Residential landscape construction.

Interlock driveways

We install standard and permeable interlock driveways. Choose paving and a border that complement the house, with room to park and reach the entrance. We’ll discuss the existing surface and site access as part of your estimate.

Retaining walls

We build retaining walls in block, armour stone and natural stone. Define a raised garden bed or make better use of a sloping yard. Tell us where you need support and how you want to use the space.

Pool surrounds

Make room to sit beside the water and move between the pool and garden. We build pool surrounds with stone paving and borders that suit your home. Plan the lounging area and routes to the house together.

Stone walkways & patios

We install interlock and natural stone walkways and patios. Plan a clear route to the front door or a backyard patio with room for your table and chairs. We’ll help you connect the layout to the house and garden.

Planning your hardscaping project.

Draft process and FAQ copy for review with Armour Build.

  1. Discuss your property

    Tell us what you want to change and share your location. We’ll discuss the project with you and arrange a site visit when needed.

  2. Review the layout and estimate

    We’ll discuss materials and site conditions, then outline the proposed work and estimate. Review the scope with us before deciding to proceed.

  3. Prepare for construction

    We’ll confirm site access and the schedule before work begins. Planning includes the preparation, grade changes and drainage your project needs.

  4. Review the finished work

    Walk through the completed hardscaping with us. We’ll explain how to care for your paving or stonework and answer your questions.

Your hardscaping questions.

What affects the cost of hardscaping?

The area to cover, material choice and site preparation affect the estimate. Removing existing paving, restricted access and changes in grade can add work. Share your project type and location; we’ll review the scope before quoting.

Do I need a landscape design to get started?

You can start with an idea. Tell us how you want to use the space and share any drawings you have. Approximate dimensions and examples of stonework you like help us discuss the layout with you.

Should I choose interlock or natural stone?

Consider where you’ll use it, the finish you prefer and the upkeep you’re comfortable with. Interlock offers a choice of paver shapes and patterns; natural stone varies in colour and texture. We’ll discuss options suited to your driveway, walkway or patio.

What should I plan for a pool surround?

Think about room for loungers, walking routes and the connection to the house. Discuss paving texture, drainage and the pool edge with the contractors involved. Tell us whether your pool exists or forms part of a new project so we can discuss the hardscaping scope.

Can a retaining wall help with a sloping yard?

A retaining wall can hold back soil and separate areas at different heights. The wall’s size and location affect the design and preparation it needs. Describe the slope and your plans for the area so we can review the work with you.

Do you work outside Guelph?

Armour Build is based in Guelph, Ontario. Include your city or postal code in the estimate form. We’ll confirm whether we can take on work at your location before planning the next step.

When can my hardscaping project start?

The scope of work, material availability and our schedule affect the start date. Include your preferred timing in your enquiry. We’ll discuss availability and confirm the schedule before construction.
