Why Choose Interlock Pavers for Your Driveway
The National Capital Region’s varied climate and underlying clay and loam soils require driveway materials that can accommodate ground movement and temperature shifts. Interlock pavers perform well under these conditions due to their flexibility and resilience:
-
Flexible surface system: Individual pavers adjust slightly during freeze-thaw cycles, reducing the risk of large cracks.
-
Drainage capability: Properly installed interlock driveways allow water to flow between pavers, helping reduce surface pooling and erosion.
-
Repair convenience: Unlike asphalt or concrete, damaged interlock sections can be lifted and reset without disturbing the surrounding area.
-
Adaptable to soil types: Well-compacted granular base materials beneath interlock systems suit Ottawa’s clay and loam soils.
Long-term Benefits of Interlock Driveways
Interlock systems offer extended value beyond installation. Key long-term benefits include:
-
Low ongoing maintenance: Requires occasional sanding and cleaning only.
-
Long service life: Durable structure resists wear under regular use.
-
Utility access: Pavers can be lifted and reinstalled for underground work.
-
Visual consistency: Repairs maintain the original layout and finish.
-
Reusable materials: Units can often be relocated or repurposed.

Our Interlock Driveway Installation Process
JND Paving Inc follows a structured, detail-focused installation approach to reduce post-installation issues:
-
Site evaluation and grading: Soil is assessed for stability, and the area is excavated appropriately.
-
Base preparation: A layer of compacted crushed stone is installed to provide strength and drainage support.
-
Paver laying: Interlocking stones are placed in the selected pattern with joint spacing maintained for uniformity.
-
Edge restraint placement: Concrete or plastic edging is secured to prevent lateral paver movement.
-
Joint filling and compaction: Polymeric sand is swept into the joints, and the entire surface is compacted to lock the pavers in place.
This method provides a durable and stable structure while reducing the risk of future settlement or displacement.
