Interlock Paving Stones - Driveways, Walkways & Patios
Interlocking pavers offer unrivaled flexibility in their ability to redefine an area through the use of colour, texture and pattern. With a life expectancy much longer than poured concrete or asphalt, interlock pavers are as durable as they are elegant.
The variety of interlock pavers available on Vancouver Island has dramatically increased over the last several years providing you with a multitude of design options. Whether a new driveway, walkway, patio or wall allow us to show you how interlocking stone products can be utilized to create a unique outdoor living space at your home.
Retaining Walls - Steps, Walls & Landings
Retaining walls can be utilized to modify or accent your landscape transforming and enhancing your property. The retaining wall blocks now available locally offer great design options with contemporary colours and textures unmatched by other materials. Some of the new wall blocks like Stonehenge are designed for free standing structures and can be used to create accent walls, sitting areas, pillars and outdoor kitchens.
The retaining wall materials we install are engineered to incorporate stairs and caps which help to create a seamless system. You can rely on our expertise to design and construct a retaining wall that is built to industry specifications, insuring long lasting value.
Repair of Interlock Paving Stones, Retaining Walls & Steps
We repair all types of interlocking stone including retaining walls, patio slabs, steps and pavers (bricks). Sometimes these failures are due to poor drainage or improper engineering. Other times repairs are required due to the maintenance of underground services. We can complete a site assessment and determine what factors contributed to the failure and either repair or rebuild the problem area.
​
Indicators that repairs are needed:
​
-
Areas of depressions where water or dirt accumulates
-
Separation or drifting of pavers along edges
-
Heaving of pavers due to roots and plant material
-
Walls or steps leaning forward
-
Separation of blocks or steps
-
Loose caps or treads
​
We can provide you with solutions to your interlock and retaining wall problems. Some of our services include lifting and relaying problem areas, reinstating proper edge restraints or amending failed base materials.
Repairing your interlock pavers & retaining walls is a simple and cost effective approach to enhance the appearance of your home, remedy safety hazards and to extend the life of your investment.

Restoration of Interlock Paving Stones - Cleaning - Joint Sand
Dr. Interlock relies on professional grade cleaning equipment and quality products for the restoration of your interlocking brick pavers. To ensure a quality result each and every time we have developed a systematic approach to restoring your pavers.
​
There are two different types of jointing sand that we use,standard and polymeric. Both sands are well graded sharp sands that are ideal to ensure "interlock" between the pavers once compacted. We use the standard jointing sand when there are no issues with joint sand wash out or erosion and when there is no weed growth between the pavers.
We recommend using the polymeric sand when there have been problems with joint sand wash out or erosion and weed growth between the pavers. The polymeric jointing sand has an added polymer binder that stabilizes the sand and once activated enables the sand to resist erosion and displacement thereby minimizing weed growth and insect colonization.
Our restoration services will revitalize your interlock installation to its former glory and help to protect your investment for years to come. We do not take short cuts and only use quality products to ensure the best results. We will address every aspect of your project with skill and care, delivering a project that you can be proud of.
