Masonry
Hardscaping Built for Toronto's Freeze-Thaw Seasons
Masonry around a house takes a beating in Toronto. Water gets under pavers and slabs, freezes and lifts them, then spring melt softens the ground and lets them settle unevenly. Road salt eats into concrete and mortar near the street. Toronto Roofing & Masonry builds and rebuilds patios, driveways, interlocking pavers, steps and stoops with that cycle in mind, starting with the base beneath the surface rather than the surface alone.
Each type of work has its own page below, so you can read about the job you have in mind. Because we also handle roofing and foundations, we can look at how water from your roof and downspouts reaches the ground, which often explains why a patio sinks or a driveway heaves near the house. For brickwork at roof level, see our chimney repairs page. Every job starts with an estimate before any work begins.

Why choose us
How We Approach Masonry Projects
The Base Comes First
Most sunken or heaving hardscaping fails below the surface. We check the base and drainage before proposing a fix, so the repair deals with the cause.
Roof Water Traced to the Ground
Water from your roof and downspouts often decides how a patio or driveway behaves. With roofing, foundations and masonry under one contractor, we can follow it from the roof edge to the ground.
Materials Explained for Your Property
We explain the paver, stone and concrete options that suit your home, its style and the way you use the space.
An Estimate Before Work Starts
You receive an estimate setting out the scope before anything is dug up, so you know what the job involves from the outset.

What Affects the Cost of Masonry Work in Toronto
The cost of a masonry project depends mainly on these factors:
- The size of the area and the shape of the layout.

- Removal and disposal of the existing surface.
- Access to the work area and any drainage that needs adding.

How a Masonry Project Runs from Estimate to Finish
The main stages of the job, from the first look to the final check.
Site Assessment
We look at the existing surface, the soil, the slope and where water collects, and discuss how you want to use the space.
Estimate and Layout
You receive an estimate with the layout, materials and base depth set out before any work starts.
Excavation and Base
We dig out to the depth required, lay and compact the base in layers, and set the grade so water drains away.
Laying and Final Review
The surface is laid and finished, the area is cleaned up, and we review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.
