Jamie RamsayGrowing up, I remember joining my dad as he lay paving stones on our mini patio. I
even remember going to different stores every Saturday morning just to carefully select a new piece that would fit our patio’s style.
Since then, I’ve grown to have an appreciation for the craftsmanship and detailed paving work. Thanks to Vancouver’s best paving stone contractors, I don’t need to free up my weekends to do the hard work!
So if you’re also looking to upgrade your outdoor space, continue reading and make sure to have this list handy!
How much do paving stones cost in Vancouver?

Creative Bricks N Blocks has been delivering and installing paving stones, river rocks, pedestals, and porcelain tiles across Vancouver.
What we like most about them is that they have a detailed consultation process, allowing you to dive deeper on project requirements.
We loved that the team will even discuss the design, materials, and the project timeline before starting the project, ensuring that you and their team are on the same page.
We appreciated that they never miss this step just to make sure your design vision and budget are also aligned with the plan.
We’re also pleased to see how meticulous and careful their workers are. We loved that the paving stones installers made sure that they won’t damage the property, while keeping the site clean and tidy too.
However, we noticed that their rates are a bit on the premium side. If you’re working on a tight budget, it might be best to look for another service provider.
Additionally, since they’ve been known to cater to a large volume of clients, it may take quite some time to secure a booking, especially during summer. On a lighter note, we’re quite impressed that they’re flexible when it comes to scheduling.
You can even request for a pause, especially if you’re planning to go on a trip during the duration of the project.
Provides great design insights
“These guys were terrific. I went in with a general idea of what I wanted to do…they were able to help me decide exactly what product I needed and gave me some good advice as to how to move forward. Lots of experienced people there. And they saved me some money! Easy to give five stars.”

Consistent quotation
“I asked them to come on very short notice and Luis graciously fit me in. It was a small paving job but it was well done and very professional. They arrived on the date as planned, finished the job in the morning, cleaned up and the quote did not change. I would not hesitate to call this lovely company again. They are honest and hardworking.”
Karen Lam, Google Review

For over 18 years, Jose’s Green Stone Landscaping has been providing stone paving, garden design, lawn scaping, and fencing for both commercial and residential properties.
It’s worth noting, however, that if you’re planning for a large-scale project, you should get in touch with them at least three months before your starting date, especially during summer months.
What’s great about this company is that they offer a package that covers site maintenance as well. Even better, they can also adjust the package after a detailed consultation, allowing you to fully maximize what you pay for.
What we liked about their workers is that they work meticulously on the project site. We appreciated how they constantly check on their work, preventing them from redoing a spot.
It’s also great that these guys will make sure that they clean up before leaving the site. They also make sure that all their tools are kept in a safe place, perfect for homes with kids and pets around.
Another great thing about Jose’s Green Stone Landscaping is that they can easily be contacted after installation. Their post-installation service is quite impressive—they will even find time to schedule another visit just to fix the issue immediately.
Detailed and meticulous
“Jose was very detailed and meticulous with our fence panel replacement. There was great communication from the start and I appreciated the high quality craftsmanship and professionalism he brought to the job even though it was a small one. Will highly recommend him and his team.”

Durable materials
“Jose did an outstanding job transforming our front and backyard. He installed Allan blocks along the driveway, a paver walkway and entrance, levelled the backyard, raised garden beds, re-stained the fence and new sod. His years of experience, patience and attention to detail really shows through his work. Everything is level and straight and we can tell that it was all built to last. We have had so many compliments on his work from neighbours and other businesses in the related field and they even asked for his number to refer to their customers. Thanks Jose for all of your hard work, we love everything that you have done!”

What sets ROMEX Hardscapes apart is that they never skip site oculars before sending a quotation and a design proposal. We loved that the workers will come up with better solutions after every visit, ensuring that they’re inspecting the site well.
What we loved about this company is that they use materials that can withstand heavy traffic or even harsh weather conditions. We appreciate how the workers meticulously install each material, ensuring stability from the get-go.
Additionally, this company specializes in installing water-permeable stone pavements. It’s also great that they use materials than can stop weeds from growing in between spaces.
It’s worth noting, however, that since they use advanced installation methods and high-quality materials, their cost is a bit higher than usual. If you’re working on a budget, you might have to skip this company for now.
Additionally, this company may require a longer timeline because of their tedious installation process. Because of this, ROMEX Hardscapes may not be the best choice for those with tighter schedules.
We also commend the team for visiting the completed stone pavement project, double checking if you’re happy with the final result. And if you need to have some corners fixed, we love that the company will assign a worker to come back and fix it right away!
Great warranty coverage
“We are a high end landscape design + build company operating out of North Vancouver, BC. We use various Romex products on many of our installations and are very happy with the products! They enable us to provide better warranties on our work because their products are tried, tested and true. Better yet, they personally stand behind their products by providing our company with a warranty after installs are complete! I highly recommend homeowners and contractors to use their products.

High-quality materials
“I have been using products from Romex Canada for a couple years now and I’m extremely satisfied with this highest quality joint sand on the market. It’s also permeable, comes in different colours and it’s easy to apply. Customer service is top notch too. I had many questions at the beginning and everything was explained to me promptly. Romex offers many products and would highly recommend it to any landscaping company or general contractors who are building any kind of paved surfaces, walkways, patios etc. Thank you for your support!”
