Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a typical interlocking paver driveway take to install?

A standard 20×20 ft driveway usually takes 3–4 days: 1 day for excavation/material delivery, 1 day for subgrade compaction, 1 day for paver installation, and curing/cleanup time.

Do I need a permit for interlocking pavers in Toronto?
Yes. Most municipalities require a permit for any new driveway or patio surface larger than 108 sq ft. Valencia LCD handles all permit submissions—Toronto Building Division, Mississauga Building Department, etc.
What is the best base for long-lasting pavers in GTA’s climate?
A crushed gravel base (3/4″ stone) compacted to at least 98% proctor density, plus a layer of sand bedding. We also install geotextile fabric in clay-rich soils to prevent settling.
Can I use permeable pavers in Toronto to reduce runoff?
Absolutely. We offer interlocking permeable pavers approved by the Toronto Green Standard to manage stormwater and reduce basement flooding risk.
