Steps, walkways and patio installation Oakville ON
Oakville is well over 200K in population and is one of the most densely populated cities in Ontario and Canada. Located in Halton, it boasts diversity, culture, beautiful landscapes and nicely maintained buildings and architecture. At Masonry Oakville, our experienced masonry contractors are happy to be servicing this beautiful city, but contributing to the beautifying, restoration and masonry installations of the city.
One of our many services includes the installation of steps, walkways, patios and porches. As expert masons, we employ a variety of materials to suit our clients’ taste, budget and surroundings, including brick, stone (man-made and natural) and concrete. Our concrete services are done to meticulous standards to ensure beauty, functionality and durability, whether you’re looking to have a walkway, stairs or patio installation. For instance, we combine the proper amount of ingredients consisting of aggregate and paste, the latter consisting of portland cement and water to be bound to the aggregates (small rocks). Once the mixture has been combined, we use proper mixing to create an ideal consistency for curing. Undermixing or overmixing can be destructive to the concrete mixture, leading to gelification, heating and ultimately an unsuitable product that likely needs to be tossed and remixed. Our Oakville concrete contractors have many years of experience mixing and pouring concrete to exacting standards, so we can create a walkway or patio that can withstand high traffic and not be subjected to cracks and crumbling. |

If you have an existing concrete walkway or patio, but it’s looking in rough shape, it can be resurfaced. For superficial blemishes or cracks that don’t run too deep, it is possible to resurface the concrete with a cement layer. Additional finishing touches like stamping or stenciling can add stylistic flair after the cement has dried.
We do all types of porch and patio installations, and by types we’re referring to the design and material. Like mentioned above, we work with brick, concrete and stone. A popular request we get is flagstone installations for patios and walkways. We select the finest stone of a nice thickness, install it using a specialized technique, and ensure the ground is level and properly prepped before adding the flagstones. There are a few steps in between that minimize complications such as adding a permeable sheet over the gravel and sand and before the addition of the flagstones, to discourage the sprouting of weeds through the cracks.
There are some classic looks for patios and walkways; however, we have been asked to use brick as well for a variety of purposes. Brick doesn’t only belong on the vertical surface of structures like the sides of buildings or chimneys, but they can add a classic rustic look to walkways and steps as well. If anyone can use bricks properly, it is our bricklayers at Masonry Oakville.
How much do steps, walkways and patio installations cost? This is something we are more equipped to answer once we get a visual of your property, take a few measurements and have you decide on the material. Give us a call at Masonry Oakville to request a free consultation with our masonry experts.
