Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are you Licensed and Insured?
A: Yes, we are bonded and insured with the city or Winnipeg and against any liabilities that may occur when excavating and constructing any project. We are licensed with the city of Winnipeg to do all driveway approach work required. We are also licensed stone installers with the Interlocking concrete paving institute (ICPI).
Q: Can you provide cost estimates over the phone or do we need to meet?
A: Yes, we can gain a pretty clear understanding over the phone what kind of cost a particular project may be, however each job is different with its own unique conditions and so an in-person meeting is necessary at the location of the project in order to provide the final quote.

Q: We really would like to do a new pool patio in our back yard this summer, but wondering how much of our pool time we would have to give up. How long would a job like that take to complete?
A: Great question! We always make sure minimal backyard time is lost for our customers. On average we are done within a week. Really large backyard projects can take longer of course. We are on site with a full crew starting at 7am every day to ensure no time is lost.
Q: If I invest in a paving stone driveway, how long will that last? Will I have to be getting repairs every few years?
A: With a good driveway, base installation, and a compaction test to prove it, you should not have to worry about anything for decades. If however, the driveway settles at garage doors or similar, our repair crew can easily and reset your pavers at minimal cost ($500-$900 depending on size of area).
