Interlocking Walkways

Shabatin Interlock is an expert installer of interlocking walkways, as almost every project requires it. Below are some of the considerations when choosing the type of walkway and the pros of having a paver walkway interlocking in the GTA.

Paver Interlock Walkway Advantages

Generally, homeowners have various options available for walkways: gravel, concrete, slabs, pavers etc. If it’s a tough decision, let’s look at a few ways that a paver interlocking walkway has an advantage:

Look: Unique designs, symmetrical pavers, choice of colour and size
Durability: A properly installed paver pathway should last well over 20 years and should not crack, unlike concrete slabs or concrete walkways often do.
Convenient: It’s far more pleasant to walk on a flat & perfect surface made from pavers rather than slabs, stepping stones, gravel, dirt etc.
Maintenance: Easy to clean snow, that’s pretty much it.
Cost effective: Although the original installation cost might be slightly higher, over the course of time the low maintenance actually makes it cost-effective. For example, concrete cracking requires crack filler if it’s a small crack. However, if it’s a big crack, then a cut out of the concrete is required followed by a re-pour. That takes time, labour, and machinery and is ultimately expensive. On the other hand, although very rare, if a paver cracks… Just lift it and replace it. No problem. 5 minutes, 1 person’s job.
Refresh: After some years under the sun, some of the colours from the paver driveway can fade. In this case, the interlocking pavers are sealed, and it gives them a whole new shine and protection.

Interlocking Pathway Process

To really reap all the above benefits, professional interlocking pathway services are required and it is important to notice many details during that process:

Proper excavation and constant compaction. (visit this page for an explanation)
Water should be gently sloped away from the house to prevent water from sitting against the house and potentially leaking into your basement.
A high-quality paver and proper design should be chosen.
Polymeric sand should be installed in two applications, and compaction to prevent gaps between the pavers. Those gaps can yield space for weeds to grow, and even more importantly, it gives space for water to penetrate and freeze in the winter, thereby expanding and shifting your interlocking paver pathway.

We work with all types of pavers from all manufacturers so you are not limited to one design, this way we can make your idea of interlocking come to life. Colours, borders, accents, sizes and designs- we’ll do all the backend work to make sure it’s stable, durable and beautiful. The interlock paver designers from Shabatin Interlock will take their time to go over every detail, and together with you we can reach a decision that checks all your needs.

Couldn't be happier with the work that Shabatin Interlock did on my backyard! From start to finish, they were professional, detail-oriented, and committed to making my vision a reality.

They also gave me great recommendations for the designs and materials which made the end result even better than i imagined. I would highly recommend Shabatin to anyone looking for top-notch landscaping and interlocking services.

I recently had Shabatin Interlocking redo my driveway and front patio and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results! From the first phone call to the final walk-through, Costa was nothing short of amazing.The consultation process was surprisingly pleasant. Costa really took the time to understand what I wanted and even provided some fantastic design ideas that I hadn't considered. His dedication and passion were evident from the get-go.Day one rolled around and the crew was punctual, friendly, and incredibly hardworking. One thing that really stood out was how clean they kept the work area. It made the whole process a lot less disruptive for my family.The end result is simply stunning. My new driveway and patio have completely transformed the look of my home. The quality of the work was top-notch, am so impressed and so happy i gave them my trust. Thank you Costa for being exactly who you said you were and delivering fantastic results.

Costa and his team at Shabatin Interlock just finished a wonderful and top-tier construction of our front porch, steps, flower bed, and front walkway leading to our driveway, and my wife and I are absolutely thrilled with the results!Our old set of front steps were from the original builder's grade hollow concrete, and along with the cracked slabs leading to our driveway, were ugly, warped in terms of grading, and actually wildlife were starting to find their way under and within the steps.Costa was quick with initial contact, actually came over the same day as my initial call, and gave a quote on the spot. He spotted several design elements that he felt would fit our landscaping, and answered all my questions with patience and the confidence of an experienced craftsman. He was transparent about his preferred brands of concrete pavers and architectural steps, and although I could tell he was using top quality materials, his quoted price was very competitive, which made the value proposition unbeatable. He was also clear about his process of excavation, grading, and using the proper depth and materials for a long-lasting base beneath the walkway.He was clear with his sense of timing, and never promised anything he didn't think he could promise, in other words, I felt he was clear in his estimates, but constantly delivered above and beyond, which is why we were delighted by the experience. For example, I happened to ask if he could bury my DIY irrigation pipe after they had already begun, and without missing a beat, he came up with a solution and did not charge anything extra, even though I'm sure it took extra time and effort for his team. At the last minute I asked if he could use flagstone capping for the threshold, and he was able to make it happen with great results.His team were cheerful, showed up early and worked into the evening, and they were done in two days flat (he estimated 2-3 days in his original quote).Throughout the weeks before the project began, Costa was prompt in responding by text message or phone, and always eager to answer my questions. During the construction, he was careful to consult me on big questions, but didn't bother me with minutiae. His team cleaned up immaculately at the end, and even tidied up some elements in my backyard (thanks guys!)As an artist myself, I appreciate and admire the pride that goes into the work that Shabatin Interlock creates. These are craftsmen and artisans that are a joy to work with. My family and I will enjoy the walkway and front entrance for many years to come - thank you for everything Costa!

Paver Walkway Installation FAQs

1. Can you install outdoor lighting in your paver walkway?

Absolutely! That's a great way to illuminate the walkway in the darker hours and add a beautiful design element!

2. What's the advantage of a paver walkway?

Although a bit cheaper, concrete walkways crack at some point after their installation, and therefore are secondary to paver walkways. With the right paver installation services, a new paver walkway can last for many years and can have a beautiful and esthetic look! That makes it a better investment long-term!

3. Will I need to maintain my paver walkway after installation?

The maintenance of a paver walkway is extremely minimal, if any, after properly installing an interlocking pathway. Proper installation includes good compaction and the application of two layers of polymeric sand.

4. Do you build natural stone walkways?

Absolutely! Shabatin Interlock is not only an expert at paver walkway installation but also at natural stone walkways. It’s a great idea to mix some natural elements into our modern designs in the GTA!
