interlocking patios & walkways
from simple rectangular patios to multi-level outdoor living spaces with seating walls and integrated lighting. we work with you on layout, banding, and material before a single stone is set.
residential and light commercial hardscape. every project starts with proper excavation and a structured base — the part nobody sees, and the part that determines whether your patio is still flat in ten years.
from simple rectangular patios to multi-level outdoor living spaces with seating walls and integrated lighting. we work with you on layout, banding, and material before a single stone is set.
driveways are the most demanding paver application — heaviest loads, hardest freeze-thaw. we use thicker pavers, engineered bases, and edge restraints rated for vehicle traffic.
engineered segmental retaining wall systems for grade changes, slope stabilization, and tiered gardens. drainage, geogrid, and base detail done to spec — not eyeballed.
pre-cast slab steps and built-up paver risers for entryways, garden transitions, and pool access. designed to code, set to last.
fire pits, seating walls, planters, and pillar caps that turn a flat patio into a place you actually use after dinner.
settled pavers, heaved sections, failed bases. we lift, re-grade, re-set, and re-sand — extending the life of an existing install instead of tearing it out.
we work primarily with two manufacturers — chosen for product quality, colour stability, freeze-thaw performance, and the breadth of design options they make available. both are canadian.
manitoba-made pavers, slabs, and wall systems engineered for our climate. familiar product names you'll recognize from the catalogue — roman, holland, stackstone, rosetta, broadway, quarry stone, kodah wall, and the caliber retaining system.
premium architectural pavers and slabs with the refined finishes and design vocabulary that define high-end canadian hardscape. we install across their residential paver, slab, and wall lines.

“the base is the project.— blumstein crew principle
everything visible is just the part you finish last.”
a clean process keeps surprises out of the project. here's how a typical job moves from first call to the day we hand it back to you.
we come to you. walk the property, take measurements, talk through what you're after. no pressure, no charge.
layout, product selection, and a fixed, itemized written quote. you'll see exactly what's included — and what isn't.
excavate, base prep, edge restraint, install, polymeric sand. the work is sequenced and the site stays as clean as a site can be.
final inspection together. you sign off when you're satisfied — and we leave a written warranty on the workmanship.
blumstein paving inc. is a manitoba-based hardscape contractor. we're not a national franchise and we're not seasonal flippers — we're a small crew who do this work, year after year, in the climate it has to survive.
that climate is the whole game. manitoba pavers don't fail because of the surface — they fail because of what's underneath. we build like that's true, because it is.
proper excavation depth, compacted aggregate base, and edge restraint on every job — no shortcuts.
every grade decision is intentional. water moves where we want it to move.
icpi-trained installers and certified through barkman and techo-bloc's installer programs.
workmanship warranty on every install, plus the manufacturer's product warranty.
things people ask before booking. if yours isn't here, get in touch — we'd rather over-explain than under-explain.
a standard residential patio or front walkway is usually 3–5 working days from excavation to final polymeric sand. driveways and large multi-feature backyards run 1–3 weeks depending on scope. we give you a target window in the written quote.
we service all of manitoba and the whiteshell. cottage country projects are a regular part of our season — get in touch early since travel projects book out further ahead.
both. we can install from a landscape architect's drawings, or we can lay out the project with you on-site — walking the property, talking through material, layout, and how the finished space will live.
pavers move with the ground instead of cracking. individual units can be lifted and re-set if there's ever a settling issue. they don't seal in the way concrete does, and the colour is integral to the product so it doesn't fade. done properly, expect 25+ years of service.
walls over ~1.2 m (4 ft) typically require engineered drawings depending on the municipality. we'll flag this in the quote and coordinate with a structural engineer on anything above the threshold or anything holding back a load (driveway, structure, etc.).
earlier than you think. we typically book out 6–10 weeks ahead of work dates by mid-spring, and the whiteshell projects fill up first. if you're planning a 2026 install, reach out over the winter and we'll get you on the schedule.
free on-site consultations and itemized written quotes. we book up fast through the busy stretch — the earlier the conversation, the better the schedule.
