Pavers, stone steps

A clear path to the door

Interlocking paving and broad stone steps shape the front entrance.

The darker border keeps the walk crisp against the lawn, and planting softens both sides of it.

Cedar, black metal

From the deck to the lawn

Broad cedar steps and a slim black railing connect the deck to the yard.

The steps span the width of the seating area above them, and a flagstone landing meets them at the lawn.

Cedar, pale stone

A connected backyard

Cedar decking steps down to a stone patio and a garden beyond.

The back door, the table and the garden work as one space, and a slim black railing keeps the view from the deck open.

Stone beneath the table

A pale stone patio with a charcoal border and a green garden edge.

The slabs run from the back steps to the dining table, and planted beds soften the line where the patio meets the garden.

Cedar, stone terrace

An open frame for the garden

A cedar pergola frames a sitting area, with a slatted screen for privacy.

Open rafters let the light through, and the screen shelters the back of the terrace, so the seating stays part of the garden.

Cedar, shingles

Room under the roof

A cedar pavilion makes space for dining outside, under a timber roof.

The shingled gable rests on heavy timber posts, set on stone paving among the planting.

Interlocking driveways in Newmarket

Front yards set the layout here. In the neighbourhoods built at Newmarket's edge after the 1990s, which the Official Plan calls Contemporary Suburban, lots are small to moderate rectangles and pie shapes with shallow to moderate front yards. The driveway, the walkway and any front step share that depth, so we draw them as one plan, with the border bands and the pattern tying them together. A driveway is the hardest-working interlock on the lot, so it gets the deepest base, and it also takes most of the front yard. Zoning can cap its width and the curb belongs to the Town of Newmarket, so both are confirmed before the plan is fixed.

The base under the stones: till, frost and drainage

Newmarket is built on deep glacial deposits, Newmarket Till, with no rock showing anywhere in town. Digging out for a base is straightforward, and the soil left underneath freezes and thaws every winter. The crushed stone base stands between that soil and the pavers: placed in layers, compacted, and graded so meltwater runs off and away from the house.

Re-levelling sunken interlock instead of replacing it

In Newmarket a low spot usually shows itself after the thaw, when ground that froze under the paving all winter settles back unevenly. Because the stones come out whole, the fix can stay local once we know why water collected there: a downspout led across the drive, an edge that let go. We suggest a full rebuild only when the whole surface has dropped.
