INTERLOCK

Interlocking brick is a great choice and can be used for any number of landscaping projects: driveways, retaining walls, walkways and patios. It is a very versatile choice with many different colours. The one main advantage of interlock is the ability to re-level it. With our harsh environment many surfaces will crack and sink, especially concrete and asphalt. It can become very expensive to fix this problem. With interlock you only have to remove the stones, re-level the base and lay the stones back in place.

A typical excavation depth for interlock is 8"-10" but at Valley Landscaping & Excavating our standard is 12"-16" of crushed stone. The more depth added to the crushed stone base will increase its durability and resistance to heaving. When interlock is installed properly you can get about 15-20 years out of it. The key to any installation is the crushed stone base. The more of a base, the longer the life of the project will be.

When we come out to do the job we make sure it is done right the first time and will give you a long lasting structure that you can be happy with.

Landscaping was the final stage of a two-year renovation to turn our summer cottage into a year-round home. Meristemdesigns provided us with the plans that would turn the mess resulting from the installation of a new septic system into a beautiful low-maintenance garden. We needed a landscaping contractor that would bring our plan to life.Valley Landscaping & Excavating were able to do just that. Our project was a big one – retaining walls were needed to contain the new septic system. Pathways, around two sides of the house and from the driveway to a side entrance had to be installed. New gravel for the driveway was required.

Over the two years of our renovations, delays by various contractors without much communication were very frustrating to us. Alex knew that and was very sensitive to the importance of keeping us informed, making sure that we knew when he was going to be on-site and keeping us up-to-date on the timing of the various stages. His expertise ensured that we chose the best material for the pathways that would properly integrate with our natural surroundings. He anticipated our desire to self install an underground sprinkler system so that could be accomplished in time for the delivery of fill. Alex made sure that our project was completed in time for a large open house we had planned and this was especially appreciated (even if the rainy weather that day was not!). The site was left clean and his employees were polite and considerate at all times.

It is our pleasure to recommend Valley Landscaping & Excavating for any project. The result has been amazing and we have received many compliments about our home and his work.
