Quick answer: Seven Stones Landscape installs interlock driveways across Oakville — Old Oakville, Eastlake, Glen Abbey and nearby — for $28,000 to $48,000 installed for a standard 2-car drive (premium estate driveways $65,000 to $135,000), built on a compacted, drainage-first base. ICPI-certified, $5M insured, 5-year workmanship warranty.

Why Oakville Homeowners Hire Us

Oakville driveways tend to run larger than the regional average. Many Eastlake and Old Oakville properties have circular drives, double-wide lay-bys, or matched aprons that connect to street paving. That kind of work is not a copy-paste install. The base depth, edge restraint, and drainage cross-slope all need to be designed for the actual lot before any pavers go down.

Heritage districts in Old Oakville have specific street-facing material expectations. Properties along Lakeshore Road and the older streets near the lake often need pavers that match an existing palette or read as period-appropriate from the curb. We work with Unilock Courtstone, Techo-Bloc Aberdeen, and natural cobble for those projects.

Many Oakville driveways pair well with new concrete steps, front-yard landscaping, and flagstone walkways. If the front yard is being planned as one project rather than several, we can scope it that way from the first quote.

Local Considerations & Credentials

  • Credentials: ICPI certified, Landscape Ontario member, authorized Unilock and Techo-Bloc installer, $5M liability, full WSIB. Est. 2013. 5-year workmanship warranty.
  • Site Conditions: Most Oakville lots sit on Halton Till clay. South-Oakville and Eastlake near the lake have sandier soil. Newer subdivisions in North Oakville (Joshua Creek, Iroquois Ridge) have heavily-compacted clay subgrades from construction that need aeration before base install.
  • Performance Detail: Standard Oakville driveway base is 8 inches of compacted 3/4-clear limestone. Estate driveways with frequent heavy vehicle traffic (trades, deliveries) get 10 to 12 inches. Polymeric sand and aluminum or concrete edge restraint on all exposed edges, every project.
  • Local Tip: Oakville requires a Right-of-Way permit any time the curb cut, boulevard, or apron is altered. Standard residential driveway widening permit takes 10 to 20 business days through Oakville Public Works. We pull the permit as part of the project.

Why Oakville Homeowners Choose Seven Stones for Interlock Driveways

Choosing an interlock driveway contractor in Oakville comes down to whether the crew actually understands the local lot. Most properties here sit on Halton Till clay, and the newer North Oakville subdivisions around Joshua Creek and Iroquois Ridge have compacted construction subgrades that crack a poorly-built drive within a few winters. Our installs are engineered for that: an aerated subgrade, a deep compacted clear-stone base, and a drainage cross-slope that moves freeze-thaw meltwater off the surface. As an ICPI-certified paver driveway company that has worked the heritage streets of Old Oakville and the estate drives of Eastlake since 2013, we match the build to the street.

As an authorized Unilock and Techo-Bloc installer, we are $5M insured, carry a 5-year workmanship warranty, and put every detail in a fixed written quote before anyone breaks ground. Book a free on-site Oakville consultation, call (289) 700-0312, or request a quote online and we will walk your lot and price it properly.

Oakville Interlock Driveways FAQ

A 2-car Oakville interlock driveway (400 to 600 sq ft) with standard Unilock or Techo-Bloc pavers, 8-inch compacted base, polymeric sand and edge restraint runs $28,000 to $48,000. Eastlake and Old Oakville premium driveways using Borealis, Artline, or natural cobble with decorative banding commonly run $65,000 to $135,000. Circular drives and estate aprons are quoted separately.
A Right-of-Way permit is required from Oakville Public Works whenever the curb cut, boulevard, or apron is changed: widening, replacing the apron, or changing the approach angle. The paver surface inside your property line does not need a building permit. Old Oakville heritage homes have additional review for street-facing materials.
For most Oakville driveways: Unilock Beacon Hill, Series 3000, or Techo-Bloc Squadra and Blu 80 are reliable, well-stocked, and repairable. For heritage-character streets: Unilock Courtstone or Techo-Bloc Aberdeen blend with the older streetscape. For estate driveways: Unilock Artline, Techo-Bloc Borealis, or natural cobble give the highest curb-appeal lift and the best resale return.
A standard 500 sq ft Oakville driveway takes 5 to 9 working days: 2 days excavation and disposal, 1 day base install and compaction, 2 to 4 days paving, 1 day polymeric sand and edge restraint. Estate driveways with circular drives, banding, or matched aprons run 2 to 4 weeks. Old Oakville tight-access lots add a few days for material staging.
All of Oakville: Old Oakville and Lakeshore West heritage streets; Eastlake and the lakefront estate area; Bronte and the southwest; central Oakville (Trafalgar, Falgarwood); Glen Abbey, College Park, and the Glen Abbey corridor; Joshua Creek and Iroquois Ridge in north Oakville; Palermo and Kerr Village.
Yes. We have installed driveways on Lakeshore Road, Reynolds Street, and several streets in the heritage core. Heritage-area driveways usually require Old Oakville Heritage District review for materials visible from the street. We submit the material samples and elevation drawings as part of the permit package, and use Courtstone, Aberdeen, or matched natural cobble where required.
Every Oakville driveway carries our 5-year workmanship warranty covering base settlement, edge-restraint failure, and significant lippage from installation faults. The pavers themselves carry the Unilock or Techo-Bloc manufacturer warranty, which is often lifetime on structural integrity. Normal wear, road-salt etching, and frost heave from a homeowner-altered grade are excluded. We are $5M insured and fully WSIB covered.
Plan on topping up polymeric sand in the joints every 2 to 4 years and sealing every 3 to 5 years, sooner on a south-facing Eastlake drive that gets full sun. Rinse off road salt in late winter, pull any joint weeds early, and re-level any pavers that settle. We offer a paid maintenance visit, and joint and seal work is far cheaper than a full rebuild.
Yes, when built correctly it handles Oakville winters better than poured concrete. The open joints flex with freeze-thaw instead of cracking, and an 8-inch compacted clear-stone base drains meltwater away from the Halton Till clay below. Unilock and Techo-Bloc driveway pavers are rated for de-icing salt. We still recommend rinsing salt off in spring to protect the surface texture and colour.
A properly built Oakville interlock driveway lasts 30 to 40 years or more, well beyond poured concrete, which usually cracks within 15 to 25 years on local clay. Lifespan depends almost entirely on the base: our 8-inch compacted clear-stone base on aerated Halton Till subgrade is what prevents the settlement that ages a driveway. Individual pavers can be lifted and reset if ever needed.
Three things drive the final number: square footage, paver line, and base depth. A circular Eastlake drive moves more material than a straight Glen Abbey one. Premium lines like Borealis or Artline and natural cobble cost more than Beacon Hill or Squadra. Heavy-traffic estate drives need a 10 to 12-inch base. Tight Old Oakville access, old-surface disposal, and Right-of-Way apron work also add cost.
Yes. Full excavation, removal, and legal disposal of your old asphalt, concrete, or failed interlock is included in our quoted price. We haul the spoil and old surface off-site to a licensed Halton-area facility, so nothing is left on your boulevard. On tight Old Oakville lots we stage bins carefully to keep the street clear and stay within the Right-of-Way permit terms.
Most Oakville driveway projects use a deposit to book and order material, a progress payment once the base is in and compacted, and the balance on completion once you have walked the finished drive. Larger Eastlake estate driveways are staged across more milestones. Exact amounts are set out in your written contract before any work starts, with no charges beyond the signed quote.
