Interlocking in Galt
Interlocking across Galt, from the century streets around Dickson Hill and the downtown core to the newer subdivisions on the east and south sides.
Galt is the oldest part of Cambridge and the interlock work reflects it. On the streets around Dickson Hill, along Grand Avenue and through the blocks off Main Street, the typical job is a front walkway and steps that have settled toward a stone or brick foundation over a century, often with two or three generations of patching on top. The honest fix excavates the whole run and rebuilds the base, not just the dip. Two of Cambridge's three Heritage Conservation Districts, Dickson Hill and Main Street, are here, and under the Ontario Heritage Act an exterior alteration on a property in a district needs a permit from the City before it starts; individually designated houses outside the districts carry a similar consent requirement. That shapes material and profile choices and it adds time to the front of the schedule, so it is the first thing checked for a Galt address. The east side of Galt and the subdivisions toward Franklin Boulevard are a different job: driveways from the 1990s and 2000s on thin bases, heaved at the apron, where re-levelling with a proper base is the answer. The Grand runs through the middle of all of it, and lots near the river can sit in a Grand River Conservation Authority regulated area that is checked before anything is excavated.

Frequently asked questions
Do you charge more to work in Ayr or out past Blair?
No. Ayr, Blair and the surrounding countryside are quoted on the same terms as the rest of Cambridge. What changes a quote is the job itself: a longer rural driveway, a slope that needs a retaining wall or a drain, or access that decides whether a skid steer can get to the back.
Do the permit rules change outside the City of Cambridge?
Yes. Ayr is in North Dumfries Township, which has its own entrance and zoning rules, and anything on a Regional road is the Region of Waterloo's permit wherever the address is. The 7-metre width and 45 per cent landscape figures on this site are the City of Cambridge's. We confirm the applicable rule for the exact address before a design is drawn.
Is the ground different between the villages and the subdivisions?
In our experience, yes, and it matters more than the postal code. Newer subdivision lots tend to have graded subsoil close to the surface that drains slowly, which is where thin bases heave. Older village and rural lots vary from lot to lot, and the site visit includes a look at what is actually under the existing surface before the base depth is specified.
