When shopping for a new paving stone driveway consider the expertise of a custom landscaping company; Landscaping companies have expertise that go beyond just paving. 70-80% of your landscaping is not paving stone. So neglecting the design elements of the landscaping around the paved areas can be a costly mistake. Elevations, drainage, base prep and jointing sand are all key components to get the most out of your investment. All of our driveways come standard with rain drains, permeable base preparation, and polymeric jointing sand. We primarily use Barkman paving stone for our patios, walkways and driveways.Water and time is your driveways worst enemy. Therefore paving stone driveways should be prepped in layers of permeable limestone with enough depth to accommodate vehicle weight. Especially near the garage pad. Correct slopes and rain drains need to carry water away from down spouts. Polymeric sand helps prevent base erosion and weed growth. If installed properly all these features will extend your investment by years beyond any driveway built without.

A trend that is happening in the Winnipeg landscape market is outdoor kitchens. More Manitobans are developing their outdoor living spaces to include outdoor kitchens. The outdoor kitchen is a handy feature that saves you time when entertaining guests. Spend less time running in and out of the house, so you can enjoy spending time with your guests.

The sound of a trickling waterfall in the corner of your yard with a stone retaining wall bench for quiet mediation sounds picture perfect. However, water is one of the hardest elements to control therefore any water feature will require maintenance. Because of our extreme climate, the ground in Manitoba is constantly moving with the freeze-thaw conditions. Settling will occur after a couple of years.Pumps need to be removed seasonally and without a filter pond water requires salt or chlorine treatment to prevent algae build up. If you are not prepared for these things a self contained water fountain may be a better alternative.
