About Our Interlocking Paving Services in Burnaby
As a leading paving contractor in Burnaby, Legacy Landscaping provides specialized interlocking paving services designed for longevity and aesthetic appeal. Unlike monolithic surfaces like asphalt or concrete paving that are prone to cracking, interlocking pavers create a strong, flexible surface that adapts to ground movement and the challenging freeze-thaw cycles we experience. Our expertise covers a wide range of applications, from intricate paver walkways to robust paver driveways capable of withstanding heavy vehicle loads. We focus on creating custom hardscapes that not only meet your functional needs but also integrate perfectly with your property's overall design, solving common issues like a failing asphalt driveway or cracked concrete paths with a superior, lasting solution. Our technical approach is rooted in industry best practices established by the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI). The success of any paver installation lies beneath the surface, which is why our base preparation is meticulous. We begin with a deep excavation, typically 10-12 inches for driveways, to ensure a stable foundation. We then install a high-grade geotextile fabric to separate the subgrade soil from the aggregate base, preventing sinking and weed growth. The base itself consists of specific layers of ¾" clear crush gravel and sand, each compacted to a minimum of 98% Standard Proctor Density. This process of controlled compaction is critical; it eliminates voids and creates an unyielding foundation that prevents the kind of shifting that leads to an uneven pavers fix down the line. We use precise slope grading to manage water runoff effectively, protecting your home's foundation. Working across Burnaby, from the slopes near Deer Lake to the varied terrains of Forest Hills, has given us firsthand experience with the region's specific environmental challenges. The heavy rainfall in the Lower Mainland demands paving solutions with excellent drainage. We often recommend permeable pavers as part of a sustainable drainage system, which allows rainwater to filter through the surface and back into the ground, reducing runoff and preventing pooling.
