Planning – At 2 Queens Home Services, we like to work closely with our clients to help them achieve their ideal exterior aesthetic through quality landscaping. During this process we will be conducting site surveys, informing you of the correct permits needed and then we will proceed to the designing process.
Excavation – After planning the first step would be to excavate the grass and topsoil. We determine the depth through 2 factors: Existing soil type & Use. Typically excavation for interlock is 12-24 inches deep. clay-based soil will require a deeper excavation whereas sandy soil will require less. Areas that will see heavier traffic such as a driveway will require a deeper excavation as opposed to light traffic areas such as patios, backyard and walkways.
Base Gravel – Once we complete the excavation, we will fill the area up with base gravel. We ensure that the gravel is durable enough to keep up with the load of whatever is placed on the surface. We ensure that the gravel is free draining so that water drainage leads to the subsoil (immediate layer under the topsoil). Using the right tools, the gravel base is firmly packed in several layers, this ensures adequate support for the interlocking paver/stone to stay in place.
Bedding Layer – We layer and spread 1’ of sand or tiny stone chips smoothly on top of our gravel base. This process makes sure that the surface is accurately leveled or sloped for proper drainage. We also use geotextile fabric as added protection against weeds growing in between the stones and pavers.
Laying The Stones/Pavers – After the bedding layer has been set and smoothed (known as “screeding”), the pavers are laid on top of it.
Restraint System/Edging – To prevent pavers from drifting out we secure the edge restraint with long metal spikes. Edging is crucial and prevents the pavers from shifting or sinking over time. Edging can be done with bricks, concrete or stone.
Joint Material – We offer two options for joint material: Polymeric sand and Basic joint sand. If you choose to go with a basic sand joint, we recommend adding in a special sealer, this will prevent weeds between the joints.
Polymeric sand is more durable and lasts longer because we combine it with a binding agent.
Sealing the interlock – Sealing is important because it protects the joints and provides a protective layer against oil and grease stains.

Interlocking in landscaping is a type of design that uses blocks of different colours and textures to create a visually interesting pattern. There are many different ways to create an interlocking landscape, so you can tailor it to your own tastes and needs. By using interlocking techniques, you can create pathways, borders, and even entire landscapes that look like they belong together. Interlocking pavers can be cement or concrete or natural stones such as flagstone, granite, marble, limestone, sandstone and slate.
A variety of interlocking services are available through 2 Queens Home Services. We’ll develop a strategy for the entire process, informing you of the finest choices for creating an amazing interlocking space for your home. For further information and a free quote, contact us today!

When it comes to driveway, porch, patio, and pathway construction for your property, interlocking and asphalt are two very distinct types of methods. Asphalt is typically used in driveways and some side paths for your home, whereas interlocking is popular for all of these elements in your property. Interlocking is much more diverse in its uses, mainly due to the variety of colors, materials, and styles available to homeowners. Asphalt, while extremely cost-effective, is quite plain, as it is a smooth black layer of cement.
In the long run, asphalt will require more upkeep since it must be sealed every few years, while interlock requires minimal care for a 20-40 year span.
Interlocking and asphalt pavements are both excellent choices for homeowners, but the most important aspects to consider when choosing between interlocking and asphalt are appearance, initial cost, and long-term upkeep. 2 Queens Home Services offers extensive interlocking services (and asphalt too) all across Ottawa and its surrounding areas, so contact us for a consultation on which choice is best for you.
