Q: Which materials do you install for walkways?

We are authorized Unilock and Techo-Bloc installers and regularly build walkways with Unilock Artline, Unilock Beacon Hill Flagstone, Techo-Bloc Borealis, and Techo-Bloc Blu 60. For natural stone we use Wiarton flagstone (Ontario-quarried), Indiana limestone, and large-format granite steppers.

What width should a front walkway be in Ontario?

For a primary front walkway in Ontario homes, we recommend a minimum 4 feet wide so two adults can walk side by side, which also aligns with OBC accessibility norms. Secondary side paths can be 30 to 36 inches. Wider walkways (5 to 6 feet) feel more welcoming on larger Oakville or Ancaster lots and are easier to snow-blow in winter.

What base depth do you use for walkways in Hamilton clay soil?

In Hamilton, Dundas, Ancaster, and Stoney Creek where clay subgrade is common, we excavate 10 to 12 inches and install compacted 3/4-clear crushed stone in 2-inch lifts over geotextile fabric. Clay holds water, so the geotextile prevents the base from migrating into the clay over freeze-thaw cycles and keeps the walkway level for decades.

Which materials do you install for walkways?

As authorized Unilock and Techo-Bloc installers we regularly build walkways with Unilock Artline, Unilock Beacon Hill Flagstone, Techo-Bloc Borealis, and Techo-Bloc Blu 60. For natural stone we use Wiarton flagstone (Ontario-quarried), Indiana limestone, and large-format granite steppers.

Do I need a permit for a front walkway in Burlington or Oakville?

Private residential walkways on your own lot generally do not require a permit in Burlington, Oakville, or Hamilton. However, if the walkway extends into the city road allowance, crosses a boulevard, or involves grading changes over 0.3 metres, a municipal permit is usually required. We handle the paperwork when needed.

How long does a walkway installation take?

A standard 40 to 80 linear foot interlock walkway takes 3 to 5 working days: one day for excavation and base prep, one to two days for base compaction and laying pavers, and a final day for polymeric sand and cleanup. Flagstone walkways take slightly longer due to custom cutting. We carry $5M commercial general liability and full WSIB coverage, and every walkway is backed by our 5-year workmanship warranty.
