Masonry service
Steps, walkways and patios
Interlock, flagstone and precast steps set on a base that survives Ontario freeze-thaw.
The front steps are the first thing a visitor touches. We build them level, consistent in rise, and on a base deep enough that they are still level in ten winters. Same principle for walkways and patios — the base is the job.
What this covers
- Precast, natural stone and poured concrete steps
- Interlocking paver walkways and driveways
- Flagstone and natural stone patios
- Porch and landing rebuilds
- Polymeric sand jointing and sealing
- Lifting and relevelling of settled existing work
How we approach it
Excavate
Dig to proper depth for the application — deeper than most contractors quote for.
Compact
Granular base placed in lifts and plate-compacted, then screeded bedding sand.
Lay
Units set to pattern, cut cleanly at the edges, restrained on all open sides.
Seal
Polymeric sand swept and set, optional sealer applied once fully cured.
Steps, Walkways & Patios across Cambridge
We work in every Cambridge neighbourhood — Galt, Preston and Hespeler — as well as Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph and Brantford. Housing stock varies enormously between them, and so does the right approach: a 1890s Hespeler mill house and a 2015 Blair Road build need completely different mortar, detailing and expectations.
Reviews
Cambridge homeowners, in their own words
Every review below is from a real job in a real neighbourhood — most within ten minutes of each other.
“They installed a stone fireplace for us and the quality of the work was outstanding. The price was fair and they finished when they said they would. We have had three neighbours ask who did it.”
“The stone walkway was applied so evenly. You can tell the difference between someone who does this properly and someone who just lays stone. Excellent workmanship.”
“Very satisfied with the brick restoration. They matched our original brick better than I thought was possible and cleaned up the site every single day.”
“Detail oriented from start to finish. They repointed the front elevation and rebuilt the chimney, and left the job site cleaner than they found it.”
“Quality work, done right. Our front steps and porch have never looked better. Highly recommend to anyone in Cambridge.”
FAQ
Steps, Walkways & Patios — common questions
If the units are sound we can often lift, re-base and reset them for well under the cost of new. We will tell you which is the better value after seeing it.
Thirty years or more on a correct base. On a thin base, five. That difference is entirely in the part you never see.
No. Estimates are free, written, and come with photos of what we found. There is no obligation and we do not do high-pressure follow-up calls.
Yes — fully insured with WSIB coverage on every crew member. We will send you certificates before work starts, without being asked.
Small repairs can often be fit in within a week or two. Larger builds in peak season (May–September) typically book 3–6 weeks out. Chimney and water-related emergencies get prioritised.

Small repairs can often be fitted in within a week or two. Larger builds book three to six weeks out in summer, and water or safety problems jump the queue.
