Interlocking stone is one of the most popular and durable hardscaping upgrades available to Oshawa homeowners — and for good reason. From classic brick-pattern driveways in Lakeview and O’Neill to wide open patio layouts in the newer Kedron and Windfields developments, we design and install interlock that suits your home’s style and performs through the freeze-thaw cycles that wear down lesser installs. We use top-tier manufactured pavers and never cut corners on excavation depth, compaction, or joint sand — because beautiful interlock starts well below the surface.
Oshawa homeowners trust The Setting Stone Company for premium outdoor construction that holds up through every Ontario winter. Whether you’re upgrading a driveway in one of Oshawa’s established north-end neighbourhoods, adding an interlocking patio to a backyard in Samac or Windfields, or building a custom deck on a property near the waterfront, our team brings the craftsmanship and Durham Region experience to get it done right. We serve all of Oshawa — from the older downtown streets to the fast-growing communities in the north — with one goal: outdoor spaces that add real value to your home.
Natural flagstone brings a timeless, organic quality that stands apart from standard paving products — and it works beautifully across both Oshawa’s older, character-rich properties and newer builds looking for something distinctive. At The Setting Stone Company, we install custom flagstone patios, walkways, and garden paths using premium cut and irregular stone selected for durability in Ontario’s climate. Every project is built on a properly engineered base to handle frost movement and long-term load. If you want a backyard that feels designed rather than assembled, flagstone is the answer.
Your driveway takes more daily wear than any other surface on your Oshawa property — and in a city with mature trees and variable soil conditions across its many neighbourhoods, getting the base right is everything. We specialize in interlocking and paver driveways built to handle Oshawa’s winters, starting with proper excavation, a graded granular base, and geotextile fabric to prevent washout and settling. We also handle full tear-outs of old concrete and asphalt, and we work around tree roots and existing grade issues that cut-rate contractors typically ignore.
Oshawa’s varied topography — from the flat lakefront to the rolling terrain in the north end — means a lot of properties have slopes, drop-offs, or grade changes that could be better managed. Our retaining walls stabilize soil, eliminate erosion problems, and transform awkward yard terrain into functional, attractive outdoor space. We build with natural stone, manufactured retaining block, and wet-laid concrete depending on your site conditions and aesthetic. Every wall is engineered with proper drainage and batter angle so it holds firm across seasons without shifting or bowing.
A well-built deck expands what you can do with your home, and the right fence gives you the privacy to enjoy it without compromise. Our licensed carpenters design and build composite and pressure-treated wood decks across all of Oshawa — from compact elevated decks on older semi-detached lots to larger multi-level structures on newer properties in the north end. We handle municipal permit requirements and set every footing below frost depth for structural integrity that lasts. Paired with cedar, pressure-treated, or vinyl fencing, we create backyards that are as functional as they are good-looking.
Oshawa is Durham Region’s largest city, and its neighbourhoods run the full range — from the mature, tree-lined streets of Northwood and Donevan in the south to the newer family developments of Pinecrest and Kedron in the north end. Whatever part of Oshawa you’re in, we design and build hardscaping that improves your property’s curb appeal, extends your outdoor living space, and adds real, lasting value to your home.
An interlock driveway is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to an Oshawa home. We install with deep base excavation, full compaction, and proper grading — so your surface handles Oshawa's winters without cracking, shifting, or settling.
From flagstone entertaining areas to interlock pool surrounds, we build backyard patios throughout Oshawa that are designed for how you actually want to use your outdoor space, and built to last through Ontario's seasons.
We build wood and composite decks and privacy fences across Oshawa's residential neighbourhoods, with every project built to code and every footing set below the frost line for long-term structural stability.
For Oshawa properties dealing with grade changes, sloped yards, or erosion, we engineer and build retaining walls in interlocking block and natural stone that solve the problem structurally and enhance the look of your landscape.
Our process is designed to guide you smoothly from concept to completion. With structured steps, transparent communication, and expert coordination, we ensure your project moves forward efficiently and stress-free. Every phase is handled with care, precision, and a commitment to delivering exceptional results.
We've completed hundreds of hardscaping projects across Oshawa and the surrounding area. We understand the range of lot sizes, soil types, and grading challenges that Oshawa's diverse neighbourhoods present.
We hear from homeowners regularly who've had interlock or decks installed by other contractors that have already started failing. The difference almost always comes down to base preparation. We get it right the first time.
From a single front walkway to a complete backyard transformation covering a patio, retaining wall, deck, and fence — we handle the full scope so you're not coordinating multiple contractors for one project.

We visit your Oshawa property, assess the site, take measurements, and discuss your goals. You get a clear, honest quote — not a ballpark number that changes once work starts.
We walk you through your options for stone type, colour, pattern, and layout so your finished project looks intentional and complements your home's exterior.
Our crew handles the full build from excavation to final cleanup. We protect your property throughout, work efficiently to minimize disruption, and leave the site clean before your final walkthrough.
We believe in complete transparency from day one. Find answers to the most common questions homeowners ask before starting an interlocking, deck, or patio transformation.
Yes — we work throughout Oshawa, from South Oshawa near the lake to North Oshawa developments like Kedron and Pinecrest. Wherever you are in the city, we can come to you.
Absolutely. We regularly take on full property transformations that include a driveway, backyard patio, retaining walls, and a deck all in one project. Having one contractor handle everything ensures the design is cohesive and the scheduling is coordinated.
Our schedule fills up quickly in spring and summer. We recommend reaching out in late winter or early spring to secure your preferred start date. Winter consultations are always welcome — it's a great time to plan so you're ready to go when the season opens.
We advise on permit requirements and can help facilitate the process. Decks above a certain size and height in Oshawa require a building permit from the City. We'll walk you through what's needed before any work begins.
If your project covers more than this, we can help with these too.
