How Freeze-Thaw Cycles Affect Interlock Surfaces

Midtown Toronto's climate presents a unique challenge: freeze-thaw cycles. These cycles cause water beneath pavers to expand and contract, leading to:

• Heaving and Cracking: Improperly installed pavers can shift or break.

• Joint Sand Erosion: Freeze-thaw movement wears away inferior joint materials.

• Weed Growth: Open joints invite water—and weeds.

  
  

At Leveled Ground, we install deep, well-compacted bases and use high-quality polymeric sand to combat these issues. Our goal is to ensure your interlock surfaces survive harsh winters without a hitch.
