ðŽ Thinking About Interlocking or Landscaping? TARCAN Has the Answers! | FAQ for GTA Homeowners
So you're planning to upgrade your outdoor space â maybe you've got your eye on a beautiful interlocking stone driveway, a stunning new patio, or a complete landscape transformation. But before starting your project, you've probably got questions â lots of them.
At TARCAN International, we've helped hundreds of homeowners in Markham, Stouffville, Toronto, and the GTA make the leap from "thinking about it" to "loving it." We're not just installers â we're outdoor space problem-solvers.
Here's a roundup of the most common questions we hear â and the answers that show why TARCAN is the go-to landscaping and interlock expert in the region.
â FAQ: Homeowners Ask â TARCAN Answers
ð§ą 1. What is interlocking stone and why is it a good choice?
Answer: Interlocking stone is a system of paving stones installed without mortar, offering incredible strength, drainage, and design flexibility. It's durable, weather-resistant, and adds serious curb appeal. Plus, it's easy to repair â you can replace one stone instead of redoing the entire surface.
ðĄ Perfect for driveways, patios, walkways, and pool surrounds.
ðĄ 2. Can you help us design our landscape? Or do we need to hire a designer separately?
Answer: No need for a separate designer! At TARCAN, our experienced team offers full design-to-build services. We work with you to create a functional, beautiful layout that reflects your style and works for your property â all in-house.
âïļ You bring the vision â we handle the drawings, layout, and execution.
âģ 3. How long does an interlocking or landscape project usually take?
Answer: Depending on the size and complexity, projects can range from a few days to a few weeks. A typical driveway extension or front walkway might take 3â5 days, while a full backyard landscape might take 1â2 weeks. We always provide clear timelines and stick to them.
ð ïļ Our team is efficient, organized, and respects your schedule and property.
ðļ 4. How much does a project like this cost?
Answer: It varies based on project size, material choices, and design complexity. But don't worry â we offer competitive pricing with free, no-obligation consultations and quotes. TARCAN ensures value without cutting corners.
ð We believe in transparency. No surprises, no pressure.
ð§ïļ 5. Will the interlock shift or sink over time?
Answer: Not if it's installed properly â and that's what we specialize in. At TARCAN, we use industry-best base preparation and compaction techniques to ensure your interlock stays level, drains well, and lasts for decades.
ð§ Poor base = shifting stones. We never cut corners on prep work.
ð 6. I have a narrow driveway â can I extend it legally?
Answer: Yes! We're experienced in driveway extensions and know the local bylaws in Markham, Stouffville, and across the GTA. We'll handle everything from designing within your zoning limits to suggesting aesthetically pleasing layouts that don't just work â they wow.
â Form, function, and full bylaw compliance â it's what we do.
ðŠī 7. What other landscaping services do you offer?
