About UltraScape
Drainage plays a major role in how a patio performs through Whitby’s changing seasons. Poor grading can leave water pooling on the surface, while freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to shifting, cracking, and settlement. Proper planning helps address these risks before installation begins.
Since 1999, UltraScape has designed and installed patios across Whitby, bringing more than 25 years of hands-on experience to each project. Every installation starts with a site assessment to evaluate grading, drainage, existing surfaces, and ground conditions.
Every project includes a 3-year workmanship warranty and lifetime material coverage, with details confirmed in writing. UltraScape serves homeowners and businesses with patio solutions planned around the property’s layout, intended use, and local site conditions.
UltraScape provides patio installation services for different outdoor spaces across Whitby, from compact seating areas to larger backyard projects. Each option is planned around the property’s layout, drainage, intended use, and the material selected.
Interlock patios offer a durable option for Whitby backyards, walkways, and outdoor seating areas. Pavers are installed over a properly prepared and compacted base to support everyday foot traffic, manage drainage, and accommodate seasonal ground movement.
Granite, limestone, and sandstone provide distinct textures, colours, and finishes for outdoor spaces. Each stone is positioned carefully to create a stable, level surface that complements the property’s landscaping and overall design.
Flagstone creates a more natural appearance with irregular shapes and organic edges. Individual pieces can be arranged around gardens, planting areas, and existing landscape features to create a patio that fits naturally into the surrounding yard.
Concrete patios provide a practical option for straightforward layouts and larger outdoor areas. Proper grading, reinforcement, finishing, and control joints help create a functional surface designed for regular use and seasonal conditions.
Sunken, shifted, or uneven interlock does not always require a complete replacement. UltraScape can lift affected pavers, correct the underlying base, and reset the surface to restore proper levels, drainage, and usability.
Spring patio projects can fill schedules quickly once outdoor work gets underway. UltraScape helps homeowners and businesses plan early, with patio installation focused on proper preparation, drainage, and materials suited to Whitby conditions. Start with a free, no-obligation consultation for your project.

01
We visit your Whitby property to review the existing surface, grading, drainage, soil conditions, and available space. This helps identify site-specific factors before the patio design and construction plan are finalized.
02
Discuss patio materials, layout options, and the intended use of the space. You receive a detailed written estimate based on your property and project requirements before construction begins, with the scope clearly outlined.
03
The installation area is excavated, graded, and properly compacted before pavers, stone, or concrete are installed. Careful base preparation supports surface stability, drainage, and long-term performance through Whitby’s seasonal ground movement.
04
After construction, we walk through the completed patio with you and address questions about the finished work. Every project includes a 3-year workmanship warranty and lifetime material coverage, with coverage details confirmed in writing.
The right patio material depends on how you plan to use the space, the look you want, and the property’s existing landscape. Granite and limestone offer a durable, refined finish, while sandstone brings warmer tones suited to relaxed backyard settings.
Flagstone and armour stone work well in naturalized landscapes where irregular shapes and organic edges complement surrounding gardens. Interlock pavers, including options from Unilock, provide a wide selection of patterns, colours, and layouts for contemporary outdoor spaces.
Regardless of the material, proper base preparation remains important for Whitby’s seasonal conditions. A compacted aggregate base supports stability and drainage, while polymeric sand helps secure interlock joints and reduce weed growth between pavers.

The Whitby Green Standard is currently at Version 2 and is designed to encourage sustainable practices in new development. The program is voluntary and incentive-based, so it should not automatically be treated as a requirement for a typical backyard patio project.
Patio projects still need to follow applicable Whitby zoning, drainage, grading, and building requirements. Zoning By-law 1784 includes rules affecting patios, including setbacks from street lines and driveways. The Town also requires property owners to prevent grading changes from causing ponding or directing water onto neighbouring properties.
Permit requirements depend on the specific project and property. The Town advises property owners to review applicable zoning and building requirements before starting work, particularly for projects involving raised structures, grading changes, or other site alterations. UltraScape reviews the relevant site conditions and requirements before patio construction begins.
Whitby properties can have different grading, drainage, soil, and landscape conditions. Our team reviews these factors before work begins, using more than 25 years of hands-on patio experience to plan the excavation and base preparation around the actual site.
Every patio project includes a 3-year workmanship warranty and lifetime material coverage. Coverage details are confirmed in writing before work begins, giving you clear information about what is included with your project.
Patio projects can involve zoning, drainage, setback, or permit considerations depending on the property and scope. UltraScape reviews the applicable requirements during planning instead of assuming that a particular rule or program applies.
UltraScape keeps patio work in-house rather than passing the project between outside subcontractors. The same team remains responsible for the work from excavation and base preparation through installation and final finishing, keeping accountability clear throughout the project.
UltraScape serves homeowners across Whitby, from Brooklin and Ashburn to Port Whitby and established residential areas. Patio projects are planned around each property’s layout, drainage, landscape, and intended use.
A patio that holds water, shifts after winter, or needs changes because of planning issues can become more difficult to fix later. UltraScape manages the project from site assessment through construction and finishing, keeping the work coordinated from start to finish. Looking for a patio contractor near me in Whitby?

Whitby’s story began long before it became part of the Greater Toronto Area. In the 19th century, its harbour and railway connections helped make the town an important transportation centre, including the Whitby-Port Perry Railway, which began operating in 1869.
Whitby also has a less conventional side to its history. William Lyon Mackenzie held political meetings in the town square before the 1837 Rebellion, with the location later becoming known locally as “Radical Corners.” Brooklin, now part of Whitby, has its own heritage character and a designated Heritage Conservation District.
UltraScape works across Whitby properties ranging from established homes with older landscape features to newer developments designed for modern living. Patio projects are planned around the property’s layout, existing conditions, and intended use.
Patio costs in Whitby 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. Granite and limestone offer strong durability, flagstone and armour stone suit naturalized gardens, and concrete stays the practical choice for straightforward layouts.
Not in most cases. The Green Standard is a real Town program, but it’s voluntary and mainly aimed at new development, not basic backyard patio projects. What typically applies instead are standard zoning by-laws and permit thresholds, which we check for every property.
A patio built directly at grade usually doesn’t need a permit. A raised patio or deck generally does once it exceeds 0.6 metres above grade, attaches to the house, or covers more than 100 square feet.
Standing water usually means the surface no longer slopes properly toward an exit point. We regrade the area so water moves away from the house instead of collecting where it can damage the base underneath.
Yes. We lift and reset shifted or sunken sections, correct the base underneath that caused the problem, and restore faded or stained stone through professional sealing. Repair work gets the same careful attention as a brand new installation.
A property with significant slope or elevation change may need a retaining wall to create a stable, level base for the patio. Ontario generally requires engineering for any retaining wall over 1.0 metre in exposed height.
Most residential patio projects in Whitby take one to two weeks to complete, depending on size, material choice, and site conditions involved. Larger or more complex projects, including those requiring permit review, can take longer to finish properly.
Yes. We design and build patios for commercial properties across Whitby, including offices and multi-unit buildings, built for heavier daily foot traffic. Zoning and drainage compliance are handled as part of the commercial planning process.
