Pickering's Interlocking Experts

INTERLOCKING BUILT
FOR PICKERING'S
PROPERTIES

Pickering is one of Durham Region's fastest-growing communities — and the homes here reflect it. From the mature properties in Bay Ridges and Rosebank to the newer subdivisions in Duffin Heights, homeowners in Pickering are investing seriously in their outdoor spaces.

Runsview Landscaping has been working in Pickering and across Durham Region since 2016. We understand the soil conditions here — the clay-heavy ground near the waterfront that requires deeper bases, the drainage challenges in newer developments built on compacted construction fill, and the aesthetic preferences of a community that sits between Toronto's urban density and Durham's more suburban character.

We bring our own crew and our own equipment to every Pickering job. That means no subcontractors showing up who have never worked with us before, no quality inconsistencies between the job supervisor and the workers on the ground, and no situations where the person who quoted you is never seen again after you sign.

What We Install in Pickering

INTERLOCKING SERVICES
IN PICKERING

From driveway replacements to complete backyard transformations — here's what Runsview builds for Pickering homeowners.

🚗

Interlocking Driveways

Full driveway installations from excavation to final polymeric sand jointing. We work with all major paver brands and handle permit inquiries for any projects affecting the municipal right-of-way in Pickering. Single, double, and triple-wide driveways.

🌿

Backyard Patios

Pickering's waterfront proximity and larger lot sizes in many neighbourhoods make for excellent backyard patio opportunities. We design and build patios that take full advantage of outdoor living — from simple single-level installations to multi-zone entertainment areas.

🚶

Walkways & Entrances

Front walkway installations, porch landings, and step systems that improve curb appeal and safety. Popular in Pickering's older Bay Ridges neighbourhood where original concrete walkways are showing their age.

🪨

Nature Stone & Armour Stone

Natural flagstone, limestone, and armour stone for retaining walls, garden edging, and feature installations. A great option for Pickering properties near the waterfront where a natural aesthetic fits the surroundings.

🧱

Retaining Walls

Grade management is a real issue in many Pickering properties, especially near the ravine systems and sloped terrain west of Brock Road. We build solid retaining walls that hold their shape through Durham Region's freeze-thaw cycles.

❄️

Snow Removal

Seasonal snow removal contracts for Pickering residential and commercial properties. Plowing, salting, and walkway clearing. Reliable service when Durham Region gets hit with lake-effect snow off Lake Ontario.

Neighbourhoods We Serve

ACROSS ALL OF
PICKERING

Runsview works throughout Pickering — from the established waterfront communities to the newer subdivisions north of Highway 7. Each area has its own character and its own challenges for interlocking contractors.

Bay Ridges & Waterfront

Pickering's original residential area along the waterfront features mature lots, older homes, and interlocking projects that often involve replacing 20-year-old driveways and walkways. Bay Ridges properties frequently have larger lot depths, giving us room to design meaningful backyard patio spaces as well as front driveway upgrades. The area's clay soil near the lake requires careful drainage planning.

Liverpool & Dunbarton

The established residential areas around Liverpool Road feature a mix of home sizes and lot configurations. Interlocking here tends toward a clean, classic aesthetic — neutral pavers, defined borders, and walkways that complement well-maintained gardens. Many Liverpool homeowners are upgrading from asphalt driveways that are reaching end of life.

Duffin Heights

One of Pickering's newer communities, Duffin Heights features larger homes on lots that lend themselves well to premium interlocking treatments. Homeowners in Duffin Heights typically want their exterior to match the quality of their home's construction — which means choosing premium pavers, detailed borders, and comprehensive front entrance treatments including steps, lighting, and garden edging.

Rosebank & Woodlands

These established Pickering communities feature larger lots and mature landscaping. Interlocking projects here often involve working carefully around existing trees and gardens, and the larger properties allow for comprehensive outdoor living installations — driveways, patios, walkways, and feature walls all as part of a single coordinated project.

How It Works

OUR PICKERING
PROJECT PROCESS

01

Free On-Site Consultation

We visit your Pickering property, measure the project area, assess soil and drainage conditions, discuss design options, and review any applicable Durham Region or City of Pickering requirements for your project. You receive a written, itemized quote — not a verbal estimate.

02

Material Selection

We bring samples from Unilock, Techo-Bloc, and Best Way Stone so you can compare colours and textures against your home before ordering. We advise on what works best for your specific neighbourhood and the scale of your project.

03

Excavation & Base Prep

Proper excavation depth for Pickering's soil conditions, mechanical compaction of Granular B and Granular A layers, edge restraint installation, and drainage slope verification before a single paver goes down. This is the step that determines whether your interlocking lasts 5 years or 30.

04

Installation & Finishing

Pavers laid in pattern on screeded bedding sand. Wet saw cuts at all edges and borders. Plate compaction across the finished surface. Polymeric sand swept and activated. Property left clean on completion day.

Common Questions

INTERLOCKING PICKERING
FAQ

How much does interlocking cost in Pickering?+

Interlocking in Pickering 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 any grading or drainage work required. We provide free detailed written quotes for every Pickering project — no vague ballpark numbers.

How do you handle Pickering's clay soil when installing interlocking?+

Clay soil in Pickering — particularly near the waterfront — retains water and expands significantly when frozen. We address this by excavating deeper than the standard minimum, ensuring proper drainage slopes, and sometimes installing geotextile fabric between the subgrade and granular base to prevent clay migration upward into the base material. These steps are the difference between interlocking that stays flat for 25 years and interlocking that heaves in 3.

What's the best time of year to get interlocking done in Pickering?+

Spring through fall — typically April through November in Pickering. Spring is the busiest booking period, so reaching out in winter for a spring project gives you the best chance at your preferred dates. Fall installations are perfectly fine — interlocking can be installed as long as ground temperatures are above freezing.

Do you serve Ajax and Whitby as well as Pickering?+

Yes — Runsview serves all of Durham Region including Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, and Clarington, as well as York Region communities like Markham and Newmarket. Pickering is a key part of our Durham Region coverage area.

Can you add a patio and walkway to a driveway project in Pickering?+

Absolutely — and doing it all at once is more efficient and cost-effective than separate projects. When we mobilize equipment and crew for a Pickering job, adding connected work like a front walkway or side gate path adds less cost than a separate mobilization later. We scope and price combined projects clearly so you can decide what makes sense.
