Permeable Interlocking
Permeable interlocking pavement is something everyone should be considering when doing their driveway or patio. Just recently permeable interlocking in Toronto and GTA area was primarily used in commercial applications for plazas and parking lots to manage stormwater runoff volume, which is now becoming very popular in residential use.
Manufacturers produced fewer options most of which were not exactly jaw droppers. Now permeable interlocking is on the rise. Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI) estimates a 5% increase in volume of permeable pavers compared to what was sold last year and expected to be on the rise. Stone manufacturers such as Techo-bloc, Unilock, Best Way Stone, Oaks and many more are now offering options for residential customers that look amazing and will provide value for you and your neighbors. All these manufacturers are available in Toronto, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Mississauga, Oakville, Aurora and other areas in GTA as our interlocking stone suppliers.
If you have wet areas around your property that are bothering you or perhaps, water from the downspouts Is causing pooling, permeable interlocking pavers help reduce water runoff as well as drain and filter rain water naturally. In some cases, depending on where you live, clay-based soils make life very uncomfortable for people because the water drains through very poorly and you may have puddling in your backyard. What good is Investing in your backyard if you can’t enjoy it because of poor water drainage. Permeable pavers allow the water to drain through the joints that are filled with small sized highly permeable aggregates and down to sub grade of crushed stone.

This type of stone is very durable and requires little maintenance over the years.

Advantages of Interlocking Stone Installation
Durability & Low Maintenance
The less demanding nature of interlocking stone is one of their main selling points, but that depends on the installation and whether or not the job is professionally done.
Up-to-par installation produces a surface that is easy to clean, withstands exterior weather, foot traffic, or weight without succumbing to damage, and does not chip. You can use a hose or pressure washer for cleaning, depending on the cleaning you want and how long it takes between the washes. Our placement technique prevents weed growth or shifting, keeping the stones in perfect condition for at least 30 years. You can always replace individual pavers if they chip or stain, meaning repairs are not an issue.
Design Flexibility & Ease of Installation
You do not have to settle for an unpleasant design that you do not like when dealing with interlocking stones. You can always choose an inimitable design using the various textures, shapes, and colours available. Our esteemed team will ensure your property does not resemble any other in the neighbourhood. The options are limitless, ranging from rustic to formal.
Although installation requires an expert touch, it is a straightforward process that does not take too long to complete. You never have to worry about the curing period, like with concrete or asphalt. Our crew will ensure the installation process runs smoothly and is error-free.
Improved Drainage & Better Environment
You never have to worry about slippery surfaces if you have interlocking stones. That widens their application, making them suitable for several outdoor surfaces such as pool areas and walkways. The interlocking joints remain breathable throughout their lifespan, meaning they do not harbour excess water. At the same time, the permeability of the materials prevents excess runoff that can cause erosion. Most of the rainwater ends up in the surrounding soil and does not cause any damage.
Our interlocking stones can handle Canada’s freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or losing their aesthetic appeal. You can be sure of getting a lasting curb appeal without spending most of your time working on the surfaces.
Patio
A properly designed outdoor patio will allow you to extend your living space beyond the walls of your house.
We can add functional value to your backyard so you can cook, eat, entertain, relax and enjoy the fresh air and beauty of your landscaped garden.

What Are the Types of Interlocking Stones?
Natural Stone
Natural stone is the best interlocking stone, but its high cost tends to discourage many homeowners. Different kinds are available, but even the cheapest is more expensive than the other interlocking materials. They are not suitable for high-traffic sections – they crack under high pressure.
On the upside, natural stone never loses its appeal. It retains the vibrance of the natural colour from the installation and is never affected by outdoor weather. They do not require regular cleaning and provide unequalled aesthetics whether you choose large or small pieces.
Concrete
Interlocking concrete is the most popular but is often unappreciated. Its affordability is the main reason it is common in most properties, but it has other advantages, such as expansive life expectancy, simple installation, and style versatility. Concrete can mimic other materials, such as brick, and is available in multiple colours.
Pro tip: Never use concrete as a foundation for other materials. Any interlocking stone you choose should have a solid foundation of sand or gravel to allow contraction, expansion, and faster water absorption into the ground.
Composite Material
Composite pavers have impressive durability, are lightweight and easy to install. Cost-efficiency and longevity are other advantages, making them perfect if you are on a tight budget. They can provide the same aesthetics as stone when installed by a pro.
Composite material is advisable where children use the outdoor area frequently. It can soften the impact of falls, and the lower costs only increase their appeal. You will not spend a lot of time, energy, or money maintaining them, magnifying their advantages.
Plastic
The versatility of rubber is the first merit people notice when considering installation, but their weather resistance capacity is their biggest plus. They remain in perfect condition under heavy rain and do not support pooling water. They also work in cold and warm climates, are easy to install, do not require substantial maintenance, and are more affordable than most interlocking materials. A professional installer can craft your desirable design using various plastic options. Despite their lightweight nature, DIY installation is not advisable.
