Interlock

The use of interlock designs in landscaping is becoming an increasingly popular selection for home owners.  Using interlocking stones has been around for centuries, so it’s no wonder that the tried and true installation remains fashionable today.  Aside from their artistic appeal, interlocking designs have a number of benefits over other types of concrete projects.  They’re great as flooring in multiple places throughout the yard and home, including walkways and stone pool decks.  During our installation process, or meticulous technicians attend to every detail to make sure the design is perfectly arranged, as well as long lasting through the lifetime of the home.  

Interlock
Interlock design has been around for centuries from the time of the first Roman roads, and this composition is still a popular design in today’s homes.  When choosing an interlock design, clients have the option to go with natural stone construction or select manmade pavers, each of which has their own benefits and downfalls.  No matter the material selected, the design is fully customizable from types of stone to styles, colours and specific patterns.  This customizability is one of the reasons interlock is such a popular selection. With either type of material, interlock designs have natural slip resistance, as well as a high level of longevity.

Benefits
At Landscaping Halifax, we not only tout the beauty of interlock, but also its numerous practical benefits.  Both natural stone constructions and manmade pavers are permeable, which means they’re environmentally friendly for the surfaces upon which they’re built.  These types of installations are good for handling heavy traffic, which also makes them great for designing an interlocking driveway.  Interlock is easy to repair when damaged, although it is highly durable and experiences significantly less cracks that the alternative of concrete projects.  In addition, a well installed interlock expertly laid by our team of professionals has great curb appeal which adds to the value of the home as a whole. 

Installation Locations
Interlocking stone and pavers are one of the most versatile terrains available when it comes to landscaping design.  Because of their ability to withstand high or heavy traffic they’re an excellent selection for clients who want an interlocking driveway that’s as beautiful as it is functional.  We also install beautiful custom designed interlocks in walkways, garden paths, terraces and balconies.  Interlock installations are a great choice for decks and patios, particularly as a surface that needs little to no maintenance.  Additionally, their natural slip resistant qualities make them a perfect choice for pool decks or dock construction. 

Installation Process
During our interlock installations, we pride ourselves on our attention to detail on these intricate designs.  While some may consider undertaking interlock installation as a DIY project, there are numerous benefits to having our team of experts handle the job.  Interlock needs to be installed on a level surface which is best understood by landscape experts.  Because the stones are permeable, they need to have the proper avenues for drainage, particularly when used as a stone pool deck.  Our company advises clients on the best way to maintain their interlock installation, as well as offering services for scheduled preventative maintenance.
