Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between pavers, natural stone, and poured concrete for a patio or driveway?
Interlocking pavers flex with frost heave and let you lift a single unit to fix a utility line, which makes them ideal for Vancouver's freeze-thaw cycles. Natural stone (flagstone, basalt, granite) has unmatched character but costs more and requires a mason who knows how to cut and set it. Poured concrete gives a clean modern look at a lower price but will eventually crack—control joints just tell it where. We help you pick based on the look you want, the traffic the surface will take, and your long-term maintenance tolerance.
How much does hardscaping cost per square foot in the Lower Mainland?
Basic concrete paver patios run $25–$40 per square foot installed. Premium natural stone or large-format porcelain slabs range from $45 to $90+ per square foot. Retaining walls are priced by the face foot—allan block or similar starts around $55/sq ft, while engineered or natural stone walls over 4 feet can exceed $150/sq ft. Driveways, because of base depth and reinforcement, typically start at $30–$50 per square foot.
How long does a typical hardscape install take?
A standard backyard paver patio is usually 1–2 weeks on site. Retaining walls add a week or two depending on height and drainage complexity. Driveways run 1–3 weeks including excavation, base prep, and a curing window if concrete is involved. Big multi-zone projects—patio plus walls plus driveway—can stretch to 6–10 weeks, and we sequence them so you still have site access.
Why does base preparation matter so much in Vancouver's climate?
This is the single biggest reason cheap hardscape fails here. Our wet winters and freeze-thaw cycles punish any surface that wasn't excavated deep enough or doesn't drain properly. We dig 8–12 inches below grade, compact road-base gravel in lifts, and install drain tile where needed. Skipping this is why you see sunken pavers and leaning walls all over the Lower Mainland. Municipal bylaws in Vancouver, Burnaby, and Surrey also require permits for retaining walls over 1.2 metres, and we handle those applications.
Do you offer a warranty on hardscape projects?
Yes—every hardscape install comes with our 5-year workmanship warranty covering settlement, base failure, and wall movement beyond acceptable tolerances. Manufacturer warranties on pavers and block are typically lifetime against structural defects. All work is done by in-house Landscapify crews (ICPI-trained paver installers, not subcontractors), so if something ever needs attention, you call us directly.
