Paving stones are only as strong as the base beneath them. Artisan Contracting installs a wide variety of paving stones with a focus on proper excavation, base preparation, and drainage — keeping surfaces even, stable, and visually consistent through years of rain, soil movement, and seasonal freeze-thaw.

With over 25 years of hardscaping experience and our own gravel and base material supply, Artisan Contracting builds paving stone installations — excavation, compaction, reinforced base, and drainage slope calibration — that keep your surface stable, level, and free of shifting or pooling water for years to come.

As part of the Artisan Garden Group, we handle everything from site evaluation to materials recommendations to installation and finishing, so you get a hardscape built to last and confidence in your investment.  

Artisan Contracting is a division of the Artisan Garden Group, and we’ve been designing and installing outdoor living spaces throughout the Lower Mainland for over 25 years. Paving stone installation has always been a core part of that work — every driveway, patio, and walkway we build starts with proper excavation and base preparation, because a paved surface is only as strong as what’s underneath it.

Our paving stone work covers everything from excavation and reinforced base compaction to drainage slope calibration, edge restraint installation, and precision leveling for consistent surface joints. We install driveways, walkways, patios, pool decks, and garden borders and steps, using materials suited to Metro Vancouver’s climate — with our own gravel and base material supplied and delivered as part of the job.

Paver installation is a lasting upgrade when it’s engineered right — a stable, reinforced base means your driveway, patio, or walkway stays level and functional for years, not just on installation day. Done well, it also adds real value to your property, from improved curb appeal to a low-maintenance outdoor space, with these benefits standing out:
• A durable surface that resists shifting, sinking, and cracking
• Proper drainage slope that keeps water moving instead of pooling
• Consistent, uniform joints and alignment across the whole surface
• Increased property value and curb appeal
• Low long-term maintenance compared to poured concrete or asphalt
