Interlock, repairs, drainage and outdoor landscaping — local service in Blainville, Laval, Lorraine.

What’s the difference between interlock pavers and “paving” (asphalt)?

Interlock pavers = individual paver stones installed on a compacted granular base with joints (often polymeric sand). Paving is often used to refer to asphalt. At Prestige Pave Uni, we specialize in interlock pavers and outdoor landscaping (not asphalt).

What interlock projects do you do in Blainville, Laval and Lorraine?

Driveways, walkways, patios, steps, edging and pool areas. We can also adjust slopes, stabilize sections, and integrate drainage solutions depending on the property.

How long does a residential interlock project take?

It depends on the surface area, access, and preparation required (excavation/base/drainage). In general, a residential project takes a few days, sometimes longer if site corrections or a water evacuation system are needed.

My interlock is sinking—can it be repaired without redoing everything?

Often yes. We lift the affected section, correct the base (compaction/leveling), reset the pavers, and redo the joints. The goal: a stable, long-lasting correction.

Why do joint lines empty out or become uneven?

Common causes: worn joints, water infiltration, overly aggressive pressure washing, base movement, or slopes that bring water across the surface. Re-leveling + the right joint material often fixes the problem.

Do you also repair walls, retaining walls and steps?

Yes. We repair interlock pavers, walls/retaining walls and steps depending on the base condition, alignment, and stability. The goal is to prevent the movement from coming back.

I have standing water—what can you do?

We start by analyzing slopes and the pooling areas. Possible solutions: grading corrections, trenching/drainage, gutter water routing, slope adjustments, and if needed a French drain depending on the situation.

Can water pooling damage interlock pavers?

Yes. Water can weaken the base, shift sections, and cause settlement or joint separation. Correcting the runoff and stabilizing the base helps protect durability.

Do you install French drains in Blainville and Laval?

Yes, when required. A French drain helps manage subsurface water and protect foundations from infiltration. We always validate access, slope, and the best discharge point.

Why route gutter water farther away from the house?

Because water too close to foundations increases humidity risk and yard pooling. A proper evacuation system reduces soil saturation and protects the exterior.

What is mini excavation used for in an outdoor project?

To prep the site, dig trenches (drainage/evacuation), correct levels, and remove or move materials. It’s a precise solution, ideal for residential access.

Do you work in tight-access areas?

Yes. Mini excavation is especially useful when access is tighter. We plan the approach to minimize impact on the yard and keep the jobsite clean.

What is acrylic coating used for on foundations and steps?

Acrylic coating provides a clean, uniform, durable finish. It also helps protect exposed surfaces and improves the look of foundations and steps.

Does acrylic coating replace concrete repair?

No. If the concrete is cracked or unstable, we address the defects first (minor repair if needed). Then acrylic is applied to uniformize and protect the surface.

Glass railings: are they safe and durable?

Yes—tempered glass is designed for safety. Installation and anchoring must be done properly, in the right locations, with a clean finish for a durable, elegant result.

Do you install around existing pools?

Yes. We adapt the installation to the surface (interlock, concrete, etc.) and aim for a clean, aligned look that integrates well with the outdoor layout.

What types of outdoor lighting do you offer?

Functional and aesthetic lighting: walkways, entrances, outlines, and highlighting landscaping elements. The goal: safety, ambience, and stronger curb appeal.

Does lighting really “upgrade” a yard?

Yes. Proper placement highlights surfaces, volumes and functional zones. It’s a simple upgrade that creates a premium look at night.

How do I get an accurate quote?

Ideally: your city (Blainville/Laval/Lorraine), the service, approximate dimensions, and 2–3 photos. This helps us assess access, site condition, and required corrections.

Is the quote free?

Do you only work on the North Shore?

Our main area is Blainville, Laval, Lorraine and nearby North Shore cities. If your project is close, contact us and we’ll confirm feasibility based on the schedule.

What’s your approach for a long-lasting result?

Solid base, proper compaction, accurate leveling, and a clean finish. For water issues: grading/drainage corrections. The goal is to prevent future settlement and keep a sharp look.

What maintenance do you recommend for interlock pavers?

Keep joints in good condition, avoid overly aggressive pressure washing, and watch for areas where water pools. If a section starts moving, repairing it early often costs less than waiting.
