Paving Stone FAQs
How much does a paving stone patio or driveway cost in Calgary?
The cost of paving stone installation in Calgary depends on the size of the area, the type of paving stone selected, site access, excavation and base preparation requirements, drainage, and the complexity of the design.
A simple paving stone walkway will generally cost less than a large patio or driveway that requires significant excavation, grading or custom patterns. At Assiniboine Landscapes, we provide custom estimates based on your property, project goals and material selections so you know what is involved before construction begins.
Are paving stones better than concrete for Calgary's climate?
Paving stones can be an excellent alternative to poured concrete in Calgary because individual stones can accommodate some ground movement and can be repaired or replaced if an area shifts or becomes damaged.
This can be particularly beneficial in Calgary, where freeze-thaw cycles can be hard on outdoor surfaces. Proper installation is still essential. A well-prepared base and proper grading and drainage help prevent paving stones from shifting, sinking or becoming uneven over time.
How long do paving stones last?
Professionally installed paving stones can provide a durable, long-lasting surface for patios, walkways and driveways. Their lifespan depends on the quality of the materials, base preparation, drainage, installation and ongoing maintenance.
One advantage of paving stones is that individual stones can often be lifted, releveled or replaced if necessary rather than replacing the entire surface. Proper installation from the beginning is one of the most important factors in how well a paving stone surface performs over time.
What can paving stones be used for?
Paving stones are extremely versatile and can be used throughout a residential landscape. Common applications include patios, walkways, garden paths, driveways, front entrances, fire pit areas, seating areas and landscape borders.
They are available in a wide variety of colours, shapes, textures and patterns, making it possible to choose a style that complements your home and the surrounding landscape. Paving stones can also be incorporated into a larger landscape design alongside retaining walls, gardens, decks and other outdoor features.
How do you prevent paving stones from sinking or shifting?
Preventing paving stones from sinking or shifting starts below the surface. Proper excavation, base preparation, compaction, grading and drainage are essential to creating a stable paving stone installation.
At Assiniboine Landscapes, we prepare a solid base, establish proper grading for drainage, and carefully level and place the stones to create a stable finished surface. These steps are especially important in Calgary, where seasonal freeze-thaw conditions can contribute to ground movement.
Assiniboine also provides a 2-year warranty on landscape construction projects, including paving stone installations.
