Driveways, patios, walkways, and retaining walls in Markham
aMaximum Construction designs and installs beautiful interlocking stone driveways, patios, and walkways throughout Markham. Using premium concrete pavers, natural stone, and porcelain, we create durable outdoor surfaces that enhance your property's curb appeal and stand up to Ontario's demanding climate.
Interlocking pavers outperform poured concrete and asphalt in Markham's freeze-thaw climate. Individual pavers flex with ground movement — eliminating the cracking common in poured slabs. Damaged pavers can be replaced individually without replacing the entire surface. The result is a longer-lasting, better-looking driveway or patio.

Concrete pavers (Unilock, Permacon) are manufactured to consistent sizes and colours — more affordable and highly durable. Natural stone (slate, granite, limestone) has unique character but varies in thickness and costs more. Both perform well in Markham's climate.
In most cases, no — existing concrete must be removed to allow proper base preparation. The granular base thickness needed for Markham's frost depth cannot be achieved over an existing slab. Removing old concrete is included in our interlocking quotes.
Annual maintenance for Markham interlocking: re-sand joints with polymeric sand every 3–5 years, apply sealer every 2–4 years, remove weeds promptly, and avoid salt (use sand for winter traction). Avoid metal snow blower blades that can chip paver edges.
