Runsview Landscaping is Ajax's trusted interlocking contractor — building driveways, patios, walkways, and outdoor features that stand up to Durham Region's lakefront climate for decades. Own crew, proper base, no surprises.
Ajax has grown rapidly over the past two decades into one of Durham Region's most popular communities — a mix of established neighbourhoods, waterfront properties along Lake Ontario, and fast-growing subdivisions in the north end. The variety of homes here means interlocking projects range widely, from heritage-respectful work in older Pickering Village to bold contemporary designs in the newer Audley Road communities.
Runsview Landscaping has served Ajax and Durham Region since 2016. We know the conditions here — the clay-heavy soil near the lakefront that demands deeper bases and careful drainage, and the compacted fill in newer subdivisions that requires proper engineering to prevent settling. Ajax's proximity to Lake Ontario also means significant freeze-thaw cycling every winter, which makes proper base preparation non-negotiable.
Every Ajax project is handled by our own crew with our own equipment. No subcontractors, no quality inconsistency, no disappearing after the quote is signed. The team that starts your project is the team that finishes it.

From driveway replacements to backyard transformations — here's what Runsview builds for Ajax homeowners.
Full driveway installations from excavation to polymeric sand jointing. Single, double, and triple-wide driveways throughout Ajax. We replace aging asphalt and cracked concrete with durable interlocking.
Ajax's larger lot sizes in many neighbourhoods make for excellent patio opportunities — from simple installs to multi-zone entertainment areas with fire pit zones and seat walls.
Front walkway installations, porch landings, and step systems that improve curb appeal and safety. Popular in Ajax's established Pickering Village area.
Natural flagstone, limestone, and armour stone for retaining walls, edging, and feature installs. Suits waterfront-area Ajax properties beautifully.
Grade management for Ajax's sloped lots, especially near the waterfront and creek systems. Solid walls built for Durham Region's freeze-thaw cycles.
Seasonal snow removal for Ajax residential and commercial properties. Reliable service when lake-effect snow hits Durham Region.
Runsview works throughout Ajax — from the waterfront communities to the fast-growing north end. Each area has its own character and demands.
The established waterfront communities feature mature lots and homes that have been around long enough to need driveway and walkway replacements. South Ajax properties near the lake require careful drainage planning due to the clay soil, and the established trees mean we work carefully around root systems. Natural stone and classic paver patterns suit the area's character.
One of Ajax's most historic areas, Pickering Village features older homes where interlocking needs to respect the established aesthetic. Heritage-sensitive design, traditional patterns, and quality work around mature landscaping define our projects in this neighbourhood.
The fast-growing communities in northeast Ajax feature modern homes on lots built over compacted construction fill. Proper drainage engineering is the priority here, along with clean contemporary interlocking designs — large format pavers and bold borders that help homes stand out in newer subdivisions where designs can feel repetitive.
Central Ajax offers a mix of home ages and styles. Interlocking projects here range from straightforward driveway upgrades to comprehensive front-and-back transformations. The variety keeps it interesting and lets us tailor each project to the specific home rather than applying a one-size-fits-all template.
We visit your Ajax property, measure the area, assess soil and drainage, discuss design and materials, and review any Town of Ajax requirements. You receive a detailed written quote.

Proper excavation depth for Ajax's lakefront soil conditions, mechanical compaction of base layers, edge restraints, and drainage slope verification before pavers go down.
Pavers laid in pattern, wet saw cuts at edges, plate compaction, polymeric sand swept and activated, and a clean site on completion day.
Interlocking in Ajax typically ranges from $14–$28 per square foot installed. A standard driveway runs $7,500–$20,000 and a backyard patio $4,500–$15,000 depending on size, paver choice, and site conditions. We provide free, itemized written quotes for every Ajax project.
Clay soil near the Ajax waterfront retains water and expands significantly when frozen. We excavate deeper than the standard minimum, ensure proper drainage slopes, and often install geotextile fabric between the subgrade and base to prevent clay migration. These steps prevent the heaving and shifting that ruins cheaply installed interlocking within a few years.
Spring through fall — April to November. Spring books fastest, so contacting us over winter for a spring project secures your preferred dates. Fall installs are fine as long as ground temperatures stay above freezing.
