load
- Base compacted in 3-inch lifts — the step most contractors skip
- Polymeric sand joints that lock the field and shed water
- Engineered retaining walls with proper drainage rock and geogrid
- Fire pits, seat walls, steps, pillars and integrated lighting
What is included
The details that actually matter.
Walkways & steps
Even risers, safe pitch and a surface that drains instead of icing over.
Retaining walls
Drainage rock, filter fabric and geogrid on anything over two feet. This is what stops the lean.
Fire features
Wood or gas fire pits with seat walls, built to keep a yard usable into October.

Questions
Hardscaping & Paving Stone — what people ask.
How long does a paver patio take?
A typical 300–450 sq ft patio takes four to seven working days from excavation to final sweep, weather permitting. Larger builds with walls and steps run two to three weeks.
Will it heave in winter?
Not if the base is right. Our depth and compaction spec is built for frost, and every install carries a five-year workmanship warranty against settling.
Do you handle permits and utility locates?
Yes. We book the locate before we dig and pull any permits your municipality requires for walls over a metre.
