What we build
Hardscaping that adds curb appeal and holds its value.
From a fresh driveway to lifting and relaying settled stone, we handle the whole job, base to surface, with clean lines built for Ottawa winters.
Patios
Patios & Pool Decks
Level patios and pool surrounds pitched to shed water, so the stone stays clean and even season after season.
Steps
Steps & Entrances
Front steps and landings built level and safe, with a finished edge that sets the tone for the whole house.
Walls
Retaining Walls
Segmental retaining and seat walls that hold grade, carve out usable yard, and frame beds and patios.
Lift & relay
Lift, Re-level & Relay
Settled or heaved? We lift the existing pavers, rebuild the base, and relay them, often the smartest money you can spend.
Parking
Parking Extensions
Widen an existing driveway to fit another vehicle, matched to your current stone without a full tear-out.
The standard
Forty years in one city. We build for the freeze, not the photo.

FAQ
What homeowners ask before they call.
How long does an interlock driveway take?
Most residential driveways run 2–5 days depending on size, access, and whether we're starting fresh or lifting existing stone. We give you a clear timeline at the quote.
Can you reuse my existing pavers?
Often yes. If the stone is still in good shape, our lift-and-relay service removes it, rebuilds the base, and re-lays the pavers, saving cost and keeping a consistent look.
What brands of pavers do you use?
We work with trusted suppliers including Best Way Stone, typically 70mm and 80mm thicknesses suited to driveways and patios.
Do you handle the base and grading?
Yes. A long-lasting install starts below the surface. We excavate, grade for drainage, and compact the base properly before any stone goes down.
Are you licensed in Ottawa?
Yes. Absolute Interlock.ca is listed on the Ottawa.ca hardscape contractor licence registry.
