Interlocking & Hardscaping
Driveways, patios, walkways, retaining walls, stonework, and landscape construction.
Overview
Built with intent
Outdoor spaces deserve the same precision as the home they surround. OTO Construction builds interlocking driveways, patios, walkways, retaining walls and stonework designed for daily use and Ontario's freeze-thaw cycles.
Durable hardscaping starts below the surface. We place particular emphasis on excavation depth, base preparation, compaction and drainage.
Capabilities
What we do
Interlocking Driveways
Paver driveways built on properly excavated and compacted bases.
Patios & Terraces
Outdoor living areas in pavers, natural stone or slab.
Walkways & Steps
Front entries, garden paths and stone or block steps.
Retaining Walls
Segmental and natural stone walls with appropriate drainage and base.
Natural Stonework
Flagstone, armour stone and stone accents.
Landscape Construction
Grading, edging, planting beds and integration with landscape lighting.
Benefits & Considerations
Plan it right
- Freeze-Thaw
- Base depth, compaction and drainage matter more than the paver itself in Ontario winters.
- Drainage
- Surfaces are graded to move water away from the home and toward appropriate outlets.
- Municipal Rules
- Driveway widening and retaining walls above certain heights may have municipal requirements.
- Season
- Most hardscaping is built between spring and late fall when ground conditions allow.
