Interlock Driveway overview
Just like interlocking stone can be used for walkways, patios, and steps, interlocking pavers are an excellent option to enhance a home’s driveway. With its distinctive design, interlocking stones have a special “locking” mechanism that enhances the strength and durability of the paver driveway and minimizes weed growth. Plus, interlocking stones come in a wide array of shapes, colors, and textures and can be tailored to any driveway size or layout.
All in all, driveway interlocking for Toronto homes offers unparalleled durability, exceptional stability, and minimal maintenance and upkeep.
At Landscape Toronto, we also offer permeable interlocking solutions, – interlocking stones designed with unique spacer bars that leave a wider gap between the stones. This wider gap allows rainwater to seep through the pavement and absorb naturally into the ground below.
Once upon a time, such permeable interlocking was used primarily for commercial applications like plazas and parking lots to manage the volume of stormwater runoff. However, permeable interlocking pavement is becoming increasingly popular as the driveway material of choice among Toronto homeowners. At Landscape Toronto, we can install either traditional interlocking or permeable interlocking driveway pavers, – give us a call now to discuss your options.
Making the right choice
Natural stone is rightfully considered to be the best driveway interlocking stone, albeit it isn’t cheap. Indeed, this material looks stunning and never loses its appeal, maintaining the vibrance of the natural colour throughout its entire lifespan. Big or small, natural interlocking stones look absolutely stunning with minimal maintenance and can serve for many years to come. However, natural stone interlocking driveways in Toronto can get expensive, - that’s why, natural pavers are usually not the best option for high-traffic sections.
The most popular material for interlock driveways in Toronto and the GTA is concrete. Most homeowners opt for concrete pavers due to their affordable prices, but concrete has many other benefits to offer. Ease of installation, durability, and versatility are only some of the reasons to opt for concrete. Plus, concrete pavers come in a variety of colors and can easily imitate other materials like brick.
Composite pavers are incredibly lightweight, durable, and easy to install. When installed by professionals, composite interlocking pavers can look just like natural stone ones, albeit much softer to the touch. Composite material can soften the impact of falls, which makes it ideal for areas often used by children. Moreover, composite driveways are relatively affordable and you won’t need to spend a lot of additional money, time, and energy on their maintenance.
Plastic, or rubber, interlocking stones are incredibly versatile, - but it isn’t their only benefit. Able to withstand virtually any weather conditions, rubber interlocking driveway pavers remain in perfect condition even under heavy rain and do not absorb any water. They are also suitable for warm and cold climates, do not require extensive maintenance, and are much cheaper than some other interlocking materials.
Upgrade your driveway
Possibly the most attractive feature of interlock driveways in Toronto and GTA is their incredible strength and durability. A professionally installed interlocking driveway will be able to withstand foot traffic, weather, environmental elements, and, of course, the weight of a car without succumbing to damage.
An interlocking paver surface is very easy to clean: you can wash it with a pressure washer or even a regular hose. Because of the interlocking mechanism, individual pavers won’t shift, and weeds will be kept at bay at all times. You can expect your interlocking stones to remain in perfect condition for at least 30 years. And, should a paver start to stain or chip, it can always be replaced without re-doing the entire driveway.
The process of how to install interlocking pavers is relatively simple and quick. Unlike concrete or asphalt driveways, interlock driveways in Toronto do not require any curing and can be used right away. Nonetheless, the driveway installation process should be left to experts to ensure the quality of materials and workmanship.
Another key feature of driveway interlocking stones is their safety and durability. Because the permeability of materials allows excess rainwater to absorb into the ground underneath, you won’t have to worry about water accumulation or paver erosion. An interlocking driveway will never get slippery and will easily withstand numerous freeze-and-thaw cycles associated with Canadian winters.
Interlock driveway design possibilities are virtually endless! Interlocking pavers come in a variety of shapes, textures, and colors, and they can be mixed to create unique combinations.

Step by step
1
For a successful interlocking driveway project, we need to ensure that there is enough room to fill 13’’ of gravel, plus space for the width of the stones. If there is an insufficient gravel base to begin with, we will need to perform excavation.
2
Next, we will install geotextile - a special textile that will act as a filter to separate base materials (soil, clay, and sand) from the new gravel base. This will help to prevent the gravel from mixing with the base material and sinking over time.
3
Once geotextile is installed, we can install gravel. It is important to add at least 500 lbs of weight on top to compact the base completely.
4
Next, we will level the ground with a special bedding material. High-Performance Bedding (HPB) is the best material for this purpose: fully permeable, it does not hold moisture and reduces the chance of expansion in the winter.
5
Finally, we will put interlocking stones in place and fill the gaps with polymeric sand. Once applied, the sand will be compacted, so that it can settle properly within the gaps. This sand will act as a glue, holding stones together and eliminating the potential for shifting.
Are you tired of constantly slipping on ice and starting your day with a snow shovel during snowy Ontario winters? Driveway heating is an excellent option to address snow and ice build-up, – and it is compatible with interlocking driveways as well.
At Landscape Toronto, we offer two main systems for heating your driveway:
Electric system. The electric heating system requires less space to install and has lower installation costs. With this option, thin, efficient electrical cables will be installed under your driveway, out of sight and out of the way. However, this system will require a little longer to heat up.
Rigid hydraulic system. A rigid hydraulic system presents a closed system of tubes with water, all connected to a boiler. This boiler is typically placed in the garage or basement. While it does take up extra space, the rigid hydraulic takes less time to heat up and has lower running costs.
To further enhance the look of your Toronto interlocking driveway, we can incorporate lights, right within the interlock pavers. Not only will it immediately uplift your home’s design, but it will also illuminate the path when parking at night, making parking safer and easier.
Enhanced safety. Driveway lights can provide better visibility at night, making parking easier, reducing the risk of accidents, and improving security around your home.
Aesthetic appeal. Modern driveway lights will add a stylish flair to your home’s exterior, which will immediately boost the curb appeal of your property.
Energy efficiency. Most modern interlocking driveway lights are designed with LED technology. This allows the lights to serve for many years to come, with minimal energy consumption.
Can your driveway only fit one of your cars? In that case, you may want to consider installing an interlocking driveway extension to instantly increase the space and create much-needed parking spots for guests visiting your house. Plus, with an interlocking driveway extension, you will no longer need to park on the side of the road, protecting your car from unwanted accidents.
Increased parking space. Adding an interlocking extension will immediately expand your driveway area, allowing it to accommodate more guests or vehicles.
Improved functionality. Driveway extensions can also provide a smoother transition between different areas of your property, thus minimizing wear and tear on the parking surface and reducing the likelihood of damage to your vehicle.
Increased aesthetic appeal. Adding an interlocking extension to your driveway can instantly increase your home’s aesthetics, thus boosting its value and potential resale price.
If you want to take your driveway design one step further, you could add a border to your interlocking driveway. Adding a border offers an array of benefits, including:
Aesthetics. Without a doubt, adding a border to an interlocking driveway can make your driveway pop and instantly boost your home’s curb appeal. If you are planning on selling your house, such a border can be an excellent way to increase the home’s value.
Protection. A border can help to protect your driveway from things like lawnmowers, snow plows, and even pets. As such, you can extend its lifespan and ensure that it looks its best for as long as possible.
Easy maintenance. Driveway borders can also make maintaining the interlocking pavers much easier. By enclosing the edges of the driveway, you can stop soil erosion and prevent weed growth, which means less maintenance work in the long run.
