Patios, retaining walls, concrete and landscaping from Shanty Bay to Horseshoe Valley — plus snow and ice service for the parts of the township closest to Barrie.
Local knowledge
Hills, shoreline and long driveways.
Oro-Medonte covers a lot of different ground: Lake Simcoe shoreline at Shanty Bay and Hawkestone, the hills and ski country around Horseshoe Valley, and rural and estate properties in between around Oro Station, Craighurst and Moonstone.
That variety shows up in the work. Sloped lots often need retaining walls and terraces to create usable space. Shoreline and cottage properties need careful drainage. Rural properties have long driveways and big stretches of lawn and gardens. We plan each job around the site, then build the base and drainage to match.

What goes underneath.
Sloped and shoreline lots are hard on stonework. This layered base is what keeps it flat and draining.
- 01Polymeric sand
Swept into the joints and set with water. Locks the pavers together and keeps weeds and ants out.
- 02Pavers
The surface you see. Material, colour and pattern are chosen with you at the design stage.
- 03Bedding layer
Screeded flat by hand so every paver sits at the right height — no dips, no wobbly stones.
- 04Compacted granular base
Crushed stone placed and compacted in lifts. This carries the load and is what keeps a patio flat through freeze–thaw.
- 05Geotextile fabric
Separates the base from the soil so the two don’t mix — the hidden reason older patios sink.
- 06Compacted subgrade
Native ground dug to depth, compacted, and graded so water runs away from the house.
