Get Inspired with Great Front Entrance Interlock Ideas

What makes for great front entrance interlocking? You need to combine the right stone and pattern for your entryway to make a truly eye-catching statement. Although with so many interlocking and pattern options to choose from, making the right decision for your home can seem a little daunting.

To help you narrow down your choices, we’ve collected some examples of our most beautiful interlocking projects to inspire you and would be happy to chat with you further about customizing one of these ideas, or a combination, to suit your needs.

Combining Natural Stone to Create a Sleek Appearance

We laid the interlocking on this front entryway in a simple pattern, so it blends well with the natural stone steps and siding on this lovely home. We chose blueish grey interlocking to work with the slate-like tops of the stairs, giving it a clean, elegant look.

Use Large and Small Pavers for a Unique Look

Your interlocking pavers don’t all have to be the same size. In fact, by pairing a larger and smaller stone of the same colour and texture, you can add dynamic appeal to an otherwise plain front yard.

The interlocking above boosts the beauty of the low maintenance landscaping, so this homeowner has a beautiful entryway they don’t have to weed.

Try Edging the Driveway with Interlocking

Not ready to commit your whole driveway to interlocking, but still want to add a high-class feel to your home’s exterior? No problem. You can simply edge the driveway and sidewalk with the same interlocking you’re using for the front steps, which helps to tie the entire look together.

Consider the Benefits of Herringbone

If you’re searching for a unique pattern that will help your entrance stand out, herringbone may be right option for you. This pattern looks sharp and withstands the pressure from vehicles better than other patterns, so it will also last longer.

Though the front entrance above has herringbone laid out vertically, you can lay this pattern in different directions, including on an angle to the right or left as well as horizontally.

Utilize Dynamic Shapes

Have an unusually shaped front yard? Or are you looking to lay interlocking in a unique shape to make a statement or work with landscaping? Our experts can help you lay interlocking in curves, circles, and much more to create fun patterns that really stand out and differentiate you from the neighbors.

Consider adding an edge stone to show off the shape of your curved interlocking even more, as we did in the yard above.

What is an interlocking concrete paver?

Interlocking concrete pavers for driveways are special.

These durable stone products became the most popular material for attractive and long lasting driveway designs over the last 30 years.

Why?

Well, because they’re durable and attractive. What else do you really need?

Even though you don’t need it, you get much more with interlocking concrete pavers for driveways.

Durability with the warranty to back it up.

Interlocking concrete pavers are often stronger than a poured concrete driveway.

When a product like this includes a lifetime warranty, it means the manufacturer expects it to last.

Replacing products due to warranty issues costs manufacturers money. They don’t want to waste a single dollar, so it’s in their interest NOT to offer warranties longer than the expected shelf life of the product.

If your interlocking concrete pavers carry a lifetime warranty, you can be almost certain they’ll last forever.

Variety for your unique design.

The variety of shapes and colours available to your designer provides endless design options.

Your interlocking driveway will look totally unique, unlike your neighbour’s asphalt or poured concrete driveway.

Brick pavers give a different look, with less variety and a shorter lifespan (interlock driveways last anywhere from 30-50 years, while brick might last 30 at the longest).

Installation is fast and any repairs are simple.

Interlocking design allows quick and easy installation. Your driveway install won’t take any longer than a poured driveway. In fact- poured products require several days to cure before you can use them. Interlocking concrete pavers are ready to use as soon as the driveway is laid out.

If something happens to chip one of your interlocking pavers, replacing a single piece is far easier than the labour involved in repairing a poured driveway.

Maintenance is simple.

• Sweep up leaves, if you don’t want leaves laying on the driveway.
• Rinse them with the hose if you notice a buildup of dirt anywhere.

That’s it. There really isn’t a lot of work to do with your interlocking concrete pavers.

Small gaps between the pavers sometimes allow weeds to grow. It’s a lot of work for them, so the weeds take a long time to break through. You can just pull them by hand. It’ll take a long time for them to grow back (plus, we put down base materials to discourage any sort of growth under your interlocking concrete pavers.

We install your interlocking concrete paver driveway over a compacted base with professional edging and drainage accounted for. We do it right the first time so you get everything you paid for with as little disruption to your daily life as possible.

If you like the idea of a low maintenance, long-lasting-eye-catching driveway that makes your home more unique and appealing to potential buyers down the road, give us a call to talk about your design style today.
