Interlocking front walkway and stone steps leading to a navy door on a brick family home.
01Interlocking

Pavers, stone steps

A clear path to the door

Interlocking paving and broad stone steps shape the front entrance.

The darker border keeps the walk crisp against the lawn, and planting softens both sides of it.

Cedar, black metal

From the deck to the lawn

Broad cedar steps and a slim black railing connect the deck to the yard.

The steps span the width of the seating area above them, and a flagstone landing meets them at the lawn.

Cedar, pale stone

A connected backyard

Cedar decking steps down to a stone patio and a garden beyond.

The back door, the table and the garden work as one space, and a slim black railing keeps the view from the deck open.

Stone beneath the table

A pale stone patio with a charcoal border and a green garden edge.

The slabs run from the back steps to the dining table, and planted beds soften the line where the patio meets the garden.

Cedar, stone terrace

An open frame for the garden

A cedar pergola frames a sitting area, with a slatted screen for privacy.

Open rafters let the light through, and the screen shelters the back of the terrace, so the seating stays part of the garden.

Cedar, shingles

Room under the roof

A cedar pavilion makes space for dining outside, under a timber roof.

The shingled gable rests on heavy timber posts, set on stone paving among the planting.

Interlocking driveways in East Gwillimbury

On a new street, timing comes first. In a subdivision the Town has not yet assumed, it recommends checking that the lot grading is certified and reviewing the purchase agreement and Town by-laws before landscape work, so we ask for the grading certificate before a driveway is dug. Width comes next, since the curb belongs to the municipality. For the surface, herringbone locks together most tightly, which suits a driveway, and a contrasting border gives a clean edge against the lawn.

The base drives the price. A driveway is dug deeper and filled with more compacted stone than a walkway because it carries cars, and removing old asphalt or concrete adds a step. Then come area, stone, pattern, borders, steps and the grading that sends rain away from the house. Layout, levels and budget are settled with you before the old surface comes up.

Seat walls and retaining walls: where a permit comes in

A retaining wall needs no building permit in East Gwillimbury until its exposed face is taller than 1 m (39 in); past that, it is drawn and reviewed like other permit work. The Site Alteration By-law runs separately, wanting an application for a new patio, a longer driveway or walkway, or a retaining wall, so most interlock jobs here start with that form. On septic, the walkway route matters as well, because East Gwillimbury's permit exemption for patio stone and concrete walkways only applies away from a septic system.
