The interlock process begins with a consultation and typically a 2D design. Once everything’s a go, we start the construction process which includes; building a strong base, screeding a perfect setting bed, laying the interlock, adding reinforcements around all edges, and finally polymeric sanding the joints.
What are the benefits of choosing interlock pavers over traditional concrete or asphalt?
Interlock has many advantages over other paving methods such as; enhanced durability, aesthetic versatility, better load distribution, super easy repairs, and no cracking risk. Interlock holds its value on your investment longer than concrete and asphalt.
How does the cost of interlock compare to other paving materials?
The cost of interlock paving varies based on the type of pavers, project size, and design complexity. While it may have a higher initial cost than concrete or asphalt, the durability and aesthetic appeal often make it a more cost-effective long-term investment.
What type of warranty is included with the installation of interlock?
Our warranty covers a 5 year workmanship for the structural integrity of the installation. We provide detailed information about the terms and coverage during the consultation process.
What steps are taken to ensure the levelness and stability of the interlock pavers over time?
We follow best industry practices for base installation, including proper compaction, quality aggregates, and even geo-textiles through-out the base if needed. The soil type will also be considered when determining the base construction. This ensures a solid foundation which is the most crucial part for interlock longevity.
How long does interlock last?
Interlock can last up to 30+ years with a strong base and minimal maintenance.
What maintenance does interlock require?
Interlock maintenance is simple. Keep it clean of leaves and debris. Maintain your polymeric joint sand. Correct uneven pavers throughout the interlock lifetime. Joint sand typically needs to be replaced every 8-12 years. The process entails blasting out all joint sand and installing new joint sand.

How long will a design take to complete?
The timeline varies based on the scope and complexity of the project. Simple designs may take a few days, while larger projects may require more time. We strive to provide realistic timelines during the initial consultation.

Absolutely. We can discuss your budget and priorities to create a design that aligns with your budget while maximizing the impact of your investment.
Do I need to be present during the design process?
While your input is valuable, it’s not always necessary for you to be present throughout the entire process. We can work with you remotely and keep you updated on the progress through regular communication.

Recently purchased this house and the driveway was in need of refurbishing and widening. We also needed a spot where the kids could park their cars on the side. The driveway was uneven and lots of puddles would form.
Alec was very attentive and came on site in order to do an accurate quote. He provided suggestions and different options. There was no pressure to accept any extras (we took one anyway).
His crew arrived as promised (not counting the snow storm that was an obvious delay) and finished the job in one day. The pictures show the driveway 2 months later. Still in great shape. The grass is starting to invade the "widening" areas, but that is not his fault. No grass has invaded the new parking area.
Price was exactly as quoted.
I highly recommend Alec and his crew to do a good job.

Until recently my back parking lot was a big muddy mess. I requested several quotes and settled on Murray Landscaping. I’m sure glad I did! They dug down with their big machines, remove debris, levelled, gravelled and compacted to perfection! The also left my driveway and back parking lot swept clean. I highly recommend their services to anyone who is looking for a worry free professional job. Six stars gentlemen!!

Alec and his crew did our interlocking patio in July 2022. We had an old rotten deck and concrete pad from an old hot tub that they removed and fully excavated.
They started and completed our project within a week, spending each full day on our project. They also came back as needed for touch ups. Alec was easy to get a hold of and went over everything with us in detail. He confirmed our choices again before putting stones down.
We would consider Murray landscaping again fo future projects.

The summer of 2022, we hired Alec Murray to do some landscaping work at our home. We had our front walkway and up and around our driveway including between the houses to the backyard done. They laid interlock, flagstone and river rock. Alec was very helpful with the design and layout of the stone as well as with the colour selection. The crew was very friendly, hardworking, and at the end of each day they cleaned up the area including the street. I would confidently recommend Alec and his team to do your next landscaping job!

Murray Landscaping remade our outdoor patio. They gave good advice in selecting the materials. They started the job within a couple of weeks of when they had estimated. They worked long hours to complete the job in the time that they had promised. The final product is lovely and we have had many compliments. We will certainly use them again should have need for further landscaping projects.

This is a quick update to the review below that we submitted in 2021. The completed work continues to impress the neighbours and passers-by and there has been no deterioration or loss of appearance to the work performed. We remain very satisfied customers of Murray Landscaping! (February 2024)
"Prompted by their excellent online reviews, we decided to hire Murray Landscaping to install a brand new interlock patio and asphalt driveway. We were highly pleased with the final results and particularly with the care, dedication and attention to detail that Murray’s team of experienced workers demonstrated. They were very patient and tolerant of our often-changing requirements throughout the construction process! We always felt very comfortable talking with the workers and they were always courteous, polite and helpful. They clearly had great pride in their work and they never cut corners in order to save on materials or to finish up early.
Thank you, Murray Landscaping, for a beautiful job executed to the highest professional and artistic standards!"
