MC Installation Inc. provides expert interlocking driveway and landscape construction throughout Simcoe County, including Barrie, Innisfil, and Alliston. From base prep to final paver install, our driveway construction is built to withstand harsh climates and enhance long-term property value here in Simcoe County
When it’s time to build or replace a driveway, the surface material you choose will define both performance and curb appeal for years to come. While concrete, asphalt, and segmental pavers each have their place, the long-term impact on your property varies widely.

Risk:
• Cracking is inevitable in Ontario’s freeze-thaw cycles
• Repairs are often visible and patchy
• Stains and surface damage (e.g. salt scaling) are common
• Difficult and expensive to rework if layout or grading needs change
Reward:
• Clean, uniform appearance at first install
• Moderate upfront cost
• Suitable for tight budgets or builder-grade developments
Verdict:
While poured concrete can offer a clean look initially, it lacks flexibility and durability in our climate. Once it cracks or fails, replacement is often the only option.

Risk:
• Shorter lifespan (10–15 years)
• Fades, cracks, and deteriorates without frequent sealing
• Offers little design value or curb appeal
• Heats up in summer and may become soft under heavy vehicles
Reward:
• Lowest upfront cost
• Fast construction
• Can be re-coated to extend service life
Verdict:
Asphalt works for quick fixes or temporary driveways, but it often ends up as a stopgap — not a lasting solution for residential properties seeking visual and structural value.

Reward:
• Flexible design with endless patterns and colours
• Built-in resistance to cracking thanks to jointed system
• Easy access for future repairs, drainage, or utilities
• Adds curb appeal and resale value
• Long lifespan with proper base construction
Risk:
• Higher upfront cost than asphalt or poured concrete
• Requires skilled construction to ensure proper grading and compaction
Verdict:
Segmental pavers offer unmatched durability and flexibility, especially for homeowners investing in long-term property value. As driveways settle and shift over time, interlock can adapt — and individual stones can be lifted and reinstalled as needed. This makes interlocking driveways the smartest long-term investment for residential landscape construction.
