Interlocking Pavers

The first segmental paving system originated in 500 BC with the ancient Romans, while contemporary Interlocking Pavers were first used by the Dutch in WWII out of attempts to replace the clay and brick streets in favour of concrete. These dimensionally consistent, hand-sized concrete units (Interlocking Paver Stones) have become one of the most common paving systems.

Today, the way interlocking is installed is very similar to that of the Romans. The area is first excavated, before an aggregate base is added for longevity and drainage, and then the stones are placed on top and jointed with sand.

At Ravasco, we take pride in creating precise interlocking designs in a variety of configurations. Our goal is to ensure that every project we complete will last; this is why our standard excavation depth for walkways, driveways, and patios exceed the standard for the industry. For example, the minimum depth for driveway interlocking is 12 inches, while we always aim for a depth of 16-18 inches.

Additionally, we exclusively use high-quality materials:

• We only use HPB (High Performance Bedding) to screed for the pavers. This minimizes any unwanted movement.

• We recommend upgrading to Ultra Base (Granular A & Portland Cement) for the sub-base of any interlocking project. Alternatively, we offer wet-lay options, which is a significant upgrade from dry-lay interlock.

• We use Gator Alliance Polymeric Sand on the majority of our projects.

  • Ask us about Gator Alliance Permeable Sand.

• As for stone options, we work with a variety of trusted suppliers that offer a wide range of selections to suit any design.
