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.

Any Confusion?
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!
