What We Do
Hardscaping that adds curb appeal and value.
From new installs to restoring settled stone, we handle driveways, patios, steps, walls and parking extensions with clean lines and a solid base.
Patios & Pool Decks
Level patios and pool surrounds that drain properly and stay clean-looking season after season.
Steps & Entrances
Front steps and entrance landings built for safety, drainage, and a crisp first impression.
Retaining Walls
Segmental retaining walls that hold grade, define beds, and create usable yard space.
Lift, Re-level & Relay
We lift settled pavers, fix the base, and relay them — saving money and keeping a matching look.
Parking Extensions
Extend your existing interlock to create extra parking without a full tear-out.

FAQ
Common questions.
How long does an interlock driveway take?
Most residential driveways take 2–5 days depending on size, access, and whether we’re starting fresh or lifting existing stone. We’ll give you a clear timeline during 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, repairs 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 in 70 mm and 80 mm paver 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 material 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.
