Patios, Walkways & Driveways Built on a Solid Base
Paving stones Edmonton homeowners choose should be built on a solid base with correct slope and tight joints. Our crew installs patios, walkways, and driveways with clean edges so pavers stay level and durable under daily traffic. Interlocking paver patios, driveways, and walkways with clean, durable finishes.
Long-term performance comes from the base. Every quote includes at least 4–6" of compacted crushed gravel (we typically install 6–8" of 20mm road crush or limestone screening), which is vital on Edmonton's clay soil so stones don't sink over time. We use woven geotextile fabric between the soil and the gravel. Before we dig we call Utility Safety Partners (formerly Alberta One Call) for locates so underground lines are marked and the work stays safe.

What We Build & How We Install
We build front entry walkways, side yard paths, patio extensions, and full backyard patios. Many projects include steps, border courses, and lighting sleeves so future upgrades are easy. Popular paver patterns include running bond, herringbone, and three-piece random layouts. We excavate, place fabric and gravel, and compact in 2" lifts. Pavers sit on 1" of bedding sand, get cut tight to edges, and are locked in with high-quality polymeric sand plus edge restraints staked every 12".
Pavers come in a wide range of sizes, textures, and colors. For driveways or high-traffic zones, we use thicker pavers and build a deeper base. Paving stones are easy to maintain—if a section ever settles, individual pavers can be lifted, the base adjusted, and the stones reset. Smaller patios and walkways usually take 2–3 days; larger patios with borders and steps can take 4–6 days. Driveways typically run 5–7 days.

5 months agoI know there are many landscaping companies out there, but Steve and his team truly stands out. They did an excellent job on our new build landscaping as well as constructing our new fence. The team was very professional, polite, responsive, and their pricing was fair. Highly recommended!

8 months agoI was lucky enough to find Serene construction landscaping through a Facebook group, the team showed up and walked me through the process and explained where the costs were coming from. They were all extremely professional and knowledgable. They worked like dogs for three days to get my lawn in pristine condition. It looks absolutely amazing.

A small patio can take 2 to 3 days, while larger layouts with steps or retaining walls can take 1 to 2 weeks.
Yes. We set slope at about 2% away from structures and use base prep to prevent pooling.
Yes. We use high-quality polymeric sand in all joints. It hardens after activation to lock pavers in place, prevent weed growth, and discourage ant hills.
Yes. Every quote includes at least 4–6 inches of compacted crushed gravel (we typically install 6–8"). That base is vital on Edmonton’s clay soil to prevent stones from sinking over time.
Yes. We install woven geotextile between the soil and the gravel base. In Edmonton it’s non-negotiable: without it, heavy clay can swallow the gravel over time and cause settling.
Yes. We call Utility Safety Partners (formerly Alberta One Call) before we dig so underground lines are marked and the work is done safely.
In Edmonton’s freeze-thaw climate, paving stones are often superior to poured concrete because they’re flexible. When the ground heaves in spring, stones shift individually and can be easily reset. Poured concrete is prone to spider-web cracking here. That damage is permanent and expensive to patch. With pavers you get a surface that can move with the frost and be repaired in place.
Yes. We install paving stone patios, walkways, and front entry paths across St. Albert, including Braeside, Lacombe Park, Erin Ridge, and Riverside. Our installations are built to handle Alberta's freeze-thaw cycles with proper base depth and compaction.
