- What is an interlock driveway and how does it differ from traditional driveways?An interlock driveway is constructed using interlocking pavers or bricks that fit together like puzzle pieces, creating a durable and visually appealing surface. Unlike traditional driveways, which may use concrete or asphalt, interlock driveways allow for more design flexibility and are known for their strength, resistance to cracking, and ease of repair. This FAQ provides an overview of the basic characteristics that distinguish interlock driveways from traditional options.
- What are the benefits of choosing an interlock driveway for my property?Interlock driveways provide benefits such as enhanced curb appeal, customization options in terms of colors and patterns, durability, and the ability to replace individual pavers if they become damaged. Additionally, it provides improved drainage and permeability compared to solid surfaces.
- How do I maintain an interlock driveway, and what steps can be taken to prevent weed growth between the pavers?Maintaining an interlock driveway involves regular cleaning and sealing every 2-4 years to keep the pavers in good condition. To prevent weed growth between the pavers, ensure proper drainage as weeds tend to thrive in cool, damp environments. Regular sweeping or brushing can also help deter weed development. Additionally, natural solutions like a mixture of vinegar, salt, and dish soap can be sprayed to kill weeds and prevent new ones from sprouting.
- Are interlock driveways suitable for all climates, and how do they handle extreme weather conditions?Yes, interlock driveways are suitable for all climates. They are especially beneficial in areas with extreme weather conditions due to their durability and flexibility. In cold climates, they resist cracking from freeze-thaw cycles better than solid surfaces like concrete or asphalt. In warmer climates, the spaces between the pavers allow for proper drainage during heavy rains, reducing the risk of flooding.
- What is the cost comparison between interlock driveways and traditional driveway options?Interlock driveways typically cost more upfront compared to traditional driveway options such as asphalt or concrete. The material cost for interlocking pavers can vary widely, and the total cost including installation also depends on factors like the complexity of the design and local labor rates. However, they can often be more cost-effective in the long run due to their durability and lower maintenance needs.

Interlocking Process
Step 1: Planning & Design
The first step in any interlock driveway project is to assess the area and determine your desired layout and design. Creating a detailed plan which includes measurements and materials needed while considering factors such as drainage, slope and existing elements.
Step 2: Excavation
We will then clear the area of vegetation, debris, and any existing structures. This allows us to excavate the site to the required depth, taking into account the thickness of the base and pavers.
Step 3: Base Preparation
Preparing the base includes installing a geotextile fabric to prevent weed growth and stabilize the base. To create the solid and level base we spread and compact a layer of granular material, such as crushed stone or gravel.
Step 4: Compaction and Sand Bedding
Now we use a vibrating plate compactor to firmly compact the pavers into the base. Spreading a layer of fine sand over the surface fills the gaps between the pavers. Now we compact the pavers one more time to settle them properly.
Step 5: Paver Installation
Next, we start laying the pavers from one corner or edge, following the design plan. To ensure proper alignment, spacing, and pattern of the design we will cut pavers to fit the edges and corners using a wet saw if necessary..
Step 6: Edge Restraints
Installing edge restraints, such as plastic or concrete will hold the pavers in place to prevent any shifting.
Step 7: Finishing Touches
Clean the surface of the pavers by removing any excess sand or debris then apply a sealant or joint stabilizer. This step enhances the durability and appearance of the interlocking.

Avi Koller2024-06-10Daniel , Michael and their team have done a great job sodding my backyard, also made a nice stepping stone path, and protected the grass from raccoons by reinforcement mesh; all was done in two days perfectly, installing beautiful new lawn and pathway. In addition, I have received professional advice from Michael and instructions of how to water and maintain the new lawn.
Dennis Tuohy2024-06-08MyLandscapers put down some sod for me a couple of years ago, and because I was so impressed with their professionalism, reasonable price, and skilled work, I decided to reach out to them again to do some landscaping at the side of my house. Once again, they got back to me right away and sent someone within a day or two to assess the work to be done. Their vision for the area made much more sense than my own, so I asked them to go ahead with the work. Within a couple of weeks of that, I came home to their amazing vision having come to life! Michael and Daniel communicated well, they are reasonably priced, and they do great work. I have already recommended them to friends and colleagues and I will continue to do so! Thank you MyLandscapers!!
