No, sand alone isn’t a proper base for pavers. A stable build needs compacted granular stone, then bedding sand, so the surface can drain and hold shape through freeze-thaw cycles. If you’re unsure about an existing base, we can inspect it during a free consultation and tell you whether it needs a rebuild or just a releveling.
A well-built interlock driveway usually lasts 20 to 30 years or more in the GTA. Lifespan depends on the base prep, drainage, traffic load, and winter movement, which is why proper excavation and compaction matter so much. If yours is sinking or spreading, that’s usually a base issue, and GTA Grizzly backs the installation with a 5-year written workmanship warranty.
A 20×20 brick patio usually lands in the low-to-mid five figures once you include excavation, base work, materials, and labour. For an interlocking patio agincourt project, the final price changes most with access, grading, edging, and whether you need steps or retaining features. GTA Grizzly gives free estimates and locked-price proposals, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
A DIY 20×20 paver patio can look cheaper on paper, but the true cost often rises once you buy base stone, geotextile, edge restraint, plate compactor rental, and pavers. The bigger risk is a weak base, because that’s what leads to settling and drainage problems later. If you want, we can price the same scope professionally and show you the difference in a free consultation.
In Ontario, interlocking cost per square foot varies widely based on materials, excavation depth, grading, and site access, so there isn’t one honest universal rate. For interlock scarborough work, the quote should spell out base prep, edging, labour, and any drainage or permit needs before anything starts. GTA Grizzly uses locked-price proposals and can usually turn around detailed pricing within 24 hours for projects under $30K.
A 20×20 concrete patio typically costs less upfront than a comparable stone patio, but the finish, reinforcement, and site conditions can move the price a lot. If the area needs grading, drainage correction, or a tougher edge detail, that adds to the total. The best next step is a free estimate, because a written scope will show where the money is actually going.
Concrete is usually cheaper to install at first, while pavers often cost more but give you easier repairs and a more flexible finish over time. The real answer depends on the site, because grading, access, and finish level can narrow the gap fast. If you’re weighing both options, GTA Grizzly can quote each one in the same proposal so you can compare honestly.
Interlocking bricks can shift, settle, or grow weeds in the joints if the base, edging, or drainage isn’t done well. They also need occasional maintenance, like re-sanding or lifting and resetting a few units after harsh winters. That’s why a proper install matters more than the material alone, and why GTA Grizzly includes a 5-year written workmanship warranty.
Under interlocking, you typically want compacted granular stone, a leveled bedding layer of concrete sand, and solid edge restraint. The base depth changes with use, like a walkway versus a driveway, and poor compaction is what causes most future problems. If you want a build that lasts, we can assess the site and include the right base structure in a locked-price proposal.
You should avoid polymeric sand when the joints are too narrow or too deep, the surface isn’t fully dry, or drainage is still a problem. If water is trapping under the pavers, fixing the base matters more than filling joints first. For repairs or new work, we can tell you whether polymeric sand is appropriate during a site visit.
Concrete is usually cheaper upfront, while interlock often costs more because of the base work, labour, and materials involved. Over time, interlock can be easier to repair in sections, which matters on busy patios and driveways. If you’re comparing options for a new hardscape in Scarborough, we can quote both so you can choose with clear numbers.
Yes, Dawn soap can help lift light grease and everyday dirt from pavers. Use a mild mix, a soft brush, and a good rinse, because harsh scrubbing or strong cleaners can discolor some finishes. If stains have set into the surface, a professional cleaning or re-sanding may be the better fix.
