About UltraScape
Many North York homes in neighbourhoods like Willowdale and Bathurst Manor still have the original concrete patio poured decades ago, now cracked and sinking after years of Ontario winters. Properties in Bridle Path face a different problem entirely: outdated stonework that no longer matches an estate-scale home’s actual value. Either way, a failing patio holds a property back more than most owners realize.
UltraScape treats patio work as its own discipline, not one line item among a dozen services. A crew that knows the difference between a driveway base and a patio base catches details a general landscaping team often misses.
Every project starts with a real site assessment, checking soil, drainage, and grading before recommending interlock, natural stone, flagstone, or concrete. All work carries a 3-year workmanship warranty and lifetime material coverage, confirmed clearly in writing.
An interlock patio remains one of the most requested options for North York backyards, and for good reason given the wide range of patterns and colours available today. Every paver gets set on a properly compacted base, built to handle foot traffic and seasonal ground movement without shifting or settling over time.
Granite, limestone, and sandstone each bring a different look and level of durability to a patio, giving homeowners real choice beyond just colour and overall price point. Our crew sets stone by hand, working around each piece’s natural shape while keeping the finished surface level and stable for years to come.
Flagstone offers a rustic, irregular-edged look that suits gardens and naturalized backyards particularly well, especially on properties with mature landscaping already well established over time. Every piece gets set individually, so no two flagstone patios end up looking quite the same from one property to the next.
Concrete remains a practical, lower-cost option for straightforward layouts, especially on larger surface areas where overall project budget matters most to homeowners. We pour and finish every slab with proper reinforcement and control joints to reduce the cracking plain concrete is generally known for over time.
A sunken, cracked, or shifted patio rarely fixes itself, no matter how long a homeowner waits it out and hopes for a genuinely better outcome. UltraScape lifts and resets affected areas, corrects the base underneath that caused the problem, and restores the surface instead of just patching what’s visible on top.
Patio crews across North York fill their spring calendar fast, and waiting even a few weeks can push your project into summer or later. UltraScape is already scheduling site visits for the upcoming season. Lock in your free quote now, before the calendar fills without you.
01
Our team visits your North York property in person and checks the soil, drainage, and existing surface closely before proposing anything specific to you at all. Properties near mature trees sometimes need a different approach than open, newly landscaped lots.
02
You receive material and layout options, along with a full written estimate based on your actual property, not a generic template used elsewhere. Nothing changes once construction starts, so there are never any surprises added to your final bill later on.
03
Our crew excavates to a depth suited to the specific project at hand, then compacts the base thoroughly before a single paver or stone ever goes down onto the site. This step decides whether your patio actually holds up over time and through the seasons.
04
We walk the finished patio with you in person and answer every single question you may have before calling the job fully complete. Every project carries a 3-year workmanship warranty and lifetime material coverage, confirmed clearly in writing for you.

North York patios get built from interlock, natural stone, flagstone, or concrete, each suited to a different budget and style. Granite and limestone bring genuine durability and a refined look, while sandstone offers a warmer, softer tone for a more relaxed backyard feel.
Flagstone works well for gardens and naturalized spaces where a rustic, irregular edge fits the surroundings better than a uniform pattern. Concrete stays the practical, lower-cost choice for straightforward layouts, poured with proper reinforcement to resist cracking.
Every material still sits on a properly compacted aggregate base built for the seasonal ground movement Ontario winters bring. Every joint gets sealed with polymeric sand to stop weed growth and keep the surface locked in place.
Business Hours
Toronto’s Private Tree Protection By-law applies to any tree with a trunk diameter of 30 centimetres or more, measured at 1.4 metres above ground. A patio project that involves excavating near a qualifying tree’s roots, or removing one entirely, can require a permit before work begins, something worth checking before a design gets finalized, not after.
Beyond tree protection, proper grading is the single biggest factor in how long a patio actually lasts. Water needs a clear path away from the house and any neighbouring structures, not just a level-looking surface. This is general best practice rather than a specific bylaw, but it matters just as much as anything written into code.
We check both of these details early for every North York project. Requirements vary by property, so confirming the specifics before finalizing a design avoids costly changes later.
Ontario’s freeze-thaw cycle punishes any patio that wasn’t built on a properly compacted base. Water gets underneath, freezes, expands, and pushes the surface apart from below.
Pooling water means the surface no longer directs runoff to a proper exit point. Regrading usually solves what surface sealing alone cannot fix.
A patio that sinks unevenly almost always points to inconsistent base preparation underneath. Rebuilding from the base up fixes the problem instead of patching the visible surface.
Weeds pushing up between pavers usually mean the polymeric sand has failed or was never applied correctly. Resealing every joint stops growth and keeps the surface locked together.
Sun, salt, and North York’s weather leave concrete and stone looking dull over time. Sealing restores colour and adds real protection against future staining.
A patio built years ago near a tree that has since grown into a protected size can complicate future work nearby. Checking a tree’s current status before planning a redesign avoids an unwelcome surprise partway through.
North York spans everything from multi-acre estate lots to modest family backyards, and each needs a genuinely different approach to design and base work. Twenty-five years of hands-on experience across that range means fewer guesses on any given property.
