How does YardGrade rank interlocking contractors?

YardGrade tracks 927 interlocking contractors working across Canada, with a median 4.74★ Google rating over 38,436 reviews. In the Toronto market, installed interlocking typically runs $18–$28 per sq ft according to NR Builds Inc. (Toronto). YardGrade ranks every company by verified review data and verification checks, never paid placement, so the shortlist below reflects real reputation.

Rankings can't be bought. YardGrade scores each company with a Bayesian-adjusted Google rating, which weighs review volume so a 5.0 on three reviews does not outrank a 4.8 on three hundred. We then add small verification boosts for an active website, a listed phone number and real project photos. Across our dataset, 70% of rated interlocking contractors clear 4.8★, so ranking gaps are meaningful. Positions update as new review data lands. Read our full methodology.

Questions to ask your contractor

  • What base depth will you excavate, and is geotextile included? See what proper base prep costs
  • Which paver line and thickness are you quoting (60mm vs 80mm)? Compare material tiers
  • Is polymeric sand and edge restraint included in the price?
  • How do you handle settling — what does your warranty cover, for how long?
  • Will this design keep 75% of the front yard as soft landscaping (Toronto bylaw)? Interlock vs asphalt rules

How do I choose a good interlocking contractor?

Compare at least three written, itemized quotes rather than defaulting to the cheapest. YardGrade ranks 927 interlocking contractors at a median 4.74★ Google rating and a median of 25 reviews each, so start with the shortlist above, then confirm insurance and recent local references before you sign.

When is the best time to book interlocking?

The interlocking season runs Apr–Nov. Reputable companies book several weeks ahead in peak months, so request quotes early; shoulder-season bookings often win better pricing.

Do I need a permit, and is sales tax included in interlocking quotes?

Most posted prices exclude tax, and the rate depends on the province. Sales tax varies by province — Ontario adds 13% HST, Alberta and BC add 5% GST. Permit needs depend on scope and municipality: routine work rarely needs one, but driveway widening, boulevard work and retaining walls over 1 metre generally require municipal approval a reputable contractor handles. Open your city above for the local rate and rules.

Can companies pay to rank higher on YardGrade?

No. Rankings come from a Bayesian-adjusted Google rating plus verification boosts for a website, phone and photos, never payment. Across our dataset, 70% of rated interlocking contractors clear 4.8★, so small ranking gaps are meaningful. Full details are on our methodology page.
