BeforeDon't replace your driveway. Revive it.
A full interlock replacement in Ottawa runs $25,000–$40,000. In most cases the stones and base are fine — what's failing is the joints and the surface. We restore both, in days, at a fraction of the cost.
Restore first. Seal when it's ready.
A sealer is only as good as the joints underneath it. That's why every project starts with restoration — and sealing only happens over joints that have cured and proven sound.
Step 1 · The RestorationInterlock Restoration — Natural Finish
The complete rebuild: joints extracted and cleaned, premium polymeric sand vibration-compacted and levelled. The natural stone look, with flexible joints built for freeze-thaw. Right for most driveways — and for homeowners who want a natural stone look.

Step 2 · The Finish — OptionalInterlock CAT5 Seal & Renew
Once joints have cured and proven sound — ours after 30+ days, or an existing installation that passes assessment — the Trident Hurricane CAT5 urethane, applied by Ottawa's first certified CAT5 installer, adds rich satin colour and 3–5 winters of protection. Right for patios and walkways that deserve the deeper look.

Some contractors flood sealer over fresh sand in a single visit. It looks great on day one — but a rigid joint over a base nobody verified is a joint that can crack when Ottawa's freeze-thaw moves the ground. If your joints aren't ready to seal, we'll tell you.
Before and after — the same stones.

What describes it best? (pick any that apply)
Saturated steam clears the weeds and their roots, and the freshly locked joint that follows leaves little room for new growth to establish.
CAT5 goes only over sound, cured polymeric sand, so sealing starts with a joint check at the assessment.
Roughly how big?