Every patio project carries a full 3-year workmanship warranty and lifetime material coverage, put in writing clearly before any work ever begins at all. Anything that shifts or settles because of the installation gets corrected at no additional cost.
Tree protection status and proper grading can affect a North York patio project in ways that aren’t always obvious to most homeowners upfront. These details get flagged early, so the design works with the property’s real constraints from the very start.
A detailed written estimate covers materials, labour, and site prep costs before any work ever begins on the property itself, without any exception. Nothing about a patio project should feel like a mystery, and real effort goes into keeping it that way.
Patio work needs the right equipment and proper base-preparation training, not just a general willingness to dig and start working right away. Every crew member arrives prepared with a clear plan for the day, not figuring things out once already on site.
The same people who excavate a project are the ones who finish it, from the very first day on site to the very last day of the job. Everything stays in-house rather than outsourced, so someone accountable always knows the property and plan.
A cracking patio, pooling water, or a surface that’s slowly sinking only gets worse with time. UltraScape handles every part of the job, from the first site visit to final sealing, so you deal with one crew instead of three. Searching for a patio contractor near me in North York? We’re just a call away. Book your free quote before the next season hits.
Most homeowners want a patio that looks sharp and holds up through years of regular use, whether that’s a quiet corner in Bathurst Manor or a larger entertaining space in Willowdale. Residential projects get planned around how a family actually uses the outdoor space.
Commercial properties across North York, including offices and multi-unit buildings, often need patios built for heavier daily traffic and larger surface areas. Drainage and load requirements are handled as part of the commercial-scale planning process.
Residential or commercial, every patio project gets the same 3-year workmanship warranty and lifetime material coverage. UltraScape is a trusted choice for properties across North York.
UltraScape provides patio installation across North York, from established neighbourhoods like Willowdale and Bathurst Manor to estate properties in Bridle Path and Hoggs Hollow. Every project gets the same dependable service, no matter which part of the city a property sits in.
North York existed as its own city until 1998, when it was amalgamated into what’s now the City of Toronto, alongside East York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, and York. That independent history still shapes how the area feels today.
A dense civic centre around Mel Lastman Square functions almost like a downtown of its own, with high-rises, transit, and offices lining Yonge Street. Move a few blocks in most directions, and the character shifts into quiet, tree-lined residential streets.
UltraScape works across both sides of that contrast, dense properties near the civic centre and quieter homes throughout the rest of North York. A patio project looks different depending on which side of that line a property sits on.
Patio costs in North York vary by size, material, site access, and how much excavation and drainage work the project needs. Natural stone generally costs more than concrete, and simple layouts cost less than custom designs. A site visit gives an accurate, detailed written estimate specific to your property.
Interlock, natural stone, flagstone, and concrete are the most common options, each suited to a different budget and style for the property in question. Granite and limestone offer strong durability, flagstone suits naturalized gardens, and concrete stays the practical choice for straightforward layouts.
Yes. Flagstone offers a rustic, irregular-edged look well suited to gardens and naturalized backyards throughout North York and the wider GTA region. Each piece gets set individually by hand, so the finished surface has genuine character rather than a uniform, repeated pattern across the whole area.
It can. Toronto’s Private Tree Protection By-law applies to trees with a trunk diameter of 30 centimetres or more, measured at 1.4 metres above ground level on the property itself. We check this early for any project involving excavation near a qualifying tree’s root zone before work ever begins on site.
Proper grading directs water away from the house and any neighbouring structures instead of letting it pool near the foundation walls over the years. Poor drainage saturates the base underneath a patio, contributing to freeze-thaw damage and significantly shortening its overall lifespan year after year.
Yes. We lift and reset shifted or sunken sections, correct the base underneath that caused the original problem in the very first place, and restore faded or stained stone through careful, professional sealing work. Repair work gets the same careful base attention as a brand new installation would receive.
Cracking or sinking almost always traces back to a base that was not properly compacted during the original installation process itself, right from day one. We rebuild with a correctly compacted base rather than simply patching or relaying the visible surface on top of the very same underlying problem.
A property with significant slope or elevation change may need a retaining wall to create a stable, level base for the finished patio surface underneath. Ontario generally requires engineering for any retaining wall over 1.0 metre in exposed height, which we assess as part of the full design process.
Most residential patio projects in North York take one to two weeks to complete fully from start to finish, depending on size, material choice, and overall site conditions involved. Larger or more complex projects, including those requiring tree or drainage review, can take longer to finish properly.
Yes. We design and build patios for commercial properties across North York, including offices and multi-unit buildings, built specifically for heavier daily foot traffic throughout the entire week. Drainage and load requirements get handled as part of the commercial planning process from the start.
Every UltraScape patio project includes a full 3-year workmanship warranty and a genuine lifetime warranty on materials, both confirmed clearly in writing before any work ever starts on the property. Anything that shifts or settles because of the installation gets corrected at no additional cost to you.
Look for a contractor who treats patios as their own specialty, not one line item among many other services offered elsewhere. Ask about their process for base preparation and drainage handling. UltraScape has served North York and the GTA since 1999, with a 4.9 rating on Google and 5 out of 5 on HomeStars.
