A patio is where Ottawa summers actually happen — dinners outside, fire bowls in September. We build them on the same engineered base as our driveways, so the surface you love in July still looks level the following May.
A patio with a hot tub, an outdoor kitchen or a crowd of guests carries serious weight. Yet most Ottawa patios are built on 4-6 inches of stone — fine for a garden path, not for a structure you entertain on. Two winters later the corners dip, the fire feature leans, and water runs toward the foundation instead of away from it.
EcoWave patios go 10 inches down with the same compacted-lift method we use on driveways. We pitch a quiet 2% away from the house, set every edge in concrete or aluminum restraint, and lock joints with polymeric sand. The result is a patio that drains properly, stays level, and shrugs off frost.
Dining and lounge zones sized to how you actually use the yard — with room for the table, the grill and the people.
Raised dining terraces, sunken fire lounges and engineered steps that turn a sloped yard into usable space.
Gas or wood fire bowls and fireplaces, set on heat-rated pavers with proper clearances and gas-line coordination.
Double-duty retaining walls that add seating, define zones and give the patio a finished architectural edge.
Paver bases and utility runs for built-in grills, fridges and prep counters — coordinated with your appliance supplier.
Low-voltage path, step and accent lighting installed during the build — no surface conduit, no trip hazards.
