Paver patios and walkways give you durable, good-looking outdoor surfaces that won't crack like a poured slab. We install interlocking pavers for patios, walkways, and driveways across Burnaby and Metro Vancouver, set on a properly excavated and compacted base. The difference between a patio that stays flat for decades and one that heaves in two winters is entirely in the base, and that's where most installers cut corners. We don't. We excavate deep enough, compact in lifts, and set the pavers with edge restraint so they stay tight.

When you need paver patios & walkways
A new patio or outdoor living space
Pavers give you a flat, durable patio that handles our freeze-thaw far better than poured concrete.
A walkway or front entry
A clean paver path lifts the whole look of a home and gives sure footing in the rain.
A driveway that can take the weight
With the right base, paver driveways carry vehicles and look far better than asphalt.
Replacing cracked or heaved surfaces
If your old patio or path is cracked, sunken, or a trip hazard, pavers on a proper base are the lasting fix.
Our process
- 1
Design and excavate
We lay out the area and dig to the right depth for the use, deeper for a driveway than a walkway.
- 2
Build the base
Gravel goes in and gets compacted in lifts. A solid, compacted base is the whole reason a paver surface stays flat.
- 3
Screed and set
We screed bedding sand flat, then set the pavers tight in your chosen pattern.
- 4
Restrain and lock
Edge restraint holds the perimeter and polymeric sand locks the joints, so nothing spreads or sprouts weeds.
- 5
Compact and finish
A final compaction seats everything, then we clean up and the surface is ready to use.
Why choose Burnaby Masonry for paver patios & walkways
The base is everything
We excavate deep and compact in lifts. That's why our patios stay flat while cheaper jobs heave.
Built for our climate
Pavers flex with freeze-thaw instead of cracking like a slab, and we detail drainage so water doesn't pool.
Clean patterns and edges
Good layout and tight edges are what make a paver job look custom rather than DIY.
Weed-resistant joints
Polymeric sand locks the joints so you're not pulling weeds out of your patio every summer.
Where we work
We provide paver patios & walkways throughout Burnaby and across Metro Vancouver. See all areas we serve
A paver surface is only as good as the base under it, and that's the part you can't see once it's done. We build it right from the ground up. For a patio, walkway, or driveway that lasts, call us for a free quote.
