I’ve been noticing that a few driveways in my neighbourhood look flawless despite heavy snow and frost, while others already have uneven stones and small gaps. I’m curious what really makes the difference — is it the base preparation, drainage, or the way the pavers are installed? It seems like there’s a lot more to it than just laying the stones in a pattern.

I spent hours shoveling and making sure water didn’t pool, but the dips kept appearing. Then the team suggested techniques I hadn’t considered before. In the middle of the work, we followed guidance from https://oakshs.ca/maple-interlocking-services/ about reinforcing the edges and compacting the base properly. The difference was immediate — the stones stayed level, water drained correctly, and even after heavy frost, the driveway didn’t budge. It finally feels solid and dependable, like it was built to last.
