Interlock driveway replacements
Hamilton’s older driveways have earned retirement. We remove failing asphalt or concrete and rebuild from the base up — patterned interlock with borders, drainage corrected, built to outlast what it replaced.
Serving Hamilton & beyond the GTA
Landscaping in Hamilton.
Hamilton is a city of character homes and hillside lots — and both demand more from a contractor. Pisces replaces worn-out asphalt and concrete driveways with precision interlock, builds retaining walls for sloped escarpment lots, and designs complete landscapes that respect the age of the street while working for modern life.
What we build in Hamilton
Character homes, sloped lots, tired driveways — rebuilt properly:
Garden suites & tiny houses
Four models from about 480 to 800 sq ft with striking ACM facades — and we handle the building permit process from drawings to City approvals.
Landscaping & planting
Full landscape renovations for established Hamilton homes — grading, sod, garden beds and planting that suits an older neighbourhood instead of fighting it.
Heated snow-melting driveways
Radiant heating under your pavers melts snow on contact. No shoveling, no salt damage, a clear driveway all winter.
Decks & fences
Decks and privacy fences that give an older backyard a finished, modern frame — built to last and made for long summers.
Grading & drainage
Sloped lots move water fast. We correct grading and install drainage so rain and meltwater go where they should — away from your foundation.
Built for Hamilton’s lots, not against them
A lot of Hamilton’s charm comes from its age — brick facades from another era, streets where every house is different. But age shows outdoors first: cracked concrete, asphalt that has heaved through years of freeze and thaw, front yards that settled into slopes toward the house. The fix is not a patch. A driveway replacement starts with full excavation — the old surface out, the base rebuilt and compacted, then interlock laid with patterns and borders that suit the house. Done this way, the new driveway outlasts the one it replaced by decades.
And then there is the slope. Hamilton’s hillside streets give many homes a dramatic view and a complicated yard. Retaining walls have to hold back real weight, so we build them properly — compacted base, geogrid reinforcement where the height calls for it, drainage behind the wall — and finish them in stone and block that looks like it belongs on an older street. Water management is part of every retaining project: grading and drainage redirect runoff away from foundations, because a beautiful wall that traps water is just a future problem.

- Permits handled. For garden suites, we take care of the building permit process from drawings to City approvals.
- One team, whole property. The driveway, the walls, the drainage and the landscape — coordinated, not pieced together.
- Own equipment, owner-operated crews. Bobcat compact loaders, excavators and trailers are ours — no rental delays, no subcontracted surprises.

Hamilton questions, answered
My driveway is old concrete. Can you convert it to interlock?
Yes — that is one of our most common Hamilton jobs. We remove the existing surface, rebuild the base properly with compacted aggregate, and lay interlock with borders in a pattern that suits your home.
Our lot slopes toward the house. Can you fix that?
Yes. We regrade so water flows away from the foundation, build retaining walls where the slope needs holding, and install drainage behind the work so the fix is permanent.
How do you build a retaining wall that lasts?
With proper engineering discipline: a compacted base, geogrid reinforcement where the height calls for it, and drainage behind the wall so water never builds up against it. Then we finish it in stone and block that complements your home.
Will the work suit the character of an older home?
That is the point. We select paver colours, patterns and wall stone that complement brick and stone facades rather than clashing with them — renewal that respects the street.
