Our Paver Patio Package uses an ICPI-certified, multi-layer base that eliminates the common issues homeowners deal with: sinking, shifting, pooling water, and uneven surfaces.
This is true engineering, not guesswork.
We install patios based on soil type, slope, drainage and load requirements — not “one-size-fits-all” depth.
This prevents movement, rutting, and frost heave.
Placed between base materials and subgrade to prevent:
This is one of the most skipped steps by landscapers — and the #1 cause of patio failure.
Installed exactly to ICPI specs, including:
This base system is engineered to last 30+ years.

We use an ICPI-certified multi-layer base, proper compaction, geotextile stabilization fabric, and engineered drainage.
This eliminates the #1 patio failure in Calgary: freeze–thaw movement.
A properly engineered patio lasts 30+ years.
Unlike concrete, pavers don’t crack — and if anything shifts slightly, individual stones can be reset easily.
No — not with our system.
We use high-quality polymeric sand, which hardens in the joints to prevent weeds, washout, and ant problems.
For Calgary climate: yes.
Concrete cracks, spalls, and heaves in freeze–thaw cycles.
Pavers flex naturally, drain properly, and can be repaired without demolition.
We customize depth based on soil type, drainage, weight load, and slope.
This can range from 8" to 16"+, installed to ICPI standards.
Most landscapers excavate half of what is required.
Only premium, architectural-grade pavers:
Techo-Bloc
Belgard
Barkman
No big-box or contractor-grade bricks.
No — and there’s a reason.
Stamped concrete fails quickly in Calgary due to freeze–thaw cycles.
Pavers last longer, repair easier, and look better.

Slope away from the house
Slope toward drainage paths
No pooling, no ice sheets

We design the base accordingly.
Most patios are completed in 2–4 days, depending on size, shape, soil conditions, and access.
