Why the range is wide
Interlock Experts Toronto prices every project after a free on-site measure, because the same square footage can cost meaningfully different amounts depending on paver tier, site access, existing surface removal, and base conditions. The tiers above are a starting reference, not a quote; treat them as researched, market-plausible ranges until you have a written number for your specific project.
What actually moves the price
Paver brand and pattern account for a meaningful part of the spread between the Good and Best tiers above. Site conditions – existing surface removal, drainage work, and how much base rebuilding is needed – are the other major factor, and they're exactly what the free on-site visit is for.
Pricing questions
How much does an interlock driveway cost in Toronto?
Ontario/GTA market data points to roughly $20-50 per square foot depending on paver tier and site conditions, with most projects landing in the middle of that range. Request a free on-site measure for an exact written quote.
Is interlock more expensive than concrete?
Yes, upfront – concrete is typically cheaper to pour initially. Interlock's advantage is long-term: individual pavers can be reset instead of replacing a whole cracked slab.
What's included in the price?
Permit handling, demolition of the old surface, base excavation and compaction, paver installation, and site cleanup – see each tier above for material-level detail.
Repair or full replacement – which do I need?
If pavers are intact and only the base has shifted, lift and relay is usually the lower-cost option. Full replacement makes sense when pavers are cracked, faded, or the base has failed broadly. See interlock repair.
